Pelini interested in Minnesota

Bo Pelini apparently has not been contacted by Minnesota yet, but said he would be interested.

I've always considered U of M my second favorite football team, but over the years its not been much more than a passive interest as they have pretty much sucked, but I would definitely pay more attention if Pelini was coaching them.

The time is probably right for Pelini to get a head coaching job. Syracuse passed over him for Greg Robinson (still trying to figure that one out) and Michigan State passed on him for the Cincinnati guy (D'Antoni?). He's been a heck of a DC ever since he got into the college game and has done a good job recruiting. Things sure could get more interesting around Minneapolis with a decent football program.

This adds to the list of names I've heard mentioned so far, those being Larry Coker, Frank Solich, Mike Tice, Marc Trestman and now Bo Pelini.

These coaching searches are kind of fun...
