[Husker] Pragmatic silver lining

[Sue Smith]

David, well said.  How many people wanted to hire Solich or Callahan?  If your're good people want you.  If your not, they don't.  However, I still wish Shawn Watson luck in his Vandy job quest.

Like all of you I have no idea what's going on in Lincoln. On a larger scale
I'm not sure it matters.

But I think there is a silver lining to the potentially non-big news.
Pelini's public stock in terms of being a recognizable name in college
football has just risen by a vast amount. All over the nation papers are
replicating his name under the keywords "most coveted" and "defensive
genius". By the same token Nebraska is being acknowledged as a program
rising again from a lull.

My hope? That yes the Miami AD did informally approach Pelini, and yes he
did consider it (how many of us wouldn't listen to a lucrative potential
offer) but in the end wants to finish the job. Nebraska (and Pelini) will
have gotten free press that paints both quite nicely. Pelini now has more of
a star quality that can open some doors with regard to recruiting and to new
assistant coaches when that need arises.

Should the unfortunate happen and Pelini pull the eject handle, there is
still a silver lining (albeit with a slight question mark) as NU is
positioned as a program poised for its return and, I believe, a more
attractive spot that it was 4 years ago.
