Li'l Bo Pelini gets a raise

The crazy thing is Carl Pelini turned down a $600,000 DC position from Tennessee. I guess he doesn't want to leave for anything less than a head coaching gig . . . maybe? I don't think I'd turn down that kind of money.
 
Found this on Shaggybevo.com.

I don't know if this is official enough for you . . . the Lincoln Journal Star tried to get a direct quote from Carl but he wouldn't talk. It does add a little more information.

Hmmm. Not sure why Carl would turn that down. A NFL DC position on a decent team. I'm not sure how good the Titans D is, but I'm really curious why Carl would turn that opportunity down. I'm sure his aspiration is to become a HC. The Pelini boys are Buckeyes correct?
 
The DC position was with the University of Tennessee, not the Titans.

And yes, you are correct. I believe they both attended tOSU. Bo did for sure . . . I think Carl did as well.
 
My bad. I thought it was the Titans.

I think Carl made the right choice to stay in Lincoln. Things are looking up for the fuskers. More so than the Vols imo.
Maybe so . . . but the extra $300,000 would have to be tempting. Kudos to him, I guess, for realizing it's not all about money.
 
. . . so I understand. Talk about dating WAYYYY outside of his league. She's not a supermodel by any means . . . but she probably looks like one next to Carl.

I knew the Huskers were rockstars in kNebraska. This just confirms it. :lol:

Just further illustrates that CU is going to have a commitment at some point to pay coaches big money if we want to get back to winning consistently.

BTW, no can convince me Shawn Watson is worth 380K a year.

He's worth 380K a year or more in my book, conditioned on the terms of employment being somewher other than CU....:lol:
 
If hot Carl is half the coach his brother is, then it's money well spent. Bo is one hell of a coach.
I think he probably is a really good coach as well. I hope his temper doesn't get him in hot water, though. I think/hope he will mature a little bit without losing his passion.

Your'e 100% right - 4 years ago we had a chance to get him, but we got sucked in by a song and dance from Talkins. Oh no Pelini is to rough around the edges, not a good face man, doesn't have the media savy.
