LSU’s Pelini Interviews for Nebraska Job
November 26, 2007 |
Tom Osbourne isn’t wasting any time trying to replace Bill Callahan at Nebraska. Osbourne fired Callahan on Saturday and hopped on a plane and flew to Baton Rouge, LA Sunday to interview LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini.
Pelini is a natural candidate for the job, having served as the Huskers’ defensive coordinator in 2003. At LSU he has been responsible for some truly nasty defenses, and could bring some much-needed toughness back to a Nebraska defense that has been downright putrid and a team that has been incredibly soft overall.
Osbourne is also expected to interview former Nebraska quarterback and current Buffalo head coach Turner Gill. Gill led the Bison to a 5-7 record this year. That may not sound impressive, but remember, it’s Buffalo. Not exactly a football powerhouse. Gill managed a respectable 146.49 in our rankings to place 53rd.
