I’m confused at the Pelini hate. Is he my first choice? No.

Nebraska hasn’t done shite since he left and we had top 5 defenses every year he was here.

You can argue about the game changing and him being washed up but the game has changed a ton and guys like Saban, Pruitt, Smart, Venables, etc are all still coaching at high levels on defense.

Hell Pelini was a CO-DC with Venables at Ou in freaking 2003 and Venables is far from washed up. Just because a guy is experienced doesn’t mean they can’t adapt.

He adapted very well after the Tennessee and Arizona State games in '05, unlike some of our previous DC's.

Pelini's defenses were ranked #3 all three years he was here. In 2008 it fell to #37. When Pelini was at Nebraska as Interim, his defense was #3. The next year after Pelini was let go by Bill Callahan, Nebraska's defense fell to #61. He maybe a crappy HC, but he's an outstanding DC.
