Sources: Nebraska to name LSU defensive coordinator Pelini as coach

Barring any last-minute snags, LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini will be introduced as the new head coach at Nebraska early next week, multiple sources confirmed Friday.

Pelini will coach the Tigers defense Saturday in the SEC championship game against Tennessee and, according to a source close to the situation, will be in Lincoln for an announcement Monday.

Pelini and Buffalo coach Turner Gill were believed to be Tom Osborne's final two choices to replace fired Bill Callahan. Both have Nebraska ties -- Gill as a former player under Osborne and coach under Frank Solich, and Pelini as a former defensice coordinator under Solich.

The move further complicates LSU's postseason. Head coach Les Miles is expected to meet with Michigan Wolverines early next week about its head-coaching vacancy. LSU is making an effort to keep Miles, but he's a Michigan alum who has often voiced his affection for the Wolverines program.

Nice. We simul-posted.

They should have never gotten rid of him.

I wonder if he'll bring Turner Gill in as the offensive coordinator.

never heard of him

Well, I'll give you the edge, since you certainly care much more than I do. :)

He's a terrible DC.

Robinson bad?

ROFL not quite that bad, I don't think.

If I would've started a new thread instead of digging up the old one I would've beaten you by at least a minute.

God, I hope so. :evil:

Shouldnt they have done this I dont back before they hired Calahan.

Big mistake. They should have hired Pinkel.

Heyyy... I thought you were wanting them to hire Ron Prince.
