My Man Crush

by 96operator on Oct 30, 2007 11:53 PM CDT

I have to admit. I have a man crush on Bo Pelini. Just look at him. The guy is a total badass. Bo Pelini is a rugged, plaid-wearing, beef jerky eating badass. The guy is a defensive genius. Look what he did with Nebraska's D. 55th in the Nation to #11. 2nd in the nation in takeaways. Guys were flying all over the field, willing to sacrifice their bodies to make plays.

I mean I don't know who couldn't have a man crush on Pelini. Men want to be him and women want to be with him. He's a total man's man. And he has to be the guy to replace Superbowl Bill Callahan.

Lets compare the two:

Bo Bill
Players love............YES...............NO
him as a coach.

Looks like he's.........NO..............YES
about to cry on
sidelines.

Knows how to............Yes..............NO
develop
talent.

Enjoys music............YES..............NO
by Conga master
Poncho Sanchez

Has the respect......HELL YES............NO
of the millions
in Corn Nation

Would look..............YES..............NO
totally awesome
with a handlebar
moustache

Has 8lb. playbook.......NO..............YES

Insults the.............NEVER...........YES
intelligence of
the fan base

Shows raw................YES.............NO
emotion during
game

Willing to make..........YES.............NO
in game or halftime
adjustments

There it is, the most comprehensive comparison between Bo Pelini and Bill Callahan. Bo wins 8-2. I dare anyone to compare Bo with any other candidate out there using my system. I might be a little biased because I do have a little bit of a man crush on him but how could he not be the next head coach at Nebraska? His default expression is a determined scowl, like he's prepared to introduce you to the business end of his shoe if you look at him wrong. Unlike that self serving jerk Callahan who seems to always have a smug grin on his face. His integrity is genuine on-field and off, similar to the living legend Dr. Tom Osborne.

So if you do nothing else, write, call, email or send Osborne a message by carrier pigeon urging him to contact Bo Pelini and get him here so he can begin the Big Red Resurgence.

GO BIG RED.

Mike Stoops? Where'd ya hear that?

Have you heard the Mullen (OC/Florida) rumors?

No

don't know much about it.

to be honest, that's why i'd like it if you guys used the diaries.

tell me more. I have no intention of being the fountain of all knowledge. this is a fan site, so if you know something, feel free to post it.

like i said, tell me more.

Mullen

I heard a rumor that Mullen would be interested in our HC job.

Combine that with Osborne's adoration of Urban Meyer's Offense (run by Mullen) and you have a potential runner there...............

"Mike Stoops as Pelini's defensive coordinator"

I heard it and would not be surprised.

However, I will say that Watson should be retained for at least one year to transition this offense to whatever the permanent Asst. HC / OC chooses; I'd like to see Shawn stay and succeed on Bo's staff myself.

I can only imagine what's going through Coach Tom's head right about now (knowing that this is a very in depth decision to fire and hire Coaching Staffs).....

Mike Stoops

Arizona alum seem to believe that M Stoops has to win out there this year to keep his job.

Don't see that happening.....

Mike Stoops won

I think Mike Stoops may have won himself a stay at Arizona with the win yesterday over UCLA. I would believe Mike would be a good hire for DC but the OU connection is going to be strong with his bro down there.

I have

heard the Mike Stoops rumor. I'll bet ol' big bro Bobby at Oklahomo hires Mike as soon as he's canned by the Cactus Cats.

He's a good D-coordinator though. Az might not have been a very good fit for him. I'll bet he ends up back east for another head coaching job in a few years.

We Want Bo!

Obviously, I am NOT "The" Corn Nation dot com; I believe Bo Pelini is a much better fit than Grobe!

Seriously, we can get Bo and we SHOULD! I can't believe with the obvious answer such a dilemma creates......

What if?

I don't live in the what of What Ifs! LOL

Seriously, I know for a FACT that if we want Bo, we can get him.

That in my mind is the target and we must succeed.

