From Michigan free board.

Took Mods all of 3 minutes to move the Stanford coaching thread into the Michigan vacancy thread. They must be related if Huskerboard says so! Those coaching switches are going to happen now, it's karma for combining the threads.

Rumorville was 90% full of trash though. Carl and his mistresses, etc. IMO there's a difference between rumors and legitimate speculation (that actually pertains to football). Will Bo end up at Michigan? No. But could the Michigan vacancy impact his status at NU? Certainly. I don't see the harm in discussing it. It's no different than projecting the draft spots of our top prospects IMO - all speculation...but they are are going to the NFL and they will be picked somehwere. Bo is leaving NU eventually and he'll coach somewhere. When/where is up in the air, but Bo has been tied to a number of jobs this season considering he didn't even lead a top 25 team.

 

We didn't hear it last year after finishing strong at #14. Why are we hearing it so much this year after a pathetic finishing stretch to end up out of the top 25? (assumption) Going off memory here, but you don't see Bielema getting named for every big opening. Haven't really heard Dantonio mentioned much. No one is really after Chris Peterson, Beamer, Pinkle, Gundy, etc. All have produced top 25 teams recently. Why? Because Peterson is content at Boise, Bielema has a great thing going at Wisconsin, Pinkle is settled at Missouri, Beamer enjoys VT. Gundy is even firmly planted into the Oklahoma State program. But for some reason Pelini doesn't seem to be as firm, and therefore he is mentioned for most of the big-time jobs that are coming open, despite his "loose cannon" image and complete inability to deal w/ the press. Despite finishing out of the top 25 2 out of 3 years at Nebraska.

 

It's a small world out there when it comes to these athletic programs and coaching circles. If he was so "firmly" our head coach - we wouldn't be having these conversations. His stock hasn't improved so much over last year that he all of a sudden is a front runner for every top program without a coach - so what changed?

It has to make you wonder.

Excellent points. Just goes to show you he's not at the elite level of those coaches...yet. He could be. Shoot, take away that horrible 2nd half vs OU + the loss to Washington to end the season, and he'd be much closer to reaching the status. Alas here we are. What a huge difference 6 quarters can make.

Who's fighting against the Rumorville section? Someone who's job pays more than your job?

Here's my take on it: This is a spectacular board - and it's free. The reason it's free is due to traffic/impressions. These "rumor" threads...while often annoying...get a lot of traction in the football section where probably 70% of HB users hang. While creating a Rumorville section might reduce the clutter and BS arguments that each "rumor" generates, it also reduces the interest in the topic because none of us really hung out in Rumorville. So while it's nice to talk about Jared Crick's draft stock, or Cody Green as a passer - these rumors more effectively pay the bills during the offseason if they are where we can all see em. :)

 
Rumorville was getting more traffic than the regular forum several times. It has its place.

But you don't know how much traffic Carl sleeping w/ the donor's daughter/wife/son would have created had it been in the football section now do you? :) (just having fun w/ ya knapp)

 
Bo's going no where and I don't think Miles is either. I think they'll get San Diego State's coach. They will wait for the Recruiting class to sign and then NU dumps Watson after his guys are inked.
