Friend of mine from Lincoln sent me this late last night. First I've heard of it. Bama fans, anyone hear anything about this?

It's weird hearing Pelini of Bill King weekly. I wondered what might make an active coach so tied to a radio program.

Should have been a better friend, and at least edited his name out.

He may not appreciate you posting his name on the SEC rant

Meh, it's that time of year that rumors with absolutely no truth behind them start flying.

Hope so. Get him away from our recruiting base. He would take it, I think.

I would be surprised if Kirby took that job. Seems below him.

Might be a good tune-up job before coming back to replace Saban.

Some dude from Facebook also said that the world was going to end on 12/12/12. Apparently his "sources" were also wrong.

Your friend needs better sources. Nebraska is not going to make a play for Jim Tressel. No one is as a HC. He's got another 2 years remaining on his show cause. His next job is likely in administration.

Chris Peterson can - and if he wants to, will - do a lot better than Nebraska.

The only legit name on that list that Nebraska could get would be Kirby, but he has zero ties to the Midwest. His ideal HC coaching job is in the Southeast.

Besides, why in the world would Kirby take the NU job when everyone knows Saban is going to Texas the day after Bama's bowl game and Kirby gets the HC job at Bama?

If he gets the opportunity, he should go.

If there's one thing I've learned on the rant this year, it's the importance of Big Ten championships and Rose Bowl appearances on a coaching resume.

Probably would be a good hire for them, but I see them going for a spread guy next. They are not in fertile recruiting grounds, and it is easier to compete with lesser athletes using a HUNH or spread offense than a traditional pro style offense.

Dude is an idiot. Jim Tressel will coach again but not in that area of the country and Chris Peterson to Nebraska is a lateral move at best!

He gone. I mean why wouldn't Nebraska hire a defensive coordinator with no head coaching experience?
