What did Pelini say to the team

He told them he remembers researching who they were and what kind of young men they were. He remembers choosing them, recruiting them, sitting in many of their living rooms talking to their parents about life at Nebraska. He remembers telling them he'd take care of them, and he told them that's what he's tried to do.

 

He told them he didn't agree with the decision to fire him. He felt the program was in good shape, that he had been a good steward of his players, and that although he agrees there are things that need fixing, he thought and thinks that he's the man to do it. He said he didn't regret the choices he's made.

 

He told them he's enjoyed watching them grow as players and as young men. He told them he's proud of who they are, he's proud of what they've accomplished, how far they've come. He told them he will be watching them as they continue their careers, and that he's going to be their fan now, not their coach.

 

He told them some things didn't go right, and he took responsibility for it. He told them about life and consequences and choices and that things don't turn out the way you think they should, or that sometimes people don't see things the way you see things. He told them things change, and it's not always a change you wanted or felt was right.

 

He told them this is part of the business. That football is a big world and that nothing is set in stone. He told them coaching can be a rough business and it's not for the faint of heart. He told them that he would be OK, and his coaches would be OK, and that they were not to worry about them. He told them to focus on school, keep their heads up, and to work hard. He told them that's what he expected from them every day and that hasn't changed.

 

He told the Seniors it was their job to be role models for the team, to show them the work ethic he's always taught them to have. He told them he knew they would make him proud.

 

It was an emotional night, and not all of the emotions were sadness. He told them they were men of character that would get through that in time.

 

He said "heckuva" about 18 times.

 

Buying it I am not. You're a good writer, though. Seriously.

at the meeting? I hope it wasn't more "us against the world BS"

 

Dude, that was like forever ago. Mike Riley is here now. Turn... The... Page...

Does it matter? It's like when you split with your ex. You know you're over it when you don't care anymore. New chapter. Turn the page. Remain stoical.

And... nobody is shocked. But it would have been nice if this weren't true.

I mean, sheesh.

 

Pelini told his players that Osborne was forced out of the A.D. role in 2012 and Pelini knew what was “around the corner.”

“I'll put it to you this way,” he said. “It didn't surprise me how it played out.”

“At the end of the day, it’s hard enough to build something. You’ve got to have everybody going in one direction. And it wasn’t. Everybody wasn’t going in the right direction.

“There were agendas and that goes all the way over to the chancellor's office. And between the A.D. and the chancellor and they want their own guy in here, go ahead. Good luck to ya.”

 

 

This is not how you instill integrity and class into young men you were entrusted to lead.
