One of two coaches from Bill Callahan’s staff to be retained by new NU head football coach Bo Pelini, Gilmore has already sat in distant living rooms with his new boss.
Gilmore had a little something in common with the high school recruits Pelini spoke to on these living room visits. Just like the kids, he wondered what Pelini might say.
“I don’t know if Bo knows this,” Gilmore said, “but not only was he recruiting those kids, but he was recruiting me. I was listening to every word, listened to the way he conducted business, listened to what his philosophy is, what his vision is for the program. And I can stand here before you and say I’m excited to be a part or it.”
