[Husker] Wisconsin promotes young defensive coordinator to HC

[Mike Jaixen]

I had seen that story when it came out, and had a good
laugh.  I would have commented on it here, except that
I think the whole Steve Pederson coaching search has
been beaten worse than a dead horse/rented
mule/rent-a-car.  At this point, many people are
convinced that it was pure genius or a complete
debacle, and there's nothing new to really add to that
debate.

However, I haven't seen anything about Pelini's
defensive scheme being scrapped.  I tried to search
for the article you mentioned, and all I found was a
story where Bob Stoops says that they are NOT changing
their secondary schemes.  Technique, yes.
