Game 3 "Expert" Picks: UCLA vs. Nebraska

[Count 'Bility]

Didn't we go down this type of road in 2003? I'm confident we learned enough that Pelini's job is in no jeopardy......nor should it be. And linking Pelini's salary to the recent yardage given up is short sighted. Talk about rolling the dice on another coach if you like, but remember we just did that in 2004 and it turned out to be perhaps the worst mistake in the modern era of Nebraska football.

 

This defeatist attitude is what is wrong with the NU fanbase. Just because Peterson screwed up and fired Frank a year early (with the lack of talent that 2004 team had, Frank would have ruined the bowl streak just has he broke every other streak we had other than the KU winning streak) and then had to pick his 5th choice as HC doesn't mean it will be the same the second time around? Would you rather have Tom pick a third coach that fails because they have no experience as a head coach? That really worked out both times.

 

Bo is two blowouts from either getting a pick slip or an ultimatum that this sh#t stops next year or he's out. At least Bo is lucky that this schedule is so easy that he only faces three teams (UCLA, NW, and Mechicken) that can blow us out. Unless he wins the division, then Ohio State is another chance of getting taken behind the woodshed.

This statement in bold right here is the biggest lack of perspective and common sense ever. The players in 2004 were brought in for Frank's system. Another year under the belt under Bo's defense. The defense in '04 was actually rather experienced. A qb that was meant for Frank, not Bill. You have to look at this situation with some common sense that had Frank been allowed to day with the staff in tact, doesnt necessarily mean the team wouldve been just as bad. The reset button would not have been hit. Let's say Frank coaches that Alamo Bowl and wins. Look at the momentum he woulda had into the offseason. Kansas St had taken over the North, but, they went to sh#t in '04. And Colorado was also already on the way back down. We'll never know, but to say Frank wouldve done just as bad is ludicrous.
