Bo is being strongly considered for the LSU DC job. If he leaves, he wants assurances that Carl becomes head coach as I've said all along. We'll see what happens.
-
Maybe he can take D'Alesio as his right-hand-man since he is so qualified! All joking aside, I hope the QB recruit doesn't de-commit.
-
If he wants to stay as per his contract, fine. If he wants to leave for whatever reason, fine as well. No way should he be allowed to dictate who follows him as coach, especially if its his brother.
-
So he wants to leave for another job but is he threatening to stay if we do not make his brother the next head coach?????????

agree
-
I would say INTERIM but nothing more and that's a stretch considering his history. Can you imagine having 1 coach with recruiting experience and in-game coaching knowledge?
And total BS telling a state institution they have to commit to 3 years and $250,000 (likely contract) a year cause he wants his brother to have a job.
-
Three years ago right after the championship run, this would have been perceived as a disaster. Now, if this transpires, I expect that the reaction from the community will be a collective yawn.
-
Carl wouldn't be the worst choice
-
According to Dana Balash, he texted Bo Pelini if there was any truth to this report, and Pelini responded with a one word text "no"
-
Highly unlikely that Pelini is going anywhere. Carl won't get the job here, and Bo Pelini knows his brother will struggle to get a meaningful job anywhere else, so Bo likely to stay.
What has Carl done to show anyone he deserves this job? Losing record at Florida Atlantic, I believe 6-17, and he was involved in a scandal. Even with a huge local donor pushing for him, he couldn't get the head coaching job at lowly Bowling Green.
The Pelini era at YSU has underachieved, and Carl has been part of the problem for 4 of the 5 years.

Carl wouldn't be the worst choice
He wouldn’t be a good choice though. We need an up and comer that understands how to relate to today’s players. Coaching has passed the Pelinis by imo. They certainly understand the x and o part but all of bos comments make it sound like he doesnt know how to communicate with this generation. Also need someone the players want to play for. Tress was beloved by his teams but I think YSU players don’t like Bo all that much.
I’d be a fan of someone from d2 who can bring a winning culture, sort of like the MBB hire with Calhoun. MBB isn’t where it needs to be yet but it’s trending the right way.
-
I actually would not have hired Carl, but since we have already done it, he is a very good coach. IMO, better that his brother. That being said I would not object to YSU saying "no" to Carl either.
-
Both Pelini brothers are better D-Coordinators than they are head coaches honestly
-
Don't see Bo leaving right now until his daughter graduates high school. She's a junior.
-
He isn’t going anywhere! Just a bunch of smoke no fire.
-
I've now heard thru some people that Bo may in fact be leaving. Announcement could be soon.
-
Wow, I find this surprising. But, I trust you chief, you have been really accurate with information provided previously.
-
I heard he had been on vacation so what changed chief?
-
LSU really trying to give him a great deal. Lots of money. Not a done deal yet tho.
-
Please. Just. Go.
-
Last DC there made 2.5 million per year..Bo's contract would be equal or greater to that
-
In his fifth season, with his own players, Pelini went 2-6 in the league, including losses to garbage like Southern Illinois, South Dakota, and Indiana State. Kindly explain to me why anybody would care if he departed?
-
Who cares? Go. Stay. Eh.
And...he doesn't get to dictate who gets the job next. Going 45-30 or whatever isn't good enough to have that kind of influence. One fluky playoff run simply isn't enough. This dude is Heacock with a bigger name.

Are they really his players if he doesn't recruit? Are they D'Alesio's players? ;)
-
Chief I am hearing the same. I also heard Marlowe resigned, going to work for family business. And if it happens, announcement coming today that Pelini to LSU. Also hearing Carl not getting the job, that he can apply.
I hope he goes, we need a fresh start.
-
Marlowe will be head coach at Mooney next year.

Reports: LSU to bring back ex-defensive coordinator Pelini
'Bo' Pelini was the defensive coordinator when the Tigers won a national title under Les Miles in 2007.

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU's new defensive coordinator has been in this spot before.
'Bo' Pelini will be offered the job replacing Dave Aranda as the defensive coordinator of the national champs at a salary of about $2 million per year, Tweeted Ross Dellenger, a college football insider for Sports Illustrated.
Pelini served as defensive coordinator for the Tigers from 2005-07, the last year which saw the Tigers win a national title with a victory over Ohio State in New Orleans.
Pelini then went on to the head coaching position at Nebraska, where he served for seven years, compiling a 67-27 record and never recording fewer than nine wins.
Pelini has served the past five seasons as the head coach at Youngstown State.

