[Husker] It sure feels like Turner

[Scott R Lawson]

For me it comes down to a personality thing. Although Gill is quite well
liked and seems to fit all the traits Nebraskans admire, I like the fact
that Pelini is a 'get in your face' type guy who will even tell someone
like Bill Snyder where to go if need be.

I know that's not the way to select a coach, but I think this defense
could use that type of guy about now, and I don't believe either of
these two would join the staff as an assistant, so the odds of getting
both (which is really what I'd want) are probably zilch.

I wish my opinion mattered...

all day)

Turner may be the front runner right now, but in addition to Grobe,  
Turner and Bo, I think there might be at least one, maybe two more  
people Osborne wants to talk to...otherwise we might have heard  
something by now. If we hear something tomorrow, it'll be one of  
those three, I suppose.  If it goes on into the weekend or next week  
it means he wants to talk to a couple more candidates.  Watch for  
planes coming and going!
