goodbyes: tell the Pelini regime your farewells here

[Chaddyboxer]

 

 

a lot of folks say some donor is calling the shots at HC, Howard Hawks? I hate to think that one person could have that much influence on a program with as many season ticket holders as NU, but greed never surprises me.

 

Hawks, Clare and Pillen put the kabosh to it last year as that is what TO wanted. The first three just happen to be elected officials too. Shortly thereafter, IIRC a couple weeks after Eichorst announced support of Bo, Clare (cough) resigned (/cough) from his involvement with the Pelini Foundation. A sh#t storm was about to hit against Clare and it's too bad people didn't go through with it even after he resigned from the Foundation.

Anyone notice Pelini hug an older gentleman before the Minnesota game right before kickoff? That guy is Tim Clare, father of Pat Clare, Husker team ortho for many years and that was his last home game (retiring).

Connect the dots.

Bingo we have friendships in the way of business.

Nevermind, I got it. Derp. Needed to read it again and Hedley pointed it out. Derp.

As cryptic as it sounds...I think Eichorst was hired for a reason....the reason is to get rid of Bo if certain expectations weren't met. I've been told from plenty of people that Harvey Perlman and Bo don't see eye to eye.

It could very well be. $ Byrne resigned and took the A&M job because he didn't want to be the one to fire Solich.

Not really, Byrne was a lot of things, but being shy about cutting jugulars was absolutely not one of them.

I want to thank Bo for the most promising first 3 years after Callahan. I really thought we were going to be a fixture in the top 10 with an amazing D and even mediocre O. That's where it ended though. He brought passion and good times back to the fan base in those years.

 

Unfortunately for him that passion is what led to his fate on Friday.

He got the program moving in the right direction. I was at the Holiday Bowl stomping of Arizona and little did I know that was the pinnacle...everyone thought it was going to be the beginning of BCS bowls from there on. The real disappointment for me was that I really wanted the Blackshirts to be back and so there was a lot of hope in this defensive guru to no doubt have our defense always be solid...that we'd make our reputation on defense and thus be in every game, even if we lost 17-13 we'd certainly never get blown out. We then started to not play well on defense and I chalked it up to a bad season or two. But then you could just see the scheme was a disaster, the defense was not attacking but passive, had poor fundamentals, let other teams control them, and then of course every formidable team just blows our doors off. The charade was over and so it is time to say goodbye.

Is this just your opinion or is this expectation rooted from info you have from someone connected with the decision makers?

Did someone spill gravy in his fish tank and needed an immediate repair?

Nobody gives a damn what Harvey Perlman thinks

Hedley, you are a clown. Either spit it out or zip it.

PM about anything you've heard?

I hope you guys are right. Something seemed super fishy the way things went down after Iowa last year. Seemed insane that Eichorst was quiet the whole season only to endorse Pelini less than 24 hours after he berated an ESPN sideline reporter on national TV and almost struck an official in the face with his hat.

 

What I don't understand is why the powers who stayed the execution a year ago will no longer stand in the executioner's way now. Is it simply a case where they stayed the execution on a "give him one more chance" condition?

Hope you are right! It seems like only a few are looking out for the best interest of this program after that insignificant iowa win
