Consensus Now? (Post Minnesota L)

[alwayshusking]

I doubt anybody bats an eye if we ice Pelini. Most folks nationally can't believe he's still employed by us.

[strigori]

 

This is really the key to dumping Bo. There is fear out there about us dumping a winning coach. We'll get the negative PR at first for dumping a 9 win coach but the bottomline is that Bo has not won any conference championships while here. It is not that difficult to get that message out and get a new face for the program that is more likeable to boot. Bo was hired to win conference championships and that has not happened. If you apply that same standard to programs considered to be college football elite, then it makes a lot of sense why we need new leadership and direction. #ControlTheMessage

+1. I don't think, however, that the program will get that much negative PR, if any. The perception of Pelini outside the state of Nebraska is terrible, as anyone who lives elsewhere can tell you. Nor are these feelings new to this season.

 

National sports writers were wondering on Twitter if this game just sealed his fate. What the football guys will write and say is easy to predict. "Pelini had 7 years and just couldn't get over the hump. Nebraska brought him in to bring back championships to Lincoln, and he just has not gotten it done, and it feels like he is getting farther away from them" Not the venom that followed when Solich was fired.

Bo has had 7 years to build the foundation for his program.

 

7 years to establish an identity.

 

7 years to learn how to play SMART...FUNDAMENTAL...FOOTBALL.

 

7 years!

 

To put this in better perspective...Bob Devaney coached at Nebraska for only 10 years and his overall record was 101-20-2 (.829) with 2 National Championships.

 

It's time to turn the page to a new era of football at Nebraska.

We'll probably have to wait until after Iowa for the ax to fall. I hope he's gone before the bowl game.

I think I can read the writing on the wall at this point. However, I thought that last year.

Faux Pelini made me chuckle in a bad day. Reminds me of the years I was attending Nebraska during the Bill Callahan era.

Curious to see how the 'Leavers and 'Lievers stack up now.

 

Had strong temptation to list bacon as a choice.

 

Meh, I make my own bacon, LOL

You don't fire a coach who has won over 70% of their games and is closing in on his SEVENTH straight nine win season.

Maybe YOU don't, but here at Huskerboard, WE DO.

 

Nah man, just kidding, I have no idea what's gonna happen. The suspense is killing me though.

[tattooedhusker]

Got quite a few new members, who just happen to be 'leivers

Jesus. Really?

 

We're 0-2 now in opportunities to get that 9th win. And watching Iowa today, well, Im not sure "closing in" is exactly the term for it. LOL.

[teachercd]

Lets face it...a new coach will make the "search" and spring game very exciting...

But, lets face it...its not like its going to be some 12-1 year.

 

Also...Bartons Vodka is very very cheap and I am not even sure if it is vodka...it might be paint thinner

You are in the minority then

[Danny Bateman]

Hopefully you've laid off the paint lately Teach. I'd hate it if you were forced to drink that Barton's out of necessity.

Well again, a 9-4 season would be fine, especially a first year coach, if the losses are competitive and we look competent, and we improve throughout the year. This what has Bo gone. Stagnant is a stretch at this point.

 

And I still have to disagree anyway. There's a lot of talent on this team. The right guy could have us right there. Goes back to that old deal I've been sayin. Even Callahan could win us 9 to 10 games in this conference.
