Biography

Bo Pelini, one of the most respected and innovative defensive minds in football, begins his third season as LSU’s defensive coordinator in 2006. During his first two years with LSU, Pelini has established the Tiger defense as one of the nation’s best. Pelini has directed an LSU defense that ranked No. 3 in the nation in total defense in back-to-back seasons, while also ranking No. 3 nationally in scoring in 2005 and No. 4 in 2006.

In two years with the Tigers, Pelini’s defenses have produced four NFL Draft picks along with four First-Team All-America selections. Pelini made an immediate impact in his first year at LSU, taking over a Tiger defense that ranked among the best in the nation the two previous years and making them even better. With an attacking style, Pelini's 2005 defense ranked among the top 10 in the nation in four categories, including No. 3 nationally in total defense (266.8 yards per game), scoring defense (14.2 points per game) and pass defense efficiency (96.3 rating). LSU also ranked No. 6 in the nation in total defense (91.5 yards per game).

Pelini's defense allowed seven points or less six times, including holding Miami to only three points in the Peach Bowl. The Tiger defense also held opponents out of the endzone in the first quarter 11 times in 13 games in 2005.

 
Callahan is just too stubborn to be a good college coach. He can't adapt. He can't motivate. He can't be humble. He can't be unselfish. He can't learn from his mistakes. He can make obviously necessary changes. He doesn't command respect. And most of all he doesn't understand Husker tradition.

Callahan treats coaching like a teacher treats teaching math. Callahan thinks that if I get this player who can throw the ball like this and some OL who can block exactly this way and a RB who can run this fast, and if they all do exactly what i tell them their is no way anyone can stop them.

He treats football like a math equation, he doesnt take into account that he is playing with college kids and sometimes kids play better than they should play. He doesnt take into account that if a kid is jacked up and ready to play he can play awesome even if he doesnt always know what he is doing out there. Callahan wants his players to be machines, he wants them to do exactly what he tells them, nothing more nothing less and it doesnt matter if they playing the Patriots they should have success.

Its not a math equation though sometimes on the football field 2+2 doesnt equal 4 and when this occurs things like Stanford beats USC or App. St takes down Michigan and Callahan doesnt get this.

Hey man, good work on these. I'm glad to finally get the basic facts and rundown of our top potential candidates. I personally think Pelini will get the nod when the time comes. He's just everything we need right now in terms of our defense and motivation. With a good OC at his side, we could rise to prominance on the back of our defense and then hopefully take it to the next level with all the pieces in place for whatever offensive system is implemented.

Keep it up,
