A private plane owned by Norfolk Iron & Metal has flown from Lincoln to Baton Rouge, and from Baton Rouge to Atlanta Sunday. The Lincoln Journal Star is reporting that University of Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and interim Athletic Director Tom Osborne are on the twin-engine Cessna.

LSU Defensive Coordinator Bo Pelini boarded the plane in Baton Rouge. The eight-seater is scheduled to land at Atlanta's Fulton County airport at 7:52 EST.

Buffalo Head Coach Turner Gill is also set to interview for the Nebraska Job. Buffalo Athletic Director Warde Manuel offered his support for Gill, saying he's worked hard and deserves an opportunity to interview with Osborne.

Reported By: Matt Seigel

Why are they going to Atlanta?

That is where the head hunting firm that Nebraska is using to help them find them a coach is located.

i am in the minority more than likely, as i am fond of CLM. i would like to see a DC who is willing to step it up a few notches. be BP or otherwise, matters not. i just don't see BP doing any more than what he is doing at the present.

Ok, now I know why.

He was contacted Saturday morning by a job search firm, Parker Executive Search out of Atlanta, so we know this is a viable prospect for Nebraska. I would say he is their #1 prospect and one that would sit well with fans and boosters.

Does he have to give permission for assistants?

Bo is not on that plane. My In-laws live a couple of houses down from him and i saw him driving getting out of his car @ around 6:00pm this evening..looked like he just cam from an interview bc he was in a suit and tie. Bo to Nebraska is a real possibility but he is not on that plane headed to Atlanta or @ least he wasn't as of 6:00 pm..

According to Nebraska fans I talked to, Turner Gill is the guy that Osborne wants.

I don't know but i saw him going into his house as of 6:00 pm..if he did board a plane it must have been way later bc he was carrying a briefcase and walked into his house..
