Pelini is not a great recruiter and Nebraska is not exactly overflowing with talent. He is familiar with LSU and if he hired a couple of good recruiters, LSU will recruit itself. All he has to do is coach like he does and LSU will have 10 wins every year from here on out.

Nebraska gets a decent share of talent. As long as they're developing it right, they'll be fine. Even moving into the "western division" of the Big 10, they have a upper hand on the competition, just as they've had in the Big 12 North.

Actually, the last time we won 10 games (11), Pelini was on staff. Now, he is doing it again. Haven't had any real success since he left.

That may be true, but he had a prior history with Nebraska. Plus, with them moving to the Big 10, he's back to his roots.

How the hell is that relavent to the comparison of LSU and Nebraska?

Nebraska is a traditional power. But, can they continue to compete at an elite level talent wise? That is my point. Personally, I think that Nebraska has seen its better days. That is why I made the Yale reference. They were once a power, but are so no longer.

Pelini could very well stay at Nebraska. He was at LSU longer than he was at Nebraska and he won a national championship with us. As time goes on, his role in coaching that team gets larger and larger, especially with his success at Nebraska. If he chooses to stay, more power to him. But, I was asked who I wanted and his name is high on my list. I don't think its ridiculous that a top coach with LSU ties would return to Baton Rouge.

For that matter, you could add the following to the list:

Will Muschamp
Derek Dooley
Jimbo Fisher (staying at FSU, no doubt)
