  1. Honest question: Mike Riley, underrated amongst the new hires? 2-2 vs Harbaugh w/a lesser OSU program (didn't have Luck nor the OL of Stanford, inferior resources, players) and gave Pete Caroll some TOUGH games vs loaded USC teams, including a win.

      What Harbaugh has already done is completely united a huge fan base, rocked a basketball halftime show, and has Harbaugh throwback jerseys flying off the shelves.

  2. Aside from what Bo said and how he said it, I have some serious concerns about Eichhorst. I always thought he was spineless and the type of boss we all cant respect, but what Bo said cements that. Bo just had to get one last parting shot, but he did make solid points.

      The issues with SE go back to when he was hired, and how Perlman went about it....not what was said in that, or any, meeting.

  3. This is why Suh said there were more problems than the HC, which they clearly do. HP and SE are tools; but No might've been the biggest in the room and certainly built a culture of negatitivity.

  4. Sh#t just hit the fan, boys... Gonna be lots of heat on Eichorst now, unfortunately. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of people who are actually close to the program (players, asst coaches, etc).

      Yep...there's bigger issues than any Pelini audio.

  5. Bo Pelini: At YSU, I have a president that understands football. That's something I don't know I ever had.

      Pelini has ended up just fine. Works for the coach most seemed to be pining for and gets paid by Nebraska to do it. Probably time for Husker fans to worry whether Mike Riley can win a trophy with his 0-14 background of doing so at his previous stop.

  6. At what point in time did Oregon State become a more desirable destination than Wisconsin? What the hell is happening?

      Looks like someone thinks winning in Corvallis is very possible.

  7. Eichorst's coaching search = 100 hours, lands a Power Five coach from another school. Michigan's search = eight days and counting, no news in sight.

      Eichorst's search started when Perlman hired him.

  8. If you didn't know who Mike Riley is I'm putting you in the "I follow Nebraska football, but I don't really follow college football" camp.

      Rumor at work is any Nebraska AD not named Osborne prefers candidates with AFC West experience on their resume.

  9. Some of these rumors were just ridiculous. How would it be even possible for SE to offer Bielema & others & still find a 2nd or 3rd choice in 4 days. @HenryCordes: Quoting Harvey Perlman: ''No other coach was offered the job. There is absolutely no truth to any rumor or speculation to the contrary." I can already hear the "he's lying" crowd.

  10. Fun tweet I just saw. Bo flying to Columbia to meet with Spurrier. I. Would. Pay. Money.

    1. TheSker

      TheSker

      I didn't think they would fire a coach with his winning percentage. Obviously I was incorrect. Pelini has contacts and cash....he'll be fine. I'm a Husker and ready to see happen what Pelini couldn't get done.

      That would be the hope obviously. The trophy case will bear the ultimate answer to that.

  13. Ron Kellogg tweeted out - Tressel has toured Memorial Stadium 12 times, he even shook his hand. He thinks he's the man who will come to coach.

      Minimum expectation is the B1G championship game in 2015, right? Absolute minimum?

  14. Without talking about our future coach, he has a tone/handling about him that makes you believe he has a guy all but hired and is happy with it.

  15. If I had TO as my boss, I would've asked him for the blue print on how to be successful at Nebraska. I would've applied every tangible aspect to my football team. Bo had the greatest resource of them all and squandered it.

  16. Sad day. My hometown lost the Kansas 4A DII State Championship game.

  17. Honest question. Anyone know when KU is looking to decide their HC? I think we would let Beck have the opportunity to be hired by them before we terminate him...if we plan on it.

    1. TheSker

      TheSker

      Beck is one of 4. KU decision expected by week of Dec 8.

      Beck is looking to leave....interview with Kansas next week.

  19. A bit of foreshadowing? Sharp and Benning had a "What if Bo resigns" segment on today. Makes me wonder if those guys know something....

    1. TheSker

      TheSker

      At least 3 of the 4 candidates have previously coached on the Kansas staff at some point, including Bowen who also played there. Beck and Warriner were both previously there.

      KU coaching search reportedly down to 4, with Beck being one of the 4....though Bowen is making a good case to have the interim tag removed.

  21. On a scale between 10 (the end of Prohibition) and 1 (Minnesota Husker's ALL CAPS attempts at humor), what will be the HB response if by this time next week, BP is unemployed?

  22. Here's a thought for the small subset of fans who stubbornly claim we can't fire a winning coach, no one will come here, etc.: Urban Meyer is 34-3 since he took over at Ohio State in 2012. He has yet to lose a regular season conferencce game. He already has a BCS appearance and an undefeated sanctioned year. OSU and Nebraska are very similar prestige and tradition-wise. Why can't NU have the same success?

      Urb wasn't and wouldn't be interested. He's a recruiting hotbed kind of guy.

      Might be best to ask Urb that question. He is a coach who can choose his job. And he made one of the more well known comments about Nebraska's job in 2003.

  24. Nebraska fans want to fire a Head Coach that dominated Florida Atlantic, Fresno St., Illinois, and Rutgers. Y'all are crazy. Dem some good ass foose ball teams.

  25. just read Tom and Dirk's columns...even they turned on him...saying it's time for Pelini to go...I just don't see how Pelini can stay for another season.
