From the Husker Chatrooms
Gill is the Head Coach, under a 5-year contract. This is while Osborne is still Athletic Director. Pelini is on as Defensive Coordinator, while being groomed by both Osborne and Gill to become head coach. Apparently, he has had trouble with recruiting and other aspects of becoming a head coach. Osborne hopes that this "in-between" phase will greatly help Pelini's tactics. After 5 years, Gill takes over as Athletic Director, and Pelini becomes Head Coach.
Shawn Watson will likely be retained as Offensive Coordinator under Gill, and is expected to make a shift toward the spread-option style of offense.
Scott Frost will become a key part of the staff. He is going to come on as coach of the Linebackers and as In-State Recruiting Director under Gill. The walk-on program is set to become a key part of the program under this staff.
There is talk of Grant Wistrom coming back, but not until he has had more experience coaching. Pelini really likes him, so there is a possibility of him coming on as Defensive Line coach under Pelini.
Osborne feels that this approach will get Nebraska back to national prominence in the shortest amount of time. He really likes both Gill and Pelini, and is looking forward to announce his new plan to the public next week.
