Pelini will call defenses?

Eric the Red

I think he said this. Is this a good idea having another head coach calling plays for a team instead of just "managing"

 
He also said he's going to let the other coaches coach their own spots. With what he has done in the past I'll let him call the defense and let someone else call the offense and whatnot..

 
Cosgrove must have winced when he heard this. Bet the next story we hear is "Pelini Dismisses Cosgrove."
:bonez :hellloooo :hellloooo :bonez

I already sent him a couple hundred boxes and a bus ticket.

He has to have known that he was gone, if not, he's dumber than I th.

It sounds to me that he will call the defensive plays but not be the D coordinator technically. He will hire a guy and let him coach but Pelini will be make the executive decisions when calling the plays.

 
Only coaches that want to be interviewed will have a chance to retain their spots...I highly doubt Cosgrove wants to be here anymore

 
What this does is make the offensive coordinator position very important. I think Pelini will take a more hands on approach on the offense but wont dictate what goes on. Osborne called the offensive plays and was involved in the defense, but the defense was ran by Charlie McBride.

So Pelini will run the D but will be involved with the offense to some degree (more than Callahan was involved with defense) and the OC will ultimately run the offense.

 
What would be wrong with him calling defensive plays? Most of the time, the coach comes from a offensive background and calls the plays with input from the booth where the OC is.....

I have no problem with Bo taking on the Defense....

Still had to bug him to hear it..

 
I thought that it was decided that the name of Cos**** was to never be spoken within the Husker Nation again unless you wanted to get 40 lashes....??

 
I think Pelini should keep Cos as the DC, and every time he made a bad decision, BO would overrule and give him that head slap, like Benny Hill use to do to that old bald guy. :hitit
