I dont think Paul Johnson would be right for that job. Like you said, the offense he runs is great for the academy, but I dont think that would go very well in the Big 12, no offense at all to Coach Johnson but I just dont see that being all that effective in the conference they are in

This is an objective view from a Southern Cal fan: It has to be Bo. Nebraska must get its defense disaster repaired and Pelini is your guy. I believe he would also be smart enough to return the offense back to the old days of running it down your throat. It sure would help recruiting and repair the relationship with Nebraska HS coaches that the Moron known as Coach Callahan destroyed in recent years.

What is the logic of letting Callahan go with a 5-7 record and then looking at Gill with a 5-7 record. Not saying he wouldn't be a good coach but they didn't win a non conferance game this year and I don't think they won one last year. I just don't think he is ready for the big time yet. I think if it came down to Tuner or Bo I think Bo would be the best one of the two to be able to run a big time program.

Going with Gill is a thought because of what he has done with Buffalo. That team won 10 games in 7 years before he took over. Winning 5 games in 1 year is a big thing at that program. He is in his 2nd year there and has won the Coach of the Year in their conference. Given another 5, they could be a viable team under his leadership.

Gill wins 5 games in 1 year and he's now a thought for Nebraska Head Coach? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Read this over and over Gill fans. TURNER GILL WILL NOT BE THE HEAD COACH OF NEBRASKA. First of all, Buffalo sucks. Second, he is NOT A GOOD COACH. I am well versed on U of Buffalo and trust me, Solich is way a head of this guy. In fact, just to make you feel even worse, NU might want to make Call-a-Ham the Offensive Coordinator should they hire Gill. He did great as a QB...leave it at that and not muck up the history books even more.

Rumor Bo bought a house in Lincoln? Anyone in on this one?

Lets see, I am here in Northern Virginia so my comment on the Navy coach...um, lets hope not. South Florida coach? Oh God, are we that desperate.

I still don't see the Gill thing. Sh@t they couldn't even beat Baylor. Why would you want a coach thats team plays the bottom third of div. 1 teams and can't come up with a winning record. I would rather have Bo with no head coaching but has coached in the big time over one that is a head coach that can't win in the bottom third.

I think that the decision has been made. Bo will be the man.

Osborne is out recruiting now, which will be a big help. Mainly due to NCAA rules that the interim HC can make visits, which allows follow up visits by the new HC, which should be starting next week.

Turner may have been a step backward, but with the talent level that he has in Buffalo, his teams will never be a top tier school. Given NU's level, I still think that with the current personnel, we can win 8-10 games next year with someone built to lead. Our failures this year were mainly due to poor leadership on and off the field. With a steady (read firm) hand, I think that things will be better next year.
