DaveH, sources are often refered as "anonymous", b/c their story is based on this condition. not saying i know they were legit, jus saying it is possible for an anon source to exist. and the outcome was way too similar. rc

Yea, it is possible, I just think it's BS I just don't like the idea of an anonymous

source.

I agree that Pedersen has made his bed and now he must lie in it. He will get his

if this doesn't pan out to much.

You are so right. I think they seek these people out just so they seem smarter.  So did you catch the clip?  Thanks for the support by the way, the more people that know about the board, the better the chances are for quality discussions and learning new info.

I am going to hopefully catch it at 10.

From my experience, publicity does bring more people to the boards. Every once in a while a sharp person comes along, but sadly it seems that the retards come out in droves.

But that's why people like you are here

I can't wait to hear all the inane opinions on football in general. I don't know where they

find these people sometimes! Usually a couple will know what's going on and have

a good grasp of NU football, the others don't.

If anyone gets on the news from this site a plug IS required!

Yea, there is no way Spurrier would be brought in. He is the anti-NU!!! Any consideration of him is only a way to get people to react to such a rediculous idea.

To early to really say, but as far as an internal solution I would go with Pelini. He is

a no nonsense, straight to the point motivated and confident coach.

Also, I think Husker fans are going to have to realize that after 40 years, it might

be time to go outside the program!

The post above is mine, I forgot to log in! DOH!

I would also like to add that firing someone in the public spotlight is hard. The

rumors that were started certainly did not help the situation and I think it was handled

the best way considering the situation.

I think Pederson is a liar!  The leaked story had to originate from him, yet he still denies talking about it with anyone but the chancellor?  I am unhappy that Frank is gone but I am more concerned about what appears to be a classless, sneaky liar of an AD.  The way this was handled was a disgrace to the program, Steve Pederson should be the person removed - I don't care how much we win or lose in the next couple of years he clearly does not have the integrity or class necessary to be the Husker AD.

 

In my mind this absolves the journalstar; they did their job and reported on what they knew to be the truth.  The leak had to originate from the AD yet he denies it.  Solich may have ended certain streaks but it appears the AD is stripping the program of its most important traditions, class and integrity.

BS.

As a journalist, how can you site an anonymous source? Why don't you just say

"...a little birdie told me..."? Why not? Because then even the gullible people would

get suspicious.

One theory I have on how one could come up with a story like this is that he

did do what the Star said at Pittsburgh when he was there. He gave the head

coach another job while hiring a new head coach. Substitute some names and

there you have it, a "story". That's not to far of a stretch in my mind.

He has some raw talent that has shown in his limited time this year. Now the trick is

to develop that talent and grow into a master of the NU offense. Speaking of

the offense, Cotton seems to want to take a more balanced approach which I think

is welcome. For a long time we could run on anyone we want. I don't think that is so

anymore. If we had a top-notch offensive line like we had in the mid-90's, then yes

we could run run run!

I think Dailey could be a good fit for the offense.

I expect some big things from Cory in the future.

I wonder what was so convincing?

Yea, I would like to know too.

I am afraid what this news could do to the recruiting class.

That's absolutely rediculous. I couldn't believe it when I heard that. I guess

Kansas fans are really douchebags.

*Also. Heard that Gill is probably gone too.  What a mess.

I don't see this as being all bad. I don't know why he couldn't transform Lord into

a better quarterback over the five years he was there. Most if not all the of QB's of

recent years had so much natural talent, coaching wasn't difficult. Lord has

physical running ability, but I would have expected a better passer, at least

mechanically, after five years of good coaching.

As for the rest of the situation.....

I didn't think Solich should should be fired when I heard the rumors start to circulate.

I would have given him through 2005 to get a large group over very good players

to the university. I guess Pederson saw that as wasted time.

He had to say something with all the controversy swirling due to the Journal Star's

article, which was absolutely horrible and goes to show the level of journalism that

is acceptable in that rinky dink paper. It would be horrible for the team and the

rest of the coaching staff to have that still hanging over their head for the bowl

game. In my eyes, something had to be said because the controversy had simply

gone out of control.

It's hard to say if this will be a good move in the long run but it doesn't help

badmouthing everyone in the administration in the mean time. What's done is done

and if Pederson did make a bad move, he will get his eventually. If not, people will

be praising him. Look for big time rumors to start spreading about Pederson from

the people who are upset about this. In the end, they are no better than the Star.

It is obvious why a lot of people are upset about it. Most people who post on this

board, including me, have never lived through the firing of a head coach an NU.

Change is frightening for anyone, especially when you think the change is for the

worse. The firing of a head coach is something that just doesn't happen around

here. Thus the vehement feedback by some.

Honestly, I was satisfied with the performance this year and was looking forward

to what the team will look like next year. Now it's kind of up in the air again. Although

I would have thought that six years under Solich would have shown better

recruiting classes by now. Don't get me wrong, we have some excellent players on

the team. But none at the level of people like Tommie Frazier or Eric Crouch.

Husker fans have been pissing me off more lately than any member of the

administration. Everyone thinks they know whats best. They want to win every

game but they don't want to see the "family" broken up. I guarantee this will be all

forgotten if a new coach can come in and go undefeated. These types of fans

make me want to vomit.

GO HUSKERS!
