[Husker] Raymond to LSU

[Mike Jaixen]

Frankly, this whole debate comes down to the following question:

Did Bo Pelini call Miami (FL), Ohio State, and Penn State and say "I want to be your next coach!"

Or did Miami (FL), Ohio State, and Penn State call Bo Pelini and say "Would you be interested in interviewing for our open head coaching job?"

David and Skylar believe the former.  With nothing else to go on other than the statements of Pelini and Tom Osborne, I believe it was the latter.

Agree that Pelini's job is safe from the NU side while Tom is AD. But that doesn't mean Pelini won't choose to go somewhere else.  However, in my opinion only, this idea that Pelini is some kind of hot head coaching target is WAY overblown.  This guy has misbehaved his way out of consideration for top tier head coaching jobs.  I believe that no way he gets an offer from any school that is not a significant step down from where he is now.  Prestigious programs, of which the University of Nebraska is one, are not going to hire someone who behaves this way.  Honestly now, if Bo Pelini had been a head coach at another school the last four years, and behaved the exact same way as he has here, do you really think that Tom Osborne would hire him?  Nonsense.  Doesn't mean he won't go somewhere else, but it won't be for a better college job than the one he has now.  And could you see him as a pro head coach!? The press would eat him alive if his players
 didn't beat the crap out of him
