Carl Pelini to FAU

According to ESPN, Carl Pelini has agreed to become FAU's new head coach.  This, of course, leave a vacancy at Defensive coordinator at Nebraska.  The name that seems at the top of the list is Mike Stoops, who is apparently good friends with Bo Pelini.  This could create an interesting bidding war between Nebraska and OSU.

FAU was THE worst offensive

FAU was THE worst offensive team in the nation this year.  You'd think they would want to hire a more offensive-minded coach.

To quote a wise man-

Well, their offense is almost certainly going to get better.  A coordinator would be just as good as a coach in that regard.

Also, I'd be reluctant, if I were a good offensive guy, to be the head coach at a school with a rock bottom offense.  If they don't have talent, you're gonna look bad no matter what.

No way NU wins a bidding war

against OSU. And isn't Stoops an Ohio guy?

Maybe Bo will be his own DC, not uncommon for the HC to take on one of the coordinator roles

They'll hire someone though

Neb will hire someone to make the max # of coaches, for recruiting and everything else. I don't doubt that Bo might call the defensive plays though.

Being the DC would cut into his "raging at the QB" time.  So I don't see that happening.

I wonder if there is really

I wonder if there is really any stock to the "home team" theory?  I ask this, because Bob, Mike, and Mark Stoops all were born in Ohio, yes, but all 3 also played college ball at Iowa.

I would hope that if a kid commited to a university, that he truly be committed, considering all the time and effort on the field and in the classroom.

Otherwise logic says, we have Denard coaching at Florida or FSU because hes a "Florida guy" or Lewan going to Ariz or ASU because he's an "Arizona guy."  Dogs and cats living together...MASS HYSTERIA!!

It can be a curse.  The

It can be a curse.  The University administration can convince itself that a success local born coach will never leave.  Because he has roots in the area and this is his home.  Then they refuse to give him more money for assistant pay and facilities, so he leaves WVU and comes to Michigan.  It all depends on the lens through which your roots are viewed.  Sometimes people think they have you by the balls and neglect your needs.  Sometimes they celebrate your homecoming.  It can be a curse or a blessing.
