You're right, upon further reflection, I have no doubt that neither Indiana (they already have a better HC than Pelini, anyway) or KU (doubt their interested in any more so-called "Nebraska guys" after the dumpster fire that was the Turner Gill Era) would go anywhere near Pelini, either.
Dirk? Uhm, excuse me, Mr. Dirk? Go home.You're right, upon further reflection, I have no doubt that neither Indiana (they already have a better HC than Pelini, anyway) or KU (doubt their interested in any more so-called "Nebraska guys" after the dumpster fire that was the Turner Gill Era) would go anywhere near Pelini, either.
The really sad thing is that obviously those ploys by his agent worked to the pont where he's now nearly earning $3MM/year and hasn't managed to exceed even the middling accomplishments he pulled off when he had Callahan's (read: way more talented) recruits. Some of those school names that have been rumored are just laughable. Miami? When they were staring down the NCAA barrel? People really think someone would wanna jump into that? Okay. The Pedo State one is even more laughable. I know this heresy around these parts, but I think his boss may have wanted to slow down on the Kool-Aid there.
I'm not gonna lie. You really might be spot on here. Hard to argue with that notion when we know he wants the Ohio St. job.
I'm also 100% confident that he completely believed Gene Smith and E. Gordon Gee were waiting down the hall with a contract already in-hand after the 2011 tOSU game and were just waiting for him to wrap up taping his post-game show to take him on a private plane to Columbus. Guy just has that special combination of meglomania, complete and total lack of self-awareness, and stupid to swallow that type of pie-in-the-sky hook, line, and sinker.
