Saunders Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Statement from Chancellor Perlman, Director of Athletics Eichorst Released on 09/18/2013, at 11:54 AM Office of University Communications University of Nebraska–Lincoln Lincoln, Neb., September 18th, 2013 — University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst issued the following joint statement today: “The comments made by Head Football Coach Bo Pelini in 2011, published Monday, are unfortunate and deeply concerning to us, as they would be to anyone who loves this university. Our coaches, staff and student-athletes must be held to a high standard and Coach Pelini's remarks were unfair to the legions of Nebraska fans and not what we expect from a representative of this university. Former Director of Athletics Tom Osborne became aware of these comments and the existence of a recording more than a year ago, and addressed the matter with Coach Pelini. We have observed, and many others have commented, that Coach Pelini’s demeanor has significantly improved since the time of this incident. Coach Pelini has given us his assurance that he understands the seriousness and inappropriateness of his comments. We believe he is sincere in his apology and in his regret. We are prepared to put the matter to rest. Our football student-athletes, coaches and staff deserve all of our support and we know the Nebraska faithful will be there for them.” http://newsroom.unl....letics+Eichorst 1 Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Does this statement put to rest the issue or do anti-Bo boosters put pressure on Harvey to make changes in spite of this statement? The end of the season will be the real end of the story - told by the W-L and any lingering affects of Bo's words. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 This is good. Firing a coach mid-season would be a mistake, IMO. Quote Link to comment