Siniora Sucker ;D
My boss a LSU alum told me this on the 22nd. :angel:
When Baylor hired LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, the search was on to replace the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football. Youngstown State head coach Bo Pelini is expected to become the next defensive coordinator for head coach Ed Orgeron, sources told Geaux247 on Monday. Stadium's Brett McMurphy was first to report.
Pelini agreeing to terms with the program marks a return to Baton Rouge for the 52-year old, who served as defensive coordinator for LSU's 2007 National Championship team. Pelini first arrived at LSU in 2005 following a one-year stint as Oklahoma's defensive coordinator and helped lead LSU to a 34-6 record during that time.
Earlier this month, Orgeron joined 104.5 ESPN Baton Rouge to discuss the process with Jordy Culotta and T-Bob Hebert. Orgeron was looking for a fit culturally with his program, which is fresh off an undefeated season and National Championship, and Pelini is a name familiar to LSU after the program saw some of its best defenses when Pelini was running the show.

Did anybody at LSU bother to check into what kind of defenses Pelini put on the field here at YSU in the last three seasons? Apparently not.

YSU sports website announced that he has resigned:
Bo Pelini has resigned his position as Head Football Coach at Youngstown State to become the Defensive Coordinator for College Football Playoff Champion LSU, Coach Pelini, LSU and the YSU Athletics Department announced on Monday.
Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo said a national search will begin immediately.
Pelini, a native of Youngstown and graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School, took over the YSU program in December 2014. In his five seasons with the Penguins, Pelini posted a 33-28 record as the head coach. He has a career mark of 100-55 which includes seven full seasons at Nebraska.
Pelini's YSU tenure was highlighted by an appearance in the 2017 FCS National Championship Game. The Penguins entered the playoffs unseeded before reeling off four straight wins to reach the title game. YSU defeated Samford and Wofford at home and upset No. 3 seed Jacksonville State and No. 2 seed Eastern Washington on the road. YSU lost in the National Championship Game to James Madison. The Penguins posted a 12-4 record in 2016 while appearing in the national title game for the first time since 1999.
Following the season, YSU had two selections in the NFL Draft – Derek Rivers (New England Patriots) and Avery Moss (New York Giants). The program had not had a draft pick since 1998.
Pelini picked up his 100th career head coaching victory on Nov. 23 in the Penguins' 21-3 win over Illinois State at Stambaugh Stadium.
Statements from Coach Bo Pelini
"The past five years have been terrific. I can't thank President Jim Tressel and Ron Strollo enough for the opportunity here and support along the way. For all of the people, honestly too many to name, who were part of my YSU experience, I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you."
"The experience for me professionally to coach my hometown university and to appear in a championship game, is something I will always treasure. For Mary Pat and I, Youngstown will always hold an element of home for us with our children graduating from Cardinal Mooney High School and so many of our family members residing here. My YSU days will always be special for the entire Pelini family."
"And trust me, I will be checking in every week in the fall to follow the Penguins as they continue to build on our successes and I know they have great days ahead."
"The opportunity to return to LSU is truly unique. Culturally, with my prior experience at LSU, I know it is a great fit for me. The chance to work with Coach (Ed) Orgeron, the ability to take charge of the Tigers defense. All of that in a place that both my family and I immensely enjoyed when we were there before is very exciting for us. We are very honored and looking forward to this next chapter."
Statement from Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo
"We'd like to thank Coach Pelini for the passion that he brought on the field and for returning home to lead our program the past five seasons. We wish Bo and his family the best of luck in their future. The Youngstown State football program is very special to this community and we will work tirelessly to find someone to build on what Coach Pelini established here."
-
This no surprise for me. Good luck to Bo and his family at LSU. Now we must find at suitable replacement. I don't know who may be available, but I hope Jim Tressel and the staff can come up with a great replacement for Bo.
-
face it his heart was not in it for YSU. the Mooney connection is over
-
Some folks are just not cut out to be the head coach, maybe DC is his niche.
-
Bo got 3 years, 2.3 million a year from LSU
-
I actually would not have hired Carl, but since we have already done it, he is a very good coach. IMO, better that his brother. That being said I would not object to YSU saying "no" to Carl either.
Boy, what a definite opinion 1AA! Not sure how you could get any more wishy washy.
-
Bo got 3 years, 2.3 million a year from LSU
I hope we were smart enough to have a buyout written into his contract.

I very much doubt it. We stand to lose -0-. The idiots at Nebraska are the guys that did a stupid deal with Pelini, not us!

Yes, I caught that one too. But, I thought Bo might have spent sometime with the Sooners.

He was in OK for 2004 with Bob Stoops, but Simon wasn't referring to that. Joe screwed up, is all, no harm done, but he should know!
