knapplc Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's the end of the regular season and it's time to finish up our poll series. I had originally said I'd run this poll four times, but of course I wasn't thinking about logistics when I said that and clearly they're not going to fire Bo after the bowl game. They'll either do it now, within the next week, or they won't do it at all this year. Here's the link to the first poll from July. Here's the link to the second poll from late September, after the non-con schedule ended. Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Stick a fork in him. He's done. His performance in the post-game was his way of saying goodbye. Edit: It is never a good idea to taunt your bosses to fire you--especially on television. By doing that, he's basically backed them into a corner and forced their hand. Link to comment

Think this is end times stuff? Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I like bo, i like how hes brought the program back up from where calahan tore it down. I like how his players have his back and how they seem to stand behind him no matter what. I hate how his side line manners have given the program a bad name. I hate how his teams seem to lack strong fundamentals. I hate how his teams seem to get pushed around in this league. And i hate how he seems to be as awkward at talking to the press as martinez is sometimes. If its his time to go its his time to go and we have no say in that. Link to comment
Husker NoNo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I really feel that is not a good move to fire Bo. It is true that there are many things he needs to work on...but he did make progress this year in my opinion. That said, I think the ship has sailed and he will be fired. Too bad. Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 What say you, knapp? Think this is end times stuff? I think he's gone. That performance yesterday wasn't the behavior of a man who thinks he's saying, or even wants to stay. Even if he wanted to stay, he clearly doesn't understand how the head coach of Nebraska should comport himself. Link to comment
TheSker Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 What is happening is more of a Nebraska problem than a Pelini problem. There are about 7 million reasons why Pelini isn't concerned. There are plenty of reasons for concern about Nebraska football. Link to comment

That performance yesterday wasn't the behavior of a man who thinks he's saying, or even wants to stay. Even if he wanted to stay, he clearly doesn't understand how the head coach of Nebraska should comport himself. It seems not. That presser put a bleak spin on that leaked Ohio State audio. Couldn't have scripted a performance better suited to the narrative. Truth be told I find this whole thing a little surreal. I was fairly sure Pelini was going to get another year even a couple of weeks ago. I didn't think Pelini would self-immolate, as someone else put it. Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 He's been our Johnny Ringo all this time. It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear. 4 Link to comment

There are plenty of reasons for concern about Nebraska football. the negative publicity Bo has brought to Nebraska could be something that could hurt his standing with those 7 million reasons. i believe they are probably trying to negotiate away about 5 or 6 million of those reasons.

Comish Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 One of the reasons I expect him to be gone is that he has virtually NO visible active supporters either locally or nationally. Case in point. Last night on ESPN, (who normally deems us unworthy of even a mention when discussing college football), LED OFF with Bo's presser and then proceeded to rail about how every story concerning Bo negatively reflects on the University..........conveniently ignoring how they are contributing to it). Of course, no mention of the myriad of injuries that have contributed to our debacles on this season. (While they continue to fawn and cover the Florida injury situation as if it impacts the implementation of Obamacare). The Bo story even preceded the tale of Arkansas going winless in the vaunted SEC for the first time in decades. Just when does a losing coaches presser trump an SEC record? When they can trash Nebraska/Bo, that's when. The fact is that Bo has such a reputation that he is NOT going to get a call; we are NOT going to get positive spin on ESPN or like-minded spouters; and it translates into a need for a fresh start (regardless of whether warranted by record or behavior or not).
