Thats amusing..you're the figurehead of a college football team and you're known to rant and rave on the sidelines, you're also known to blow your top over the years. I guess you just assume you wont be in the public eye anymore once you've decided to act like a man. Get the heck outta here with that lamesauce. Bo may be more angry than other coaches, but I assure you, they speak like sailors when out of the cameras.

I can't imagine a coach wants to come here when he thinks "Hey, maybe someone I trust will record me in an inopportune situation and release it when I lose a game!"

We are all now dumber for reading this last post. These are just issues for this coaching staff, a staff that actually tries to recruit during the season will be able to do much better. The rest of those excuses are at every other major school, your defeatist "I’m scared of change" attitude is why we are stuck with this POS in the first place. Tell me, who is going to want to come here? Huh? We are not the program we once were, we are not a top choice, especially with all the other schools with even more resources and better recruiting opportunities that are going to be needing coaches soon. If we fire this guy in midseason over this, we are going to see things go south fast.

Who else would have that kind of access at that moment? It has to be someone of the media... There are lots of people in the room. Sound guys, technicians, AD staff, you name it. If it was a member of the press, that person needs to be fired. Now. Agreed. Whatever benefit this has is more than outweighed by the tremendous cost it will burden this program with.

Why does every Nebraska fan think every coach that isn't Bo Pelini is as bad as Bill Callahan? Because change is a scary thing, man.

I, for one, welcome our new Callahan-like coach.

Ugh...we didn't need this. We really didn't need this.

This. This.

If we actually act on this, we shall see Nebraska enter an unreal nightmare of crap football. Who will want to come here? The rabidness of the fan base, the expectations, the difficulty of recruiting.

Okay, let's say we fire him. Who replaces him midseason? I'm sure that would be a great pick up!

And it's not like Deadspin is some paragon of honest journalism either.

Which means he was right on the money. Screw any fan that left during that game.

I like the part how no one released this until 2 years later, that's pretty neat.

Meh, he was pissed that people were leaving. We hired him to win games, not tell us how wonderful we are. This is a non-issue.

Exactly. We know the matter isn't physical, this team has talent, loads of it. This is a classic case of a team that is in its own head. As a hockey fan, I'd compare them to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs these past couple years. They look great in the games that don't matter in the reg. season because they just play naturally. But in the playoffs, it intensifies, and suddenly, in the big moments, they fall apart. They lose games at record margins. 8-2, 7-3, when in the playoffs you'd expect more 2-1 and 3-2 games. And it's interesting because like Nebraska, they are known to be loaded with talent, and their coach is very hesitant to make adjustments. Incredibly similar teams.

That's just because the nation sees Tommie Frazier and thinks he must know everything about the situation at hand, when, frankly, he doesn't any more than you or I. No. It's because after another terrible performance by Bo's team, with his job now in serious jeopardy, he dismissed one of the most beloved players in the history of the program for venting his frustrations. He should have given a more political answer. Tommie has a right to complain. The product on the field has been pathetic. Tommie does have a right to complain. But he should've not been so damn hotheaded with it, that doesn't help matters, it just makes them worse.

I think a more natural Bo would be a better coaching Bo. A lot of these play calls, they just over-think. The team over-thinks, the coaches over-think, and that's when mess-ups happen. At some point, you just need to play. In the first quarter, that's exactly what Nebraska was doing: They were just playing football like they knew, and it looked good. But when UCLA reared its head just once near the end of the half, the doubts crept in. The fears. People think these guys don't care about getting blownout. I argue the opposite. I think they worry about it so damn much that when things start to go wrong, they just kinda freeze up and lose all their instincts.

That's just because the nation sees Tommie Frazier and thinks he must know everything about the situation at hand, when, frankly, he doesn't any more than you or I.

well, it can be distracting and inane. The media rarely contributes anything to programs other than distractions and inanity, which is why it is the enemy. But they are also irrelevant to the real problems of this team.

9-4 and 10-4 is markedly better than 5-7 and 6-6. I'm sorry, but that's a truth. I'm not saying this is acceptable stuff, I'm saying that's gonna buy you more time than the performances during the Callahan years.

The media is the eternal enemy.

Agree - Bo is reverting back to knee jerk reaction. I don't blame him one bit after all the crap he probably had flung his way by boosters, fans, and media over the weekend. I'd be defensive too. That's kind of my feeling too. I think we're stuck in this mindset that every Husker coach has to be like TO, when in reality, TO was the anomaly in that sense. Coaches tend to be fiery people by nature.

Bo has a far better chance to get out of it, however. Callahan immediately fell into 5-7 and 6-6 mediocrity. Pelini has time, but the sooner he makes the changes the better.

I think if Frazier had tweeted something like this to begin with this isn't an issue at all then. Pelini does need some help.
