ake Bo Pelini @FauxPelini · 2m2 minutes ago PROGRAMMING NOTE: I will offer some advice for Nebraska's next coach (whoever that will be) at 3pm Central today. 0 replies17 retweets38 favorites Reply Retweet17 Favorite38

He quotes something every morning. But the timing of this one is interesting

yesyes

took me an hour to read through this thread but it was all worth it! Hope whoever it is will be announced tomorrow to end all of the speculation.

If were actually willing to spend money like Eichorst said wouldn't be a problem, then why in the hell would we settle for someones leftovers? If you can't win at Georgia then how is he supposed to win at NU? Enough with these leftover, down on their luck guys. I say we steal someone who is at the top of their coaching game, Briles or whoever. Otherwise whats the point? Why not just hire another mediocre coach and save some money?

Can we get a link for this? Would love to share it on facebook

How many of the 1995 starters were from Nebraska? I don't recall, but I seem to remember it being more than 50%. Cilly really quit recruiting Nebraska, and Bo didn't revive it. Nebraska no longer has the recruits to compete in this day and age and with the new spread attack of college football. The only reason there was such a high number of players from Nebraska on his teams is that there was no Title 9 limits on scholarships. But the main reason is that the players that did play were primarily lineman type guys who molded well with TO's smash mouth philosophy. Nebraska high school teams that try to immolate the spread often look silly. The walk-on program is dead

He said nothing about him being in Lincoln today. https://twitter.com/rkellogg3/status/539125300324360192

yes, he can coach this year. it has been mentioned in numerous threads on here. iirc he cant coach the first 4 games and the university has to report to the ncaa every time he goes to the bathroom. okay, the second part might not be true but they will have to make reports to the ncaa more often. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show-cause_penalty thank you

My Allstar Coaching Staff: 1) Jim Tressel HC 2) Frost OC 3) Muschamp DC -Nebraska should not be afraid to spend big money on coaches. But my question is this: Is Jim Tressel even eligible to coach until 2016? Im yet to get a strait answer on this and Im curious.

We completely realize you were being sarcastic, and we also realize you're delusional. Every single national article and conversation that comes out in regards to our program and Pelini is in favor of us parting ways with him. This situation couldn't be any more different than the Solich one, and the national sentiment is shock that we haven't gotten rid of him already. Name one really impressive performance turned in by this team in the last 3 seasons. Florida Atlantic

Miss St. Without a doubt, is the biggest team I've seen all year. They look like they have NFL guys all over the field. Alabama is also pretty good sized, but any lack in talent (if any) Saben makes up for it. Size is no doubt important, but teams like TCU and Oregon have had success with smaller, faster guys over the years. But when it comes to bowl season, it will be interesting to see how the smaller & faster teams deal with the physicality of the SEC teams.

Hey guys, Im new to the board but I have been reading the board regularly for a long time. Just having some late night thoughts about what Ive been pondering about all week. At first I was pretty confused about how the game turned out. The way we came out reminded me of the Big 12 championship vs. Texas. We were playing relentless and without fear until the all too familiar snowball affect we have all grown accustomed to. After seeing the highlights and hearing all the talk I have mixed feelings on what to do with the coaching staff. Part of me wants Bo to go, part of me is scared of another rebuilding process. Hell, part of me wants us to offer Nick Saben a $10 million a year contract to get him here. But I don't know how any average coach could make Nebraska elite quickly. Not with our current dilemma. IMO what is truly wrong with Nebraska goes deeper than coaching (although it is always fair game for criticism). When you look at the teams in the SEC they are noticeably bigger and seemingly faster. Nebraska cannot compete with recruiting, and cannot produce enough walk-ons that are in any way relevant. This is a culture problem within the state of Nebraska. We cannot consistently recruit the athletes that would make a difference from the south and west anymore, and we certainly cannot produce our own athletes. The results of our "culture problem" are shown on the field almost weekly. Its why we are forced to watch a second rate quarterback struggle weakly. Nebraska needs a pass-first quarterback that can also run, not vise versa. In this new age of the spread offense this is a must. Fyfe and Stanton have already used their redshirts for the year, let them play. Each one of them could certainly do just as good. We have not had an NFL caliber receiver since Mo Purify, I can't remember the last time we have effectively used a TE, and next year after that #8 guy leaves we will essentially have no threat in the running game. Guys like Cross and Newby fall into the same category as Armstrong and Taylor Martinez-- guys that lack elite talent. Our lack of talent is constantly exposed to teams that are athletically superior. Say what you will about the coaching staff, but the problem is an obvious one. Nebraska lacks the quality of players that is needed to be a legitimate top 5 football team. Until we can recruit, or get someone who can, we will continue to slide down the rocky slope of irrelevance in college football -- an after thought to the rest of the country. The glory years of the walk-on program are all but over in this state. The states football program is continually left without an identity year after year, the fans are somewhat divided, and more questions than answers in this culture problem.
