Braska has surprisingly struggled since moving to the B10. Really no rationale I can think of as their schedule somehow got even lighter than it was in the old B12 West. I'm not familiar with those old Nebraska teams but I wonder if they had a bunch of players from B12 territory like TX where they simply no longer have available post-move.
Iggle {l Wrote}:Bo Pelini's firing is somewhat surprising. I wonder where he'll land? Doesn't seem like he'd fall back to a coordinator position, plenty of teams would be happy with 9 wins a year.

He never won less than 9 games.
Per Pelini's last contract, NU is on the hook to pay him $7.65 million, owing him $150,000 monthly for the next 51 months, though that total would lessen if he takes another job. All assistants coaches, and football strength coach James Dobson, were on contract until January 2016. They would be owed a total of just over $3.1 million combined. Including Dobson's salary, NU will owe its coaches more than $11 million total.

Looking over their recruiting classes from the past few years, a few possibilities (I looked at guys from states BC recruits, in UAB's case that basically means Georgia and Florida, who have/had other BCS offers):
Kirk Livingstone - 2015 2* DE - Ft. Lauderdale - Indiana, Louisville, Minnesota, Syracuse, Utah, Vandy
Devin Phelps - 2015 0* WR - Baltimore - Maryland and Wake
Justin Brown - 2014 2* OT - Hampton, GA - Auburn, Kentucky, Miss St, Purdue
Collin Lisa - 2014 2* WR - Alpharetta, GA - No BCS offers but listed interest from BC and is a white WR
Nyakki Height - 2012 2* WR - Marietta, GA - Maryland, Purdue
In the case of Livingstone and Phelps it'd simply be a question of reaching out to them, if those other offers are legit in Livingstone's case it definitely may be worth doing so (and with a Vandy offer I assume he'd be able to qualify academically). As for the other 3 who are already on UAB's roster they'd need to go through the transfer process which I believe they could do without sitting out a year since their school is dropping the sport. I have no idea how well they've actually done at UAB, how much eligibility they have, if they could get into BC, etc. In any event it could be worth kicking the tires on Livingstone, Brown, and maybe Height.

Sad, it seems like a grudge between trustees that dont support sports and others. (sounds familiar)

UAB was Miss State's signature OOC win this year.

Kevin Wilson is staying at Indiana.
mod6A {l Wrote}:lots of the gatech people i talk to are conflicted about PJ. how can they get rid of him now? and do they want to? i think they have a TOB-like feeling. ( yes, i know PJ gets to the ACCCG and even wins it).
personally, i think he could go to nebraska, run that offense and destroy most teams. i think he is a ga native though?

tallsy {l Wrote}:I wouldn't hire PJ in the Big10. The one thing Ohio St, Michigan St, Wisky, etc. can do at an elite level is play assignment defense. Maybe RichRod has learned his lesson and would be a good fit at Nebraska.
Todd Monken's getting a 3rd year at USM, which I guess they have to give him. This Mike Gundy coaching tree isn't working out so well, is it?
