Sources: Nebraska to name LSU defensive coordinator Pelini as coach
By Pat Forde
ESPN.com

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.

its not hard when the worst that will happen is they will be playing in a bowl game on Jan 1. And also the basketball team is looking smokin' hot and they are not 100% healthy. Even after the loss a week ago it is still a very good time to be a Jayhawk fan.

Pelini denies ESPN report

ESPN has just reported that LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini is the next coach at Nebraska.

Here's what was reported by ESPN:
"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."

The Journal Star just reached Pelini by phone. He denied the report.

"I honestly don't know where they're getting their information," he said.

Stay tuned.

kcfan82 · 11-30-2007, 09:08 PM

I'm sure it's a done deal, I bet he just doesn't want his players thinking about it this weekend.

Media outlets should be forced to say "Breaking Rumor".

That's good to hear. I was worried that they would get someone like Spurrier.

I'm pondering a username change to Go Bo, I think it's available.

I just hope Les "foot in mouth" Miles stays. It's going to be fun watching that idiot destroy everything Saban built up.

He does come off as a bit of a prick.

I hope it's true. I was worried they'd hire Gill.

Who the hell's Bo Pelini? I'm still the head coach of this team. I've done an excellent job in every respect of every area of this football team. I can't believe my supervisor would pull this kind of prank.
