Pat Sullivan steps down at Samford http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014 ... rt_m-rpt-2

[From the class of 09]

Tulsa fired their HC

http://espn.go.com/college-football/sto ... lankenship

I think this is probably the type of job we should worry about losing our head coach. I have no idea what Gill's looking for in the immediate future but he'd probably have to breakthrough the lower FBS ranks to get a crack at a Power-5 school again. Tulsa just seems like it'd be a good fit.

I don't care for Colin Cowherd very much but he nailed Nebraska. Elite level athletes don't want to spend 4-years in a cornfield. Getting players to some of these midwest schools is a challenge and Pelini did as good a job as any could have expected him to do in that setting. I think they're going to end up kicking themselves soon in letting him go.

I agree...Colin is an idiot. Lincoln is a city on par with Tuscaloosa or Eugene it's sure not Miami or Austin but the right person can get the job done there. Pelini wasn't the most charismatic of coaches which hurt his recruiting IMO. Billy managed to get 4&5 star talent there he just had other problems (coaching).

Also I'd be surprised if Gill leaves for Tulsa. I could be wrong but I feel like we could be that school that breaks him through the lower ranks.

Turner Gill's name gets some play by a caller on Dan Patrick today, being mentioned as part of a great Nebraska coaching staff.

I think Coach Gill likes it at LU, and will be here for awhile.

Been a cornhusker from the womb. Though my family has always spoken of the glory days, I.e. Osborne. That's what is good and bad about nu., and why Bo got canned. At Nebraska it isn't all about winning, we want the glory days back. And it is about doing it the Nebraska way. That's why it is so hard to coach there. There is heritage and pelini didn't share that, he wasn't cut from that cloth, and he didn't cut the muster. NU will hire someone with Lincoln connections, with winning hc experience.
Personally, I think, if they can get it worked out Bohl is the perfect man for the job.
Look, he has won in North Dakota.... A lot...... He played under Osborne and coached under Osborne in national championships.
He had his on legendary time at ndsu. I mean Lincoln won't be easy to recruit to. But surely it isn't as bad as Fargo. The only thing against him is that he hint the youngest guy out there.

Fact is he is the man for the job, and Bo should have been let go several seasons ago and Bohl called.

Again, this will be a huge factor in their search. They've had enough of doing it some other way.

Don't know if this was posted already, but Montana will have a new coach when we meet them again next season. http://missoulian.com/sports/college/mo ... d46bc.html

Been reading that Nebraska may be going after Bret Bielema. That would be a good call. If he can duplicate the success he had at Wisconsin, Nebraska fans would love him.

Bielema is someone Michigan should also consider. I think they should also think about getting Barry Alvarez for AD. Some think Greg Schiano is destined for Michigan.

I just think Nebraska would be best with a 'Nebraska' guy. Granted he has a system that fits what Nebraska wants but whey leave Arkansas for that?
Of course his wife, who he met in a Vegas casino, is smoking hot so that's a plus regardless

A lot of people are saying Bielema is kinda an arogont d***. If he wins its no big deal but if he's average well, it doesn't look like his personality will endear him to any fans.

Hmmm. Sounds like a former Nebraska coach.

Right! His style of play fits but idk about his personality.

Reading Nebraska fans think their too good for Beliema is my new favorite activity. Nebraska would be lucky to reel in Carroll McCray.

Rumors have been swirling since Saturday that Randy Edsall may be a blowout loss in a bowl game away from being shown the door in College Park. That may be just a knee-jerk reaction to the way they blew a nearly 20 point half time lead against Rutgers at home. But the more interesting thing was how many times Bo Pelini's name was mentioned as a possible replacement for Edsall. I don't know if it's overconfidence in the power of Under Armour money or actually thinking he would take the job if available.

Maryland gave Edsall a fully guaranteed contract for $2 million/season over six years in July 2011. If they want to fire him, Maryland/Under Armour can swing that.

Nebraska and their fans definitely better than Bielema.

Congrats on being great in the 70's and 80's. 17 and 18 year old's don't care. A 6'1" WR who runs a 4.3 40 would sooner care about your academics before they thought about your "tradition." And good luck finding a "Nebraska" man. That plan certainly worked out for Michigan.

McElwain to Florida

I saw a tweet about Jim Tressel to Nebraska. Any truth there?

[VAGolf]

That's a great hire by Florida. The great thing about Muschamp was that he could recruit, so there is talent in Florida. They'll be competitive next year along with Tennessee and Georgia.

I highly doubt it.
