WeAreNorthDakota Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 My guess is it was related to his comments he made, not the posting of the list itself. Again, he's just trying to generate page clicks for himself. How often does he actually comment on UND athletics? Quite often on his Twitter account actually. I find him a very good follow for his comments on college sports in the region. Quote
jdub27 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Quite often on his Twitter account actually. I find him a very good follow for his comments on college sports in the region. While I only follow him occasionally, it seems when he does comment, they seem made more to rile up one fan base or another. Or maybe I just happen to catch his comments at the wrong time? Quote

UND92,96 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say today's debacle on senior day in Lincoln may be the last straw for Pelini at Nebraska. I still feel like the Nebraska situation could impact a lot of things regarding the coaching situations at UND and NDSU. Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say today's debacle on senior day in Lincoln may be the last straw for Pelini at Nebraska. That guy has a massive buyout if NU wants to get rid of him. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say today's debacle on senior day in Lincoln may be the last straw for Pelini at Nebraska. He's gone. Barney Cotton should get a call from Faison within 24 hours of Pelini getting let go. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 That guy has a massive buyout if NU wants to get rid of him. I don't foresee that being much of a deterrent to firing him. There will be alums with deep pockets who will pony up to get rid of him. Even the ABC/ESPN guys are saying how he's said and done all the wrong things. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 He's gone. Barney Cotton should get a call from Faison within 24 hours of Pelini getting let go. He meets pretty much every criteria from the job announcement, AND Faison knows him from their days at New Mexico St. At 57, I don't know how much longer he plans to coach, but I agree he'll likely be getting a call from Faison if he hasn't already. http://en.wikipedia....i/Barney_Cotton Quote
southpaw Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say today's debacle on senior day in Lincoln may be the last straw for Pelini at Nebraska. I still feel like the Nebraska situation could impact a lot of things regarding the coaching situations at UND and NDSU. Studio guys on CBS were talking about possible replacements for him and no bald-headed coaches living in Fargo were mentioned. Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Studio guys on CBS were talking about possible replacements for him and no bald-headed coaches living in Fargo were mentioned. Bohl would probably give them the most bang for the buck. Pelini was making a little under $3 million/year. They could get Bohl for far less with similar or better results. But whether his past there precludes his consideration is the question? EDIT: Upon further review, the playing careers of Bohl and Cotton at Nebraska actually overlapped for a couple of years. In the event Bohl were to be hired, I suppose there's a decent chance Cotton might be retained? Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 One applicant who hasn't been mentioned much is Rob Ianello, the current wr coach at Kansas. Ianello is most notable for the fact that he was fired a couple of years ago as head coach at Akron by phone, on his way to his mother's funeral. Quote
Cratter Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Watching the NU game today it sure seemed like the AD told Pelini you lose this game your gone...a stupid fake punt and interesting comments at halftime. Quote
Wilbur Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 IMHO.....Craig Bohl is at least interviewed. Is Nebraska willing to wait until January to interview him though? Quote
jdub27 Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 He's also done the only real reporting on a potential candidate for our open head coach position. He was the first to put out the list but the Herald has been requesting the list as well. Tweets from Tom Miller indicated that Marshall's application hadn't been submitted when they had got their list the day before McFeely put his out. Wayne Nelson just put out an article from the Herald as with a few additional names on it and some additional commentary. A couple of the interesting new names include: -Michael Kelly, former head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL. -Robert Ianello, wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator at University of Kansas of the Big 12. He was also the interim head coach at Notre Dame in 2009. Quote
Cratter Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 You would think the Herald would have put the list out by now or at least before a fargo radio station. You'd think the Herald would be smart enough to think people would be very interested in who applied as soon as they applied. Now it just looks like the Herald just copied the names from the KFGO site. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Now it just looks like the Herald just copied the names from the KFGO site. What was their other option? Ask some NDSU players to provide a longer list? Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 i hope faison has already "hired" our new coach and that coach is currently unofficially out there recruiting somewhere.... Quote
shep Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 I think Bohl would be considered, but IIRC he was let go by Osborne after some alum/admin pressure. Not sure how many of them are still there. Quote
jdub27 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Get the list themselves first duh The Herald's list has 5-6 additional names. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 I think Bohl would be considered, but IIRC he was let go by Osborne after some alum/admin pressure. Not sure how many of them are still there. don't think Osbourne was there when Bohl was. Quote
zonadub Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 If Cotton is not promoted to head coach at Nebraska, it sure appears that he should be given the opportunity to become the head coach somewhere. UND would be a good place for him to get that opportunity. Quote
shep Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 don't think Osbourne was there when Bohl was. My bad, You're right in that it was Solich at the end when Bohl was let go. Osborne was there for Bohls first couple of years. Quote
choyt3 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Don't assume Osborne wasn't still involved with the program at that time. Even as a state Senator, he was involved. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Hearing two coaches have kept their jobs. Faison has a plan. Quote
