Speculation that Shawn Simms will be Nebraska's new running back coach is inaccurate, according to Husker coach Bo Pelini.

Pelini said on Sunday that he will name the coach after the bowl season because that coach's team is involved in a bowl game.

Does Pelini have any ideas as to who he is going to bring in as Nebraska's strength coach in the wake of Dave Kennedy's leaving?

"Oh, yeah," is all Pelini would say on Thursday, grinning.

"You'll see when I hire him. That's narrowed down significantly right now. Fortunately, I have a lot of guys in the business that I have a lot of respect for that have had a lot of success. I feel real good where that hire is going."

Many people spoke of one of Pelini's downsides being that he wasn't necessarily 'great' with the media...however it seems to me he's made himself much more open to the press than the previous administration.

I just heard a rumor that Notre Dame or Michigan was looking at him. I thought he was just the RB coach at LSU.

He is and he's one of their top recruiters.

The RB coach has already signed so if it is Porter he must have already decided. He is also the special team coach for LSU so it would make sense since those are the two area's that havent been filled.

 
Well, one more clue to who it is....Bo said that who ever it is won't be announced until after the Bowl season is over....which means that they are probably involved in one of the better BCS Bowl games with one of the better teams....any ideas?

 
To add onto the Stan Drayton comment, they said that he had connections to Bo, and that he is originally form Ohio.... and that he was listed as one of the top 25 recruiters in NCAA.....landed 9 recruits for Florida last season, and recruits the state of Florida....the guys on 1620 were almost hoping that Stan is the guy.
