LSU wouldn't have won the national championship this year if not for Bo Pelini

If Bo Pelini hadn't passed on Joe Burrow six years ago at Nebraska, he would have gone there and may have never ended up at LSU. No Joe, no championship. Thank you Bo!

I had one offer after my junior year of high school, and it was my dad’s team. I wanted to go to Nebraska. They told me I wasn’t good enough. Ohio State was really my only big-time offer. … I remember all of the recruiter’s names that told me ‘no.’

Maybe Brady would have coached up Brennan.

That is why Bo is such a good DC, not OC.

And what about when Frost passed on him two years ago?

One of the many dominoes that led to Joe coming to LSU. Pelini decision not to offer him was the first domino.

I thought Pelini was fired in November. It’s possible Mike Riley could have extended a late offer when he was hired in early December.

Regardless, thanks to him and Frost.

I’m underwhelmed at the thought of Pelini but in O we trust.

I know that all of these guys passed on him, but I don't know if he becomes the player he now is without that lighting a fire under him. He's not the same player they passed on. That's for sure.
