Found this article on ESPN.com about the Nebraska coaching job. Take a look at the options that people think they're seriously looking at:
"Sources told ESPN.com's Pat Forde on Wednesday that Nebraska has narrowed its search to two candidates: Turner Gill, head coach at Buffalo, and Bo Pelini, the defensive coordinator at LSU."
Bo Pelini's pedigree is obvious - LSU's defense is pretty good. Buffalo, meanwhile, is traditionally abysmally bad; their best season before this year (5-7, 5-3 MAC) was in 1996, when they were still in I-AA (they went 8-3 that year). Even by I-AA standards, however, they've always been pretty bad, so to actually win any games out there is quite incredible.
Here's the thing:
If I said, "Hey, we're going to replace a Hall of Fame coach with either the defensive coordinator of LSU or the University of Buffalo's head coach," what are you going to say?
Ault may be losing his touch, and it's certainly time for retirement, but I don't think he's going anywhere without his consent...

It appears that Chan Gailey is also available now too. Why not the former offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys?
ReplyDeleteI think the attitude of the AD at Nevada needs to change, in order to change the tradition. First, why only allow tailgating a couple of hours before the game? Why not all morining? Second, get rid of the track already-- move it to the practice fields. Third, and this goes more towards the facilities at Nevada in general, spectators should enter the stands at the top, and work towards the bottom as the ticket-prices/seat-locations improve.
My 3-cents. Keep up the good work~
Fireing Chris Ault is not the answer. The program needs more money and more good players to compete
