LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Lincoln Journal Star reports that LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini interviewed for the Nebraska coaching job today.

And a University of Buffalo official says that school's coach, Turner Gill, is going to talk with interim athletic director Tom Osborne soon.

Pelini was defensive coordinator at Nebraska in 2003. The Journal Star, citing an unidentified source, reported that Osborne spoke with Pelini in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this afternoon.

Buffalo spokesman Paul Vecchio (VEK-ee-OH) tells The Associated Press that Osborne has been given permission to speak with Gill. Vecchio says he didn't know when the two would talk.

Gill was the Huskers' star quarterback in the early 1980s and a longtime assistant coach under Osborne and Frank Solich. He left Nebraska in 2004, after Bill Callahan's first season.

No, there’s no time. We must start now if there is any hope of having a decent season next year.

I was a neighbor of Coach Osborne when he was head coach. He will do things right and find the right person. Dr. Osborne has said he wants to hire someone that understands the traditions of Big Red and understands the passion and loyality of the Husker Fans.

That said, I too hope it is Turner Gil. He has given his life to the program and has shown that he understands the game of football as it is played today.
