[Husker] Staying Put

[jon johnston]

The insinuation here is that we missed hiring a potentially great  
coach for Nebraska.

I am happy right now with where we are with Pelini. If Gill some day  
becomes greater than Bryant, more power to him. He'll always be a  
Husker.

By last year, he hadn't proven anything yet. Now he has. There's still  
a part of me that hopes he never comes back because I'd hate watching  
us fire him, as is the end to the vast majority of football coaches  
these days.
