Nebraska is a much better job. He'd be foolish to leave in my opinion.

Unless he's facing heat for the tirade act he pulled at TAMU.

Me too. It'll set Nebby back a year or two. Good way to start their journey in the Big 10.

That could very well be, and there are worst places to end up then Miami. Both schools have unrealistically high expectations, but at least at Nebraska you have a larger, more loyal fan base.

I'd say (5-3) 9-3 with him, probably 8-4 or 7-5 without. Brutal conference schedule for them next year.

With Pelina...9-3/8-4
Without...who knows, it'll depend on who they get to replace him. Tops would probably be 6-6 though.

I'm curious as to why you think Nebraska is a better job?
I don't see it. Nebby has better facilities but that is about it.

Nebraska has much better facilities, better fan base, more tradition, more money, they're in a better conference.
Miami is in a great recruiting area but that's about it. They have an off campus stadium which is about 20 miles from their campus, this is a huge negative for their program. They have a very fickle, bandwagon fan base as evidenced by having less than 30,000 fans at their last game of the season. Their facilities aren't even in the same ball park as the college football elite and you have to deal with fans who expect nothing less than a national title at least once every five years or so.
I agree with everything you said, but there is always the beach I also heard someone mention that Bo is an Ohio State guy. JT won't be at tOSU forever, so if Bo eventually wanted to coach there, it would be easier to move from Miami than from another in-conference school. Its fun to think about, but I think he would be crazy to leave Nebraska.

Yeah that and I also just heard Ferentz to Wisconsin in a trade for Bielema.

Miami's tradition is on par with Nebraska and could certainly net Pelini a raise. Pelini makes 2.1 Mil. Nebraska isn't going to pay him 3.
There are certainly more fans in Nebraska but that doesn't really help you win championships as much as being in a weaker conference like the ACC. As far as spoiled delusional fans, Miami has NOTHING on Nebraska.

Money helps a lot. A small, private school with small alumni base can't come close to matching Nebraska's money. This is reflected in Nebraska's superior facilities. The off campus stadium is a big handicap for Miami. I think a lot of people think Miami is a much better job than it really is. I don't see them ever getting back to how they were in the late 80's, early 90's. There are three more D-1 Florida schools to recruit against now, as well as more SEC teams targeting Florida harder than ever.

I agree that Miami will never be what it was but Nebraska is pretty stingy.
Miami already offered over 3 mil to Gruden.
