Connections and Whatnot
Rivals has a story about how Pelini became associated with Nebraska.
Long story short, in 2k3 Frank Solich went to Monte Kiffin who went to Pete Carroll who recommended Bo Pelini.
You could call it the old boy network. Solich and Kiffin go way back, Carroll was Kiffin's protege and in turn Carroll was Pelini's mentor.
Quote Carroll...
Well, we know what we're getting as far as a defensive coordinator goes. The question is how will he do as a head coach. Guess we'll see this fall.

Quote Carroll...
He's got a great sense for what's happening, and he's a very bright, tough guy. He's a really demanding coach that's innovative. He's really got all the right stuff and he's a great competitor, and that comes through in his style of coaching.