If not, I don't want to go past Turner Gill if he's willing to dump his HC contract and all that he's put in motion for Buffalo - but I'd bet a dollar to a dime that TG will take our job if offered.

Grobe at Wake? LOL, he couldn't even beat Callasham and Cozgroan. He could have smoked us that day if he'd make sensible adjustments.

Our Defense's short comings were brought to the surface that game and a pretty good but not great USC squad exploited them......well, everyone else has now.

I honestly believe that without putting a ton of pressure on the next HC; Bo will right this ship faster than anyone else. He has 'It'..........

After reading

that thing on the LJS website about TO "wanting Kevin Steele & Turner Gill," I kinda want to scream. I mean I'm all for bringing Turner back (I mean he is an outstanding coach) but Steele? As HC of Nebraska?

Cripes!

RE: Link to Steele/Gill article

I believe that article originates from T Dienhart at the Sport News website..............

Kevin Steele (NO thanks)

I believe he'd be a fine D Coordinator though.

If Turner is willing to walk away from what he's created/ing at Buffalo, I think he'd make a fine long term HC for Nebraska.

My choices when Solich was dismissed, then, were #1 Bo Pelini and #2 Turner Gill.

Hasn't changed.

This team needs a strong, young, fiery, winner of a D Coach and one can point to other institutions that made that wise choice for great affect.

Bo is 'gettable' and we should be doing anything and everything we can to get him.

For the old "Oxygen-toting" Corn crowd bellyaching about Bo being 'fiery'......yeah well you apathetic bone heads got us in this mess in the first place so who really cares what you think as we descend to the BOTTOM of 119 Division I-A Football programs!!??

"This is a better site anyway"

I've always lurked this site. I like it's functionality; the host seems on the ball and a clear thinker........it appears the Callasham/Oxygen-arians don't want me posting over at the LJS blog.

I guess we'll just have to scoop them from over here!

(I still have one PC logged on at that site that was seemingly still up this morning so I informed my Corn friends there I might be hanging out over here)

We ought

to take a page from the UCLA Bruins and put up "We Want Bo!" billboards in Baton Rouge and in Lincoln. Top it all off with a picture of Bo in his CORNhusker gear when he was the DC here.

by 96operator on Nov 2, 2007 3:00 PM CDT reply actions

So Corn Nation...

do I read you correctly, you want Bo Pelini to be the next coach at NU? LOL

Yeah he would be my second choice. Turner is MY first. I would love to see both of them come back. Turner as HC and Bo as DC. Or Bo as HC and Turner as OC. Either way and I would be estatic. Probably go get real drunk if that happened. I have been saying for a long time that my dream would be to have Tom as AD, Turner as HC, and Bo as DC. What a team that would make.

by taflorom on Nov 2, 2007 5:01 PM CDT reply actions

taflorom; IF i had a magic wand.......

I would put Bo in charge of Corn "D" and Turner in charge of "O".....with a fluid and functional co-opting of CEO. Like you I would be floating on clouds with the real potential for hyper-enthusiasm.......but, and that's a significant BUTT; Bo won't come here w/out being HC ...........NOR SHOULD TG!!!! TG will be a NC Coach in the next 5-7 yrs: Mark my words!!!!

who has the crush on a lesser man? LOL

by 96operator on Nov 2, 2007 11:27 PM CDT reply actions

well....

I am in love with both. Send 'em both.

And I agree that neither Turner or Bo will be here without being HC, but a man can dream cant he. I mean Jamie Lee Curtis and Farrah Fawcet ( the younger ones) are not coming to my house tonight to get in my bed, but hey, A MAN CAN DREAM CANT HE.

And the only other thing that would be great is imagine 3 years from now, Bo on one sideline, Turner on the other, coaching against each other for the MNC. Even if neither were at NU I would watch that game. Imagine that neither gets hired here, TG stays at BU, BP goes to Utah State and in 3 years they meet in the MNC game. That would almost be too funny. Oh hell with it I want one of them here.
