  1. Ummmm.... it IS the coaching staff's fault we're in this situation. This team has talent, that can't be denied. So why aren't they producing on the field? The coaches, obviously. There is something wrong with this program that is leading to this horrible performance on the field.

     

    I have yet to see one single bit of compelling evidence that anyone OTHER THAN the coaches are to blame for this horrendous season. If anyone has some, I'd love to see it.

     

    Here's the risk I see in a lot of posts and theories about the current state of NU.

     

    Most posters / fans are convinced that the players have talent -- where is the proof in this? Strong recruiting class rankings? Rivals 100 and their kind are not measured objectively for any sort of accuracy -- they are in the (big) business of selling and providing information that is subjective at best. Has anyone ever seen an objective analysis of the top 25 recruiting classes and correlations to wins, BCS bowls and NCs? I have not.

     

    Is "the players have talent" true because the radio play by play guys says so?

     

    My point is that while the coaching staff can take blame, it might also be true that the current roster of players is not as good as some would believe. And the risk comes in turning over an entire coaching staff only to see marginal results again. Say Pellini does come to town, brings his own staff and then NU proceeds to go 7-5 or so and finishes 2nd in the North next year, then what? This is entirely possible (i.e how many thought NU would be 4-4 right now) and could lead folks to re-think their belief in the current talent level at NU. That said, it is much easier to run coaches out of town and boo them than direct frustration toward 19 to 22 year old kids who are just playing a game.

     

    All I'm saying; is their compelling evidence that these players are really all that good?

     

    Well, if they aren't that good, then our 'coach' shouldn't have recruited them. Or he should have taken the talent they have and cultivated it, taught them.

     

    I think the players have talent, and our coaches don't know what to do with it.

     

    Some inept people get to high positions, and the only way they stay there is to surround themselves with talented people to hide their own failings.

     

    This is what BC does, he gets talented HS and JUCOs that he thinks have the fundamentals, then hopes he can get by with teaching them a complicated scheme.

     

    Doesn't work, this method always starts to unravel after a period of time, as it is now.

  2. UPDATE AS OF 11 pm 14 Oct 07:

     

    - There is no movement with anyone. There are money people who want to fire Pederson but his contract is getting in the way. He's head will fall - but the question is when. They want to replace him with an interm AD that will make a decision on the future on the Head Coach.

     

    - No Press Conference tomorrow and might not be one for a while.

     

    - Coaches are not going to resign because of their deals.

     

    ***That's all I know for tonight.....

    So much for hope. <_<

     

    :hellloooo

    Get enough money, the contract is no longer in the way.... see http://members.cox.net/huskers_against_pederson/

  3. "It's important to understand that no one - no one - wants to win more than I do ,'' Callahan said Tuesday before taking questions at his weekly news conference. "It's really important to understand that we as a staff, as a program, as a team, hate to lose. It's important to know that it destroys us emotionally to go through what we did the last week.''

     

     

    That is crap, I can tell you that all Husker Players and fans want a win more than he does.

     

    He gets paid whether he wins or not. And just ask SP, BC "meets or exceeds all expectations..."

     

     

    FIRE STEVE PEDERSON

  4. As I have been saying NU might not have enough money to payoff BC contract but they should have plaenty to get rid of the guys that hired him.

    There is a grassroots CALL TO ACTION for Husker fans, so UNL can afford it!

     

    http://members.cox.net/huskers_against_pederson/

     

    We can make it affordable and make sure Pederson can't infect another school with his virus.

     

    Pederson and Callahan doen't realize that many businesses in NE rely on Husker stuff sales.

     

    Watching BC on his coaches show really shows that he does not understand Husker football. 4 years into the job and still wears a brown jacket and tie. NO HUSKER COLORS or EMBLEMS.

  5. We all want new coaches, but need to get rid of Steve!

     

    Why do you think no one from the NCAA wanted the job 4 years ago. No one wants to work for our AD. Had to find a lack-luster coach from the NFL.

  6. [Where do you think this $$$ is seriously going to go? There is better ways to go about this. Being an Alum, if Perlman wrote me and asked if I would contribute $5 and told me where it was going, I'd send it and then some.

     

    I think it is going to go for a buy-out. If people really reply, a student, a postman, someone will tip off the media and the cat is out of the bag.

     

    Email is to easy to delete. Snail mail to the Chancellor is not easy to get rid of.

     

    Now, we can all sit here and whine, or we can do something about it.

     

    I choose the later, and am not going to sound like the coaching staff and give 'excuses' as to why it won't work. WE NEED CHANGE, and THE FANS HAVE TO TAKE ACTION!!

  7. Damn, just wish I was a billionaire booster to make it happen.

     

    Don't need to be, we have the largest fan base in the world.

     

    We CAN speak as a billionaire - imagine what a couple million fans can say:

     

    Just look at http://members.cox.net/huskers_against_pederson/ and forward this to EVERY FAN you know.

     

    Lets get this grass-roots protest off-the ground.

     

    Just imaging the media coverage if even 100,000 fans responded. Perlman's desk covered!
