If you guys hire Pelini, I can't see much more than a bunch of 8-4 seasons out of Tennessee.

I mean, that's better than it has been recently...but it will probably get old after a while.

Maybe. But that would have been my prediction with Strong too. Pelini has a higher winning percentage and he has done it in a major conference. He's not my ideal candidate, but he's never won less than 9 games in any season and he's got SEC coordinator experience (and a NC), so I think he's as close to a homerun hire as we could hope for.

Have you watched Nebraska play on multiple occasions? If not, you should probably stop talking.

Pelini has been lucky and has been surrounded by weaker schools in both the Big XII North and the B1G Legends. When he has to face a team stronger, he usually loses (see Michigan State). He also has questionable game management, and his defenses suck at Nebraska and do not even remotely resemble the defenses he had at LSU. 70 points to 7-5 Wisconsin? That isn't the only example...the Nebraska defenses of late have been a joke to the Blackshirt history of the school.

In the SEC East, he would have more competition. Guaranteed losses to Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama.

This SEC job has been rejected by everyone we offered to. We are the only big school left who still doesnt have a coach. The last good option just said he preferred louisville over UT. We are the punchline of the entire nation. Same thing happened with the last hire. And we are still so arrogant that we find every viable option as unacceptable in some way or another.

at this stage, Pelini would be a very good get. Has won 9-10 games every year at Nebraska. Not as good a get as Bielema, but in the conversation, at least.

Go to Wikipedia. He has a lot of experience at a lot of places, inlcuding the NFL. He seems like a better DC than HC, but he has won a lot of games, just not the big ones as HC. There are a few bad losses in there, but his winning percentage is very high.

I don't think I would be absolutely thrilled with the hire, but we could do worse.

Wisconsin game or not we need to make a run at Bo if he's interested. Just running out of viable options.

use your own argument about watching a team (Wisconsin) play much. They lost three OT games, and the other two were by 3 points. helluva lot better team than you think they are.

psu fan telling someone else not to talk. bet your former coaches wished others would have done that, too

Can't define this guys career by one beat down by Wisconsin. He seems to be a very consistent coach. 9 or 10 wins every year at Nebraska. This is the most attractive guy out there right now. Has SEC experience as well. And to the PSU guy, when you have missed a bowl the past two seasons and have had losing records, 8-4 looks pretty good right now. Especially with our schedule next year. If Pelini could go 8-4 next year he would deserve a raise.

I think you are way off the mark. I would much rather have a successfull head coach with SEC, DC, and tons of wins under his belt than another Bammer Assistant Reject.

Your only reason not to want him is that he lost to Wisconsin? Sh$t happens. If I recall right, you wanted Strong even though he lost to KY, Syracuse, and Uconn.

Have some consistency.

I do have consistency. Yes I was for Strong, but it makes no sense in wanting someone who no longer desires the job. We move on. As for Pelini the story on him and Arkansas was on the radio (XM) a few days back. We all have choices and I prefer Smart over him.

Dude that's Afro sheen. Don't be intimidated by it. And preferring Smart over Pelini is my choice. I don't think I stand alone.

I would also suggest that the pro-Pelini fans look at the Husker boards' thoughts on this. The majority of them are not upset at Bo, and they don't mind if he leaves.

That should ring alarms for you.

Yes. If Nebraska fans can't appreciate 9 wins a season that's their problem. I think we would all love to be in the position to complain about that right now.

The 9 wins a season are fine. It's that we can't win the games that matter. We've been to 4 CCG in 5 years and haven't won one of them. We haven't won a conference championship since 1999. We are husker fans craving the dominance we had in the 90's and when that is taken from you and you see the SEC dominating it's depressing! We want to return to prominence so bad, and if it doesn't come right away we panic and want change. It's not that he isn't consistent with wins, it's that we haven't lost less than 4 games a year! We are 10-3 and about to be 10-4 after UGA. This was Bo's best start since he's been here and once again we flush it down the toilet..this was our best year to win the CCG and play in the Rose Bowl. We are not rational fans here, we are intelligent but expect to win 10+ games a year or try to push a coach out.
