Tressels Resignation - Good for Nebraska?

I thought there was a rule against inner-Conference coaching changes? Did I get bad information?

You got bad information if you think there is a hard and fast rule. As B-rent said, it's an unwritten rule, a long standing gentlemen's agreement between Big 10 schools not to poach another school's head coach. Doesn't mean it will never happen. If it did, doing it to the new kid on the block doesn't seem too far-fetched, but I still doubt they'll go after Bo.

 
Ohio State might actually be tougher now. Player tweets in article by Adam Rittenberg:

Running back Jordan Hall: So much love for coach tress. Promise no team wanna play us .#onamission
Running back Jaamal Berry: Still love you coach Tress were going to win it all for you and #BuckeyeNation

Cornerback Travis Howard: This will make us stronger as a team aNd tougher as individuals we gone pull this together and make it happen #beastmode

Former cornerback Donald Washington: #CoachTress deserves a statue ... I would love to be suiting up for the #bucks with all the bs going on! I gotta feeling the Buckeyes are gon be untamed this fall!

When are people going to realize that these lists of "candidates" for these jobs are not factual, they're dreamed up by the guy writing the article. These lists are fabricated with the sole intent of keeping your eyeballs glued to their website/TV show, nothing more.

The administration at Ohio State isn't emailing ESPN or CBS or Yahoo or Sports Illustrated with a list of candidates. No "insider" in these programs is leaking this info to these guys. The only reason there's a list of names is so you will watch/read/listen. That's it.

Bo wont even be offered unless everything else falls through, he hasnt even won a conference title yet and it is an unwritten rule in the BIG that coaches dont go to another conference school. they want someone that is established and bo just isnt established enough yet.

Bobby Stoops will be target numero uno as he has won multiple titles and won or appeared in multiple national title games. as well as being from ohio! its a no brainer really.

P.S. ohio state received a copy of the article from SI that supposedly has very incriminating things in it on friday of last week, tressel resigned the next business day, and that article will be published online tomorrow at noon. should be interesting.

except we aren't in the B1G till July 1st.

except they have already stated that they wont officially be searching for a new head coach until after the season. at that time we will be in the BIG and likely be BIG champs.

So Bo has until July 1st to jump ship.

I know at least two questions Sipple is going to ask Bo.

1. Is Bubba still committed to Nebraska?

2. Has Ohio State contacted you?

The resignation of Tressel will have little, if any effect on the game against the Huskers. The players are still the same and it is the execution of plays on the field that really make a difference.

I want to beat the best anyway.....

Why aren't the names Dan Mullen, Gus Malzahn, or Dana Holgerson popping up? Those are the guys I'd want if Pelini left.

Yeah.. we want Dana...a guy that's close to being dismissed from his current job where he was given 14 million and the head coaching gig next year for the simple fact he can't control his booze. The guy has had at least 6 instances in the past 6 months where he's been banned from Casinos or bars for "partying too hard".

 
Has anyone heard about how much of the staff will be retained?

Also, I'm throwing Bronco Mendenhall's names into the ring

Also, will the Inked Five or whatever they're calling them locked in at a 5 game suspension, or might that get worse? Playing tOSU without their coach AND best players wouldn't even be fun.
