Pelini fired

[VolinConcord]

I don't think Miami will be looking for a new head coach,at least not this offseason. Miami loses a lot after 2014 and a change will probably be made when Miami screws around and goes 4-8 in 2015.

You may be right. I have no clue what Miami will do with Golden. The idea of Kiffin in Miami would be very intriguing though.

Happens to the best of us

Heck in 2003 on VTTW i posted that Tennessee needed a new head football coach when Tennessee was knocked around by Clemson in the Chick Fil A Peach Bowl

I know we all go Sec homer at times but Neb is better than Mizzou and would have gone in dry on the East this season. Jmo

So is Pelini a big enough name as a splash hire for Florida?

ETA: Not hoping that happens, just wondering where your bar is for "big names."

His name will definitely get thrown in there now that he's available. Not sexy but I can see him getting a call.

 

[Wilson27]

I agree Missouri's schedule wasn't much better either but it would be a lot closer than you are giving them credit for. I'm not saying Nebraska would not have won the east but it by no means would have been automatic as you believe.

I bet Florida hires an NFL assistant. I'm never sold on NFL assistants you can never be sure if they can recruit.

Petrino FTW













































(Paul specifically)

 

[Dave1967]

Louisville put a huge buyout clause in his contract to make him stay at least 3 seasons.

Read it again (and look a bit closer at the bottom...)

Paul Petrino makes Will Muschamp look like Bear Bryant

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He'd be PERFECT for the Gators!

In seriousness and back on topic, I'd be surprised if Florida or another Power 5 team didn't give Pelini more than a passing glance. His name isn't tarnished enough to prohibit getting serious consideration as a HC.

Although he might sit a season out and wait to see what comes up. Doubt it though.

 

[YankeeVol]

8-17 vs. AP-ranked teams (3-9 on road)

No BCS Bowl appearances (3-3 overall in bowls)

No conference titles (lost in 2012 Big Ten title game, 70-31)

The Cowboys WR coach has done a good job with Dez Bryant. They should consider him.

 

[Gramps]

I see you completely failed to read my post.

Yeah I read your post.

You evidentially have a problem with numbers
Let new help you

The last 4 years the two men coached.

Pelini won 71 % of his games

Fulmer won 58% of his games

Pelini IMO would be a solid coach but without glamour sort of like Charlie Pell.

 

[LSU-SIU]

I would hire either Pelini or Muschamp for defensive coordinators, too me they are not HC material.

Derek Dumbass would be a good selection by Floridalol::good!:

 

[YankeeVol]

Only Oregon has a longer streak of 9+ win seasons than Pelini at Nebraska

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Florida Atlantic, McNeese St and Fresno St non conference....really? Plus already playing in a weak conference. Come on man!

Did you miss the Miami game in there? Very few Power 5 teams are playing more than 1 OOC game vs another Power 5.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Except the last 4 years of Fulmer's tenure has NOTHING to do with what I posted.

 

[PKT_VOL]

8-17 vs. AP-ranked teams (3-9 on road)

No BCS Bowl appearances (3-3 overall in bowls)

No conference titles (lost in 2012 Big Ten title game, 70-31)

Those stats but his W-L record in perspective.

 

[Wilson27]

Pelini is the Jerry Green of football. Wins games while alienating fan base.

You are absolutely correct!

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Bo Pelini is not going to Florida. That's silly.
