Nebraska selects Pelini as new HC
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3135858
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. Pat Forde is a senior writer for ESPN.com. He can be reached at [email protected]. |

When the Boogie man goes to bed he checks his closet for Bo.

As a Mizzou fan I could not be more happy they got Bo. He is overrated as a D coordinator and will make for an average coach. He was given a D stocked with talent this year and underachieved. NU fans only suck this guy off because he took their D from being crap one year to being the 11th best D in the nation. That year MU hung 41 and Texas hung 31 on that Bo lead D.
If Bo had never been at NU in 2003 would be even be an option. Hell several teams turned him away last year when he was interested. Bring on Bo! |

For all the people beating the inexperience drum, Tom Osborne had no head coaching experience when Bob Devaney hired him in 1973.

The press conference is at 4 p.m. Marvin Sanders is rumored to join Pelini's staff. The NU defense led the nation in interceptions in 2004 when Sanders coached the secondary. I'm looking forward to seeing the DBs get the receiver's face instead of giving them a cushion.

I have no head coaching experience either... maybe they should hire me. Clearly I'd kick ass, because Tom Osborne did. ![]() I'm not saying your coach won't do well... just that it's an argument that has no merit. |

I love the Bo bashing. I guess you ass clowns never knew he was the coach for the Alamo Bowl game when we dominated MSU. This is a very good hire.
