Seems like there are a number of schools that should take a look at Pelini. The list will grow as the dominoes fall. I do not think Pelini will be unemployed long.

I doubt Florida would go that direction and I don't think ISU is going to have the $ draw. I think our biggest problem is recruiting. The numbers don't lie.

Weiss was making $2.5 million at Kansas. Paul Rhoads is making close to $2 million at Iowa State. That's a lot more than Pelini would make in any defensive coordinator position.
I agree - I don't think Florida would look at Pelini - but I think Pelini would be an easier sell to the fanbase than McElwain will be.
They're in for a rude awakening if they think they're going to hire Brett Bielema. Although I have to admit that his coaching style is better suited to the BiG than the SEC.

I don't want Bielema
BB's buyout isn't that onerous, but Arky can match NU $ for $ quite easily, as odd as that may seem. It really depends on how tight BB is with Eichorst, sounds like to me. I hope BB stays put, I kind of like Arky, my pops went there so I watch them a fair amount. I like what BB is doing.
You do understand we aren't talking eating disorders, right?

No question that some schools will start talking Pelini right now, yes he could get a BCS level job.
That said it probably wouldn't be the BCS level job he wants. Does he want to be in the MAC like Solich did, does he want to go to the coaches graveyard in Lawrence?
My thought is that he could get a very high paying job as a coordinator someplace, take a year or two to evaluate his coaching job at kNU and shine up his interview presentation, and then come back into the market looking at jobs with teams that have a chance to compete at the top levels.
He doesn't need the money, he can afford to wait until the right opportunity comes up. I don't think that would be this year.

This is the dumbest rumor ever. Bielema left the Big 10 for a reason. WTF would he go back?
Frost would need to bring in some very good coordinators. My guess is he would, or he could go the Embree route and just hire his friends.

We aren't getting him. Balls to **** it's Frost. Slight chance for Narduzzi or Mullen.
The priority for nebraska should be to get coaches at all levels that truly understand the culture of nebraska football. Time to right the ship by guys that were on those mid 90's teams for sure!
Even after huskers Mark and Surveyor assured us he would succeed because of his nebraska roots.

Don't forget Richie.
Mo Purify for receivers coach (and recruiting)!
Peter can be D coordinator, and Phillips can run the O
and bring back Carl Pelini to be the AD relationship director with bosters
First time the beer cart girl came around, I would have opened a tab and told him he could have anything he wanted - just to get him flowing.
Who are the other 9?

I think he means for programs who think they are all time top 10. Did anybody hear Herbstreit talk about Nebraska when Colin Cowherd brought it up? Frost isn't going to NU-They know they can't sell him. Everybody who posts on this board would look good calling plays at Oregon. Wouldn't be suprised if Al Golden's name pops up here, too-I think Shawn Eichorst was the AD who hired him at Miami.
Nebraska is easily an all-time Top 10.
That was a big thing that made the rivalry so special. CU was measuring itself against a super elite.
With that said, I don't think that "Super Elite" is their current reality and it may never be again. Devaney and Osborne had about a 30 year run that was ridiculous (9-3 was literally the worst record they ever delivered for 3 decades). There is so much working against Nebraska these days when everyone is on tv and everyone has state-of-the-art training facilities.
