This is what I’ve been hearing. He wants to try to help get the people on his staff that he is replacing a job before he lets them go. Until then, it’s not Kosher to hire someone for a job that is currently filled.

As far as Jim Rose is concerned, he’s not worth listening to. He takes cheap shots at people or ideas he doesn’t agree with (or understand) while he’s on air. This was a prime example of what he does. He doesn’t know the story and he starts crap about it.

I need to know what Pelini had for breakfast, when Watson went to the bathroom, how much time Martinez spent playing video games.
How dare they not report this sooner!!!!!

To all Husker haters…this is what a class act head coach does.

Honest, stand-up guy, intensely loyal – even while he’s firing someone! – class act, but he (and the athletic department PR people) are pretty bad at conveying that to the public (something it doesn’t seem he cares that much about anyway), so he’s still been getting raked over the coals for all of this.

Like I said a few threads ago, the main question he needed to answer was why Corey Raymond’s boss announced he was taking a job that no one else even knew was open – and that was announced within a day of when it came up. I’m fine with waiting until everything’s in place before we hear official news about the new staff – we’re all finding out exactly what’s happening through all these leaks anyway.

with you C,myself, I was getting tired of the delay but this is a TOTAL surprise and I’m impressed.

“Thank God and Greyhound, you’re gone.”

Does Watson still stay? Or does Pelini say, “Sorry, I tried. See ya later” Watson does have pretty good credentials for most jobs. But as it’s been said, he’s just a square peg in a round hole here at Nebraska.
