aubearcat 2,132 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 He was good back in the day. I’m eager to see how he’s adapted his defense for the modern offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,607 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Great hire. He is exactly the kind of crazed lunatic you look for in a DC. Great DC when he was at LSU when they won the Natty in 07. A absolutely criminally underrated Head coach at Nebraska! Never won less than 9 games at Nebraska and won 10 games 3 times.

penguin149 390 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Good! Now maybe the Fighting Penguins can get a coach worth a #%&$!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleCoTiger 1,957 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This is a very strong hire. Strong as battery acid. Pelini, for whatever personal foibles he may have had some years ago at Nebraska, can flat coach. LSU is gonna be stout again on defense even with Aranda gone. I don't know if Pelini is an upgrade at DC but it's hard to call him a downgrade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worthy of Nebraska standards. 4 losses every year, losing bowl record, no championships. Quote Pelini wasn’t necessarily at Gus Malzahn-levels of fans divided, but there was certainly a significant portion of the fan base who deemed that cranking out 9 wins wasn’t good enough at a traditional power like Nebraska. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/lsu-football/what-bo-pelini-return-lsu-means-ed-orgeron-culture-established-2020/ He did have the guts to say what he thought of the Nebraska powers and fans though lol https://deadspin.com/bo-pelini-on-nebraska-fans-****-you-fans-****-all-o-1327398903?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow Pelini even had the guts to say let's see how they do when I'm gone.

They need some serious self awareness. They are not a great program anymore. They are not even a good program anymore. They are a average program. Once you took the ability to recruit nationally away from them? DUNZO! Their recruiting base is crap. The Pelini years is what they will YEARN FOR with how bad it has been since Pelini and will continue to be. You are right. Pelini is not the Nebraska standard. HE WAS ABOVE IT for the modern day standard at Nebraska. Nebraska is trash. They will never come close to being what they used to be. They will be lucky to get bowl eligible going forward. I like Scott Frost. I think he is a good coach. Still do. Even with him going 4-8 and 5-7 in his 2 years at Nebraska. But he is just in a no win situation at a school where it is impossible to consistently get good enough talent to come even CLOSE to meeting the delusional expectations of Nebraska fans. The 90's ain't ever coming back NeBraska!!!! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 10 and 3 in 03. Then they tried to go west coast with Callahan. I think leaving the Big 12 was a really bad move for them and a major player in where they are today. It damaged their recruiting, which like you said is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Frank deserves his credit as well. The 2 they did not appreciate enough in Frank and Bo who they ran off and thought they could do much better than THEY WOULD KILL for those results with how awful they have been lately.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 You know though. Teams ran up some serious points on some of his Nebraska defenses. I think a slight drop off from Aranda for what it is worth. Not a bad hire though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranked 3rd all years in yards and 3/4/17 in points allowed. Given this is the last 2000's so offenses have changed and evolved. Except Gus's! Ha .... beat all of you to it.

You are right about that....however, I think Steele is the better DC of the 2 imho. I guess we will find this out in late November. I just do not see LSU being the team in 2020 that they were in 2019. I think our offense is going to light it up in 2020 with Gus getting out of the way and letting Chad run the show. We could be the LSU in 2020. (that would be awesome for sure!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
