Deadspin just dropped a bomb - "fu fans"

[BaytownHusker]

So none of you guys are going to watch a husker game or go to another game while he is coaching. lol yea right.

[True2tRA]

Blown out of proportion! Ha! We have a current record sellout streak that probably won't ever be touched! We sign that fu#*$ paycheck and he says f#*k you fans! Ha!

[Count 'Bility]

This was recorded just under 2 years ago. Remember that. Not yesterday. 2 years ago. Remember the circumstances surrounding that game? Dirk ripping Martinez and so on and so on.

 

What's the intentions in releasing this now? Why not after NW 2011? Michigan 2011? After losses last year?

 

Not saying it's not disturbing, but the timing is a bit odd.

[presidentjlh]

Which means he was right on the money. Screw any fan that left during that game.

[HuskerLuke]

I'm pretty certain of two things:

 

1. This audio was released by someone with an agenda, and the timing is not a coincidence.

 

2. Everyone vents. I've said some pretty awful things about people close to me in private before, Bo is an emotional guy, so the fact that he went off on NU's fans (after a pretty pathetic showing by said fans) is not surprising.

[robsker]

Context is everything... his comment about the fans was after hearing they left at halftime before NU came back against Ohio St.

 

Context is, of course, meaningful. That said, there is no context whereby any adult in a position of leadership should function that way. No context justifies that.

[billdozer15]

Seriously - who's the turd in the punch bowl who released this just now? This tape exists for nearly two years - but it's released now.

Agreed, but unfortunately this is the world we live in and someone who knows politics is likely behind it. Bo is no politician and in this day in age you need to be one as a head coach.

[Red is Power]

Guys, this kind of attitude is unacceptable. Obviously we know the problem. It's Bo. His attitude reflects on the players. Their performance is a direct reflection of their head coach. This recording is huge and could cost him his job. Anything said or done in recent memory can cost you your job. How should this be any different? F#ck the fans? No, we pay you. The boosters probably won't be happy about this either.

[Paul in WI]

We do have a stadium full of fair weather fans.

 

The hell we do.

 

 

We do and half of them post on here.. Just saying.

 

 

If we did, that stadium would be half-empty and we wouldn't have a sellout record. Christ.....think before you post.

[presidentjlh]

And it's not like Deadspin is some paragon of honest journalism either.

Bingo.

I would say his performances of the last 5 losses is what should cost him his job. This is just the straw.

[Savage Husker]

Right or wrong, this will do more harm to the program than to Pelini.

[presidentjlh]

Okay, let's say we fire him. Who replaces him midseason? I'm sure that would be a great pick up!

[Dan_F_31]

Bo might be Carl's defensive coordinator next season.....
