I disagree. Remember a previous assistant and his supposed liaisons? There is a significant contingent of the "boosters of substance" group who wants Pelini gone.
Personally, I'm torn. If he made massive changes to the staff maybe. But I'm not so sure the discipline/focus/inconsistency issues DON'T come from Bo. I love his fire, he does run a clean program and we have achieved some level of success, albeit not the level Nebraskan's expect.
As far as to the prediction, I think the decision has been made, and he's gone. Here are the tea leaves I'm reading:
1. Jack Stark said Bo, AD and Chancellor are not on the same page.
2. AD won't make a statement supporting Bo (look at FL where the AD HAS made such a statement)
3. Mik'l Severe made a comment on BRO he was told the athletic department has reached out to 2 coaches to gauge interest.
4. Pelini made a comment in his presser today about Gregory being a problem against HIS competition (or something to that effect.
5. Sipple's article today.
6. Comments from assistants - like Beck stating something to the effect this place will eat you up.
7. Attendance at the game on Saturday wasn't great, barely 90,000. For a big game, tickets were easy and cheap to be had. I bought mine below face, around 80 minutes before kickoff.
Ultimately the decision won't be made by Pearlman or Eichorst. It will or has been made by those donors who will cut checks large enough to cover the buyout.
