  1. Hard not to read into: "I have a lot of respect for the process that's going on. Shawn has a process that he goes through, I have total respect for that"

     

    There is absolutely no way that people can say nothing is going on behind the scenes. Doesn't mean he'll be fired, or he'll be retained, but it's quite obvious that a serious evaluation is into his job is being conducted.

    Shouldn't that be the case every season at every program?

    An evaluation of whether or not we should retain the coach? My guess is Alabama spends about 3 seconds on that each season, and Tom spent about 5 seconds on it Bo's previous 5 seasons. And it certainly wasn't going on during the season. The fact that it's taking more than 5 minutes of the ADs time is concerning. The fact it actually has a "process" leads relevance to the fact that it's not black and white, he hasn't performed to the level of ensuring his retention. This isn't some performance review in February he's discussing.

    Ok, I see what you're saying. I meant that the football program including the coaches should be seriously evaluated every season.

     

    And while I think Bo has shown promise and feel that we're going backwards by firing him, I also think the decision has already been made and Bo will be out in a week or so.

  2. This is awesome. Is this the most embarrassing loss in the Pelini era? Not by margin, but foe?

     

    Iowa State.

     

    Iowa State was turnovers. Minn just lined up and kick our ass. And continued the tradition of jet sweeps for the win. I'm glad we lost this game if it means Bo is gone next year. Michigan is going to embarrass us. Might as well just forfeit that one.

    Oh I thought the dead period was September Through December.

  4. At halftime, Nebraska trailing 42-10, I went into my room, and sh*t started flying, my wallet (busted my credit card in my wallet), my shoes, just about anything I could get my hand on.

    See, I didn't do anything remotely psychotic as that at any point. It is just a game after all.

     

    I can calmly and rationally acknowledge that what happened last night is unacceptable at a program like this. I find it more and more difficult to justify by pointing out our squeakers over mediocre and flat out bad teams.

     

    The Dude, you need more childish ponies in your post, makes you more respected around here.

     

    Rest of my post is obvioiusly not directed at you. Losing 2 games by a combined 70 points is also what 10 win teams do. Bo is is 1 of 4 coaches to win 9+ games his first 5 seasons. He's HOF material. Don't question this. When we turn the ball over 8 times and lose at home to Iowa State, nothing wrong with that. When we turn the ball over 35 times this season and give the opponents 115 points off turnovers (almost 10 points a game giving to other teams off turnovers), it's what good 10-2 teams do. When you are the most penalized team ever year by a large margin, it's what good teams do (the refs our out to get us, amirite?). The defend Bo-Cult is looking more like the crazies over at Big Red Board that defend Callaclown to the grave. A mediocre coach is a mediocre coach, not sure why admitting that makes you a bad fan. We will never win a big 10 championship with Bo Pelini in charge, and that's a fact. He is not TO, this isn't 1980/1990s, and Nebraska hasn't been relevant in 15 years. If you are OK with that, great, cool. Enjoy winning 9 games against crappy bottom feeder big 10 teams, dropping 1 game we shouldn't, and getting blown out 1 or 2 times a year. Should make for some fun years of never having a real shot at a title.

  5. This whole charade has once again exposed Pelini and what he is, a very over paid, marginally knowledgeable head football coach. In the most simple terms, he is an angry man, with extremely poor people skills, who cannot hire competent coaches and recruit quality players. It is the bottom line. Sad day in Husker football history, very sad!

  6. Eichorst would make the biggst MISTAKE of his young career to fire Bo......... If you all didn't read what TO said about Bo this week... TO said that Bo was comparable to a lot of HOF coaches. How many guys win 9+ games in their first 5 years, make it to their conference championship 3 of the first 5 ? Only in Nebraska would this make people freak out..

     

    There used to be a time, when we measured TO by his 9 win "record".....and when BC didn't get 9, he was public enemy number 1... Bo has gotten to 9 every year. Yes, the losses on primetime, big stage, in embarassing fashion suck big time... and it will need to be addressed, but not at the expense of a guy who has won over 70% of his games for goodness sake...

     

    Back to my "original" statement....If a new AD fires and coach (at a football school), then he BETTER make sure the guy HE brings in makes everyone happy. I am trying to find a way that a NEW guy can win more than 70% of his games and do more than Bo.... We all know that if an AD hires a guy, and the guy doesn't do well...not only is the coach fired, MORE TIMES THAN NOT, the AD goes with him.

     

    Eichorst could be very safe and keep a coach with 70% winning percentage, and buy a year or two safely. If he pulls a trigger, he better make sure his guy is a home run, or he will be searching for a job again very soon.

     

    The last time we fired a guy for winning 9 games worked out really well for the new AD, new coach and the entire program, didn't it?

     

    This 9+ win stat is getting old. Nebraska plays 4 gimmie wins every season to start, then played in a weak Big 12 North and a Weak Big 10. How many times has a Bo coached team been flat out embarrassed. We gave up 70 points to a 7-5 team, we were embarrassed by Ohio State, we were embarrassed by Michigan last year, South Caroline. Good 9+ wins teams don't get taken to the wood shed every year. Our 9+ wins have been the result of playing a weak schedule, not being a dominate team.

     

    Believe me, I have lived through the glory years and have attended the NC games..... I am not "settling" anything, but 9+ is sure a heck of a lot better than under .500 and 6-6 .....which is what Bo took over..... I kind of thought my statement of being embarassed was evident, but I am glad you pointed out the scores....seems like we are on the same page there...

     

    I thought all of our non-conference foes went to a bowl last year (or at least 3of the 4).... Agreed that the Big 10 is weak...no argument there.

     

    Yeah sorry, just lashing out. Backing away form the keyboard, have a good night sir.

  7. "fire 1 of the only 4 coaches in the history of college football to win 9+ games in his first 5 seasons."

     

    Nuff said.

     

    If that is your argument then shouldn't we expect more than getting beat by 40 points by a 7-5 team that was the third best in their division. You would think such a HOF coach such as Bo would prepare our Skers to play better than one of the most embarrassing losses in our program's history.

  9. Maybe we will get lucky and he will take another job somewhere else. Open up the check book and pay a proven head coach. Make them an offer they can't not refuse.

    Osborne was not a proven Head Coach. Solich was not a proven head coach. Bill Callahan was a proven head coach. What proven Head coach would accept any sort of offer after firing a coach with no less than 9 wins/year in 5 years?

     

    This is not the 70/80/90's. This is the year 2012 where Nebraska hasn't been relevant for 15 years. Who have we beaten in the last 5 years that we shouldn't have beaten? How many times have we been embarrassed in the last 5 years. Hell we are a couple plays away from being 5-7 and not 10-2. Money talks and you can pay someone a crap ton of money to come resurrect a top 5 wins program in college football history. I don't want to watch miracle come backs to beat the likes of 5-7 MSU and Northwestern. It's time we stop pretending that we are relevant.
