Bo visits with Nebraska officials in Atlanta on Sunday

Are you going to start another "hot" coaches thread and put my name on it? Oh, and you can add Gary Pinkel to the list (he looked hot on Saturday night--could he be an LSU candidate?) Also, I forgot Derek Dooley.

 

Post of the Year?

 

Am I understanding this correctly ? Bo Pellini met with Nebraska officials on Sunday and Skip didn't know about it either from Bo, Miles or Nebraska ? Did Miles know ? I'm sure mums the word now on this issue from the coaches.

 

Miles said Bo's been by his side since Friday preparing for the SECCG... but he couldn't account for the time slots that the plane from Nebraska was sitting on the tar mat in Atlanta... :hihi:

 

When I posted this thread, it was my understanding that Bo went to ATL. Perhaps I misunderstood. Can a mod please drop "in Atlanta" from my thread title? I can't edit that part.....

And we know Coach wouldn't lie to the press about Bo's whereabouts. Right?

 

Here is what the Lincoln paper says about what happened draw your own conclusions:

"Bo Pelini has interviewed, and Turner Gill appears set to be interviewed by Nebraska officials, who Sunday flew to Baton Rouge, La., and apparently on to Atlanta to conduct their search for a head football coach.

The private airplane, carrying interim athletic director Tom Osborne and UNL chancellor Harvey Perlman, arrived in Baton Rouge shortly after 3 p.m. Two sources told the Journal Star that Pelini, Louisiana State’s defensive coordinator, was interviewed there.

The airplane, owned by Norfolk Iron and Metal, sat on the tarmac at Baton Rouge Metro Airport for nearly 2½ hours before departing for Atlanta at 5:35 p.m. According to flight logs, the airplane arrived at Fulton County Airport-Brown Field in Atlanta at 7:50."

 

It's possible that they stopped in BR to talk with Pelini. Taking an hour out of his day to do that isn't as bad as taking most of the day off to fly to Atlanta.

But I'm not sure why it couldn't wait a week.

 

My only problem with it is that you should at a minimum give your boss and his boss a heads up that you are doing so. If he did interview, according to the Advocate Skip didn't know, maybe Miles knew. At least the WH's plane won't be in BR this Christmas season.

 

Okay...I'm in as well......wate a min............

 

Guys, all Miles said was that Pelini did not go out of town because they had been working together every day. In respnse to a question about Pelini going out of town on a flight. One of his comments right after was that he'd recommend Pelini as a head coach for any school.
