Pretty classy move.
In a related matter, Pelini's in a good situation with Osborne watching his back (much the same as when Devaney was watching Osborne's back). Bo gets way too riled up, but there's no question that beyond the rough edges, the guy knows how to coach. Osborne realizes that and provides him a comfort cushion.
The only reason I bring this up--and don't get me wrong, I think Maturi has done a good job given the entirety of the athletic program--is that the situation in Minnesota is different. I've got nothing against Brewster and laud his energy, but it would have been difficult to bring in a guy like Pelini, who is rough around the edges, without an AD who could provide him with the "virtual padded cell" to work out things both internally and externally.
Of course, it's ALL about the Huskers in Nebraska and we don't have the same situation here.
Anyway, back to the original intent of this thread. Nice move by Nicks. Great to see a positive story about an athlete.
