If people have unrealistic expectations, blame Pederson. He fired a 10-3 coaching staff because we were “gravitating to mediocrity.” Pederson made it clear that anything less than conference (not just the North Division) and national championships weren’t good enough.
Being a Nebraska fan for over 40 years I know how long it took us to win national championships between the 70s and 90s. Back then, with a few exceptions, Nebraska fans stuck together and supported our coaches. I really think Pederson has created unrealistic expectations among fans when he fired Solich after only one year with his new staff and a 10-3 season. You reap what you sow.(wow, that quote makes me sound real old!)
