1. This is Bo Pelini. The first tape was Bo Pelini. Every snippy interview, every blow up on a player/ref/coach is Bo Pelini. Anyone who says different is a liar. You can say he is just "passionate" all you want, but in reality he is just jerk. A jerk who has no problem blaming others, including the players he cares so much for apparently, in order to save his own skin. 2. If you noticed during the year, Bo saw the writing on the wall. He tried to blame the administration and it appears some took the bait. This blame game had been in the works for some time, hence suh's tweet on the matter and other examples out there that were said even before the firing. Bo is a good manipulater, I will give him that. 3. Saying all the guys loved him is false. His starters are the only ones that have gone to bat for him. If one of the players recorded this and released the tape, then that sums it up right there. I can't help but remember seeing Imani Cross grinning ear to ear after he met Riley. Sure he is a naturally happy guy, but you could see the excitement in him. This makes me believe that a lot of backups probably feel they finally have a shot of showing what they can do. I really don't think Pelini gave them that opportunity. I think you will find a lot of guys feel they weren't given a chance to succeed. 4. Pelini has blamed everything else, but himself. Refs, fans, players, assistant coaches, fans expectations, recruiting to Nebraska, and eventually the administration. If you buy what Pelini is selling, the only thing I can say is I have some snake oil for sale if you are interested.
