[Husker] It sure feels like Turner

I have two observations - my 2 cents worth on this topic. 

1 - I'd like to see BOTH Turner and Bo at NU again - I wonder how
well they worked together the year they were both on staff? I think
that Turner would be a more "TO" like Head Coach (demeanor, attitude
with the press, calmness level, etc) and that Bo would bring fire to
the DC position - maybe TOO much fire for the HC position. I doubt
that Bo would move for anything less than the HC position. Gill? is
he enough of a Nebraska die hard to come back as OC or Assistant HC
if Bo were chosen as HC? Also, would Gill or Pelini keep Watson as OC
for at least a year? Interesting questions in my mind. 

2 - With all the hubbub about Solich over the past 4 years, I find it
very interesting that I haven't heard one person (maybe I just missed
it) call for Solich to be interviewed and brought back to NU!
(Ducking from the tomatoes being thrown at me!) :-)
