Yea.....so Bo actually did talk to Miami

[Jack_John_Mark]

What a confusing deal this all was.........according to the Miami Sun Sentinel Bo has talked to Hocutt, and Hocutt has confirmed that Bo "is in the mix" but no one has been offered yet

Have a great weekend everyone

University of Miami coaching search: Hurricanes AD Hocutt has spoken with Nebraska's Bo Pelini, but no offer has been made - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

 

[iruletheskool]

He told them no...

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

He told them no...

LMAO.........he is reported to be "in the mix."

He hasn't been offered yet even for a chance to tell them no.

why talk in the first place?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

why talk in the first place?

That's my point.........there is no way in hell that Miami's AD asked Bo a bunch of questions and then Bo ended the conversation with "no."

We haven't heard the end of this story yet.

 

[iruletheskool]

He's not leaving.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Like I said before, my concern isn't that he would leave...........I really seriously think when it's all said and done he will weigh it all out and there just won't be enough pros vs the amount of cons in this deal to make the move.

My concern is that he is even looking at all at any opportunities.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

But let's not shit ourselves, Miami wants Bo.......he's the perfect fit for what they are wanting to move towards down there.

The reason I say we haven't heard the end of this story is because I think eventually we will hear that Bo turned them down......I think they will offer him.

 

[iruletheskool]

The REAL story is already over..

He's not leaving.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Because you say so?

I don't think he's leaving either, but who the shit has said he isn't leaving??? Nobody has. The story is still in the development stages as we speak.

When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what you or I want.......it matters only what two people want......... Hocutt and Pelini

 

[iruletheskool]

I'm sure a coach that is really looking at other jobs is in some 18 year old kids' house telling them that he won't go anywhere, when in reality he is going to bolt right away.

That would help build up his credibility for him at his new program as well..

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Right, so he should stop recruiting at Nebraska if he has any interest in leaving??

Like Huskers_1_2010 and I have both pointed out.........why would he even talk to them in the first place?? Is he practicing for some day down the road when he wants to talk to a school??

 

[iruletheskool]

we don't even know how much he talked to anyone..

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

we don't even know how much he talked to anyone..

True, all I'm going off of is what Hocutt said.......and I quote........"Bo Pelini is in the mix, but nobody has been offered yet."

Must have been a serious talk if he is in the mix.

 

[huskers1217]

that would be fucked up if bo was recruiting for UM on our tab...LOL.

I just think if BO would have flat out told him no then his name would be with those other 2 that aren't in contention.

Exactly.

Nobody just talks for the hell of it.........and then ends up a top candidate for the job by accident.

If Bo told him no then he wouldn't have talked in the first place.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I don't want everyone to take me the wrong way though..........I'm not worried. I do think Bo is perfect for the job and very well could get offered..........but I'm 99.9% sure he would turn it down.

 

[vtpoop]

Maybe he's just trying to leverage himself for a hefty raise at Nebraska's expense?

That wouldn't be a very smart way to ask Tom for a raise.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I am now somewhat concerned about Tom Osborne saying Bo did not talk to him to get permission, because that is a breach of his contract as Brian Christopherson of the Journal Star has pointed out

I am guessing he did talk to TO after TO originally made that statement though.......or I'm hoping anyways.
