Holy crap...why don't y'all chill the f out. Sheesh...we been gettin' rumors all day, every day for the past...what...6-8 weeks. Some'll turn out to be true...some won't. Personally, I'm having fun just readin' them. Your all a bunch of liars if you say different. Otherwise...why would you be here reading them?? I especially like knapplc's (sp?)...very creative...had me goin' for a few minutes even. Funny how you're more apt to believe the rumors that you want to be true...
The creative and funny ones have been great. I thought the Salt-Water Aquarium guy was fantastically obscure.
I'm sure glad this board doesn't stoop to the same trashy level the LSU board does. :sarcasm
People really need to chill out. My recollection, right or wrong, is that IBR said that Pederson was out and TO was in as acting AD before anything went public... The Pederson call could have been luck, the TO information couldn't have been coincidence in my opinion. So his source isn't 100% accurate, life sucks sometimes, doesn't it? Until it's announced by TO, it's still possible for plans to change.
I honestly believe that IBR has been privy to real information. He has been in contact with those folks that have been working for four years to atone for Solich's firing. It makes sense. Hiring Osborne exacted revenge upon Peterson for firing Solich; Osborne got his retribution by firing Callahan; he follows up by designating yet another former assistant NU coach that has little chance of exceeding his own accomplishments. Note that Osborne seems to have a problem with hiring head coaches that have established their own credentials.
Even "nice" guys can be very conspiratorial at times.
This has all the appearance of another Solich hiring. Too fast, not enough of a search. I think that the "search" was a scam, and that Pellini was the designated heir-apparent from the beginning. That's the only reason that Osborne slithered back into the picture.
Then again, I see conspiracies everywhere.
