Abdullah the Butcher Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/11/23/misery-index-week-13-nebraska-miami-usc-virginia-tech-notre-dame-michigan-vanderbilt/19447173/ One of these days, Nebraska is going to take Pelini up on that offer.Because at some point, the notion that Nebraska fans expect too much or that the job isn't what it used to be or that a return to Tom Osborne-era dominance is impossible has no relationship to the evaluation of Pelini's job performance.Strip all that extraneous stuff away, just look at where the Nebraska program is right now relative to its peers and ask whether that's good enough. The answer is no.After seven years of Pelini, Nebraska fans know what they have and what they're going to get. And at some point, if the program has become incapable of winning anything meaningful, that's a problem Nebraska needs to address regardless of Pelini's overall record (66-27) or the fact he has never had a bad season by any standard.But don't let anyone including Pelini tell you that that Nebraska should just be happy with its nine wins a year because this isn't 1994 anymore. Look behind the numbers. Pelini's best win this season? Over a mediocre Miami team. Last year? Nebraska didn't beat anyone with a pulse until it survived, 24-19, against a beat-up Georgia team in the Gator Bowl. 5 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ESPN...check Sports Illustrated...check Sporting News...check USA Today...check Not to mention the World-Herald with the full court press. Going to be a lot of pressure to make a move now, regardless of Friday's result. Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I hear Pelini is the Minneapolis Star Tribune's man of the year. First back to back winner in a decade and a half. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 All these national publications sure are helping to pave the way for firing an 8 or 9 win coach. That's a good thing in my book. The Solich curse believers maybe can rest a bit easier and toss their favorite strawman into the fire. Quote Link to comment
