[Husker] It sure feels like Turner

[Alan Siporin]

It would be nice, but in both cases, you're asking people to go backwards
instead of forward. Neither Gill nor Pelini is going to be an assistant
coach, and Frank isn't coming back.

Of course, the painful thing (for those of us who see things that way), is
that we had Gill and Pelini as assistants at the same time. Pelini was only
here one year, transforming a weak defense into a very good one, before
Cosgrove transformed it back. From 7-7 to 10-3 in one year. Imagine what we
might have done. Hopefully, we'll still get there, several years later, with
a different cast of characters.
