Saunders Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The extension was needed but it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. I'd guess that if HP is still here at the end of next season without announcing his retirement Bo is gone unless something changes. If he comes up 8-5 he'll be shown the door. If he runs 10-2 he'll move on to a different gig. I know he wants to be at NU but neither he nor Miles were part of HP's plans going into last fall and these seasons were suppose to be deal breakers for both of them. One had help from outside influences to stay and the other one put together a dream season. Let's just hope that the regents come to their senses and force Harv to retire before he screws us more than he already has. I guess history is bound to repeat itself, #2004-2007. You do know other scenarios exist where a football coach is replaced and the search isn't completely bungled, yes? There tons of evidence supporting this fact at universities everywhere. It isn't like Nebraska is going to rehire Steve Pederson to spearhead the firing of about and searching for his replacement. Completely true. However, lets play devil's advocate. How many schools have fired a coach winning .700 or better, and had an immediate upgrade? Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Other scenarios do exist where a successful coaching search is carried out. There are just few examples of this being done when a 9 win coach is shown the door......as has been discussed a time or ten. Quote Link to comment

Or even been ok with it? Or is the number 9 that talismanic? Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If Pelini had a losing season, or even a .500 season as Solich did, I don't know that much noise would be made about replacing him. As we know from 100 previous discussions, there are few examples of winning coaches being shown the door. I understand there are posters who believe we could have a better coach at Nebraska. The decision makers seem to disagree. Quote Link to comment

I find it funny that the #9whiners complain out of one side of their mouth that Bo has let this program slide into the depths of hell and into national irrelevance, yet out of the other side of their mouths they insist that we could can Bo and have enough national cache to hire the next coming of Nick Saban. #Irony 1 Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Also funny is when the Callahan tenure is not referred to as a train wreck, but Pelini's has been referred to as a dumpster fire. #irony2 Quote Link to comment

The decision makers seem to disagree. Not what I asked. But I'm guessing even if Bo had lost to Georgia, you'd want him here. Which means you don't care about a 9 win benchmark. I don't either, and I'm betting a place like NU could throw enough $ around where really good football coaches wouldn't either. 1 Quote Link to comment

There's gonna be a fire if you two keep flinging all this straw around. Safety first you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Direct answer. Yes, I would be in favor of keeping Pelini had we lost to Georgia and been 8-5. Sound like you need to have a meeting with Eichorst, the prominent booster firmly entrenched in Pelini's corner and the BOR.......because this talk of throwing all this money around isn't happening for whatever reason. Best of luck getting that meeting. Quote Link to comment

Something that this university wasn't exactly known for for several decades. 1 Quote Link to comment

Spooky Tooth Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ain't worth my talismatic time to restate the mitigating circumstances of the 2013 season, mostly because its been done here ad nauseum. What's more ad nauseum are the agenda carriers who circle like harpies to crap on Pelini at every turn. Now with all the talismatic nauseum around here I think I'll have a Guinness. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just get the hell out of the AD. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I guess history is bound to repeat itself, #2004-2007. ain't that the truth. 2008 season: gator bowl victory, 9-4 record. 2013 season: gator bowl victory, 9-4 record. 1 Quote Link to comment
