In a 4pm press conference today (Sunday), Interim Athletic Director Tom Osborne introduced Bo Pelini as the next head coach of of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Pelini discussed that his emphasis will be tradition and to make sure that everyone that has contributed to Husker football in the past knows they are part of the family.  He also talked about the importance of getting recuriting started.  He will be foregoing the a potential national championship game at LSU to move to Lincoln and get to work.

When asked if there was any animosity about not getting the job when Bill Callahan was hired. Pelini said no.  "If there was any animosity I wouldn't be here right now".

Pelini does have assistant coaches in mind and mentioned that he would be talking with some of the current assistant coaches but would only say that his choices would work themselves out in the next few days.

Pelini does expect to be involved heavily in the defense.  He expects to call the defense within the foreseeable future.  He feels that the offense has been moving the ball and doesn't expect any drastic changes but time will tell.

Pelini said that he would not be standing there today as the new head coach at Nebraska if it was not for Frank Solich and the chance that he was given to get back into college football.
