THE BIG RED KETTLE IS BOILING OVER
OK, I know I said that Bo Pelini had to be the leading candidate for the Nebraska head coaching job. Now, as it turns out, he hasn’t even interviewed and doesn’t know if he ever will. Neither has the only other known candidate, Huskers offensive coordinator Turner Gill.
I’m not yet going to refer to the NU coaching search as an ethnically-stereotyped safety exercise. The only thing I can figure is that Steve Pederson’s ideal candidate is still coaching somewhere else. Be that the NFL or elsewhere in college football, I don’t know. But whomever The Guy turns out to be, for one reason or another, he’s otherwise engaged at the moment.
Meanwhile, I’m calling it right now: Neither Pelini nor Gill will be the next Husker coach. That much seems to be totally flippin’ obvious.

I’m sorry, but every time you say “Husker coach,” my mid-80s punk mind adds the word Dü, as in Hüsker Dü, so that it reads: “Neither Pelini nor Gill will be the next Hüsker Dü coach.” And I ask myself, “why would Hüsker Dü need a coach, anyway?”
Of course, there is a tangential connection, as I’m sure frank solich could definitely use some “Black Sheets of Rain” era Bob Mould to listen to right now, or perhaps some “59 Times the Pain” from New Day Rising.
