Volkswagen and Nebraska Football

was petit compensated for making this statement? Perhaps in the form of direct pay or a speaking engagement/instruction contract?

 

After seeing the timing on perlmans interview and the parallels, I am really wondering.

Seriously. Harvey is in full damage control trying to get everyone who'll answer his calls to say nice things about Riley. This is truly becoming a sick joke

[In the Deed the Glory]

I'm sorry, Count. I cannot get behind that idea.

 

I will however support this team no matter what. Maybe Riley turns it around, maybe not.

 

Regardless, I don't want to lose fans. We will very much struggle to recruit without a full stadium and the money that comes with that.

So awesome. I wish Pelini had never stepped a foot into this program.

 

The more people in the know that come forward and call out that piece of sh#t, the better.

 

It obviously needs to be acknowledged more when you see so many people that seem to just ignore it.

 

Thank you Mr. Pettit for having the guts to speak the truth.

I said it when he was fired. Was pretty roasted for it. Mainly cuz I compared him to Callahan and Pedersen. And I stick with it.

 

Riley or not. Bo fist f'd this program more than Pedersen and Callahan ever dreamed.

 

When it's all said and done, this 3-9 season will be good for the program in the long run. It'll be a nice bold reset of perspective and fundamentals. A cut and dried reason for Riley and crew to put their foot down on the program. I truly believe it's basically just become about getting throught the season while implementing some of their concepts. As far as the fanbase goes, it'll be good for that as well. We will truely find out who the real passionate fans are and who are the coattail nippers who were just along for the ride hoping to get a taste of that 30 year run, and get all pissy and bitter when it doesnt go their way.

 

The revisionist recollection, hypocrisy, and overreaction i see anymore makes me wanna straight up puke. I seriously didnt know it was possible for a Nebraska "fan" to know this little about football and all the things beyond X's and O's that make a program successful. This program needs a few 3-9 seasons. yes. more than one. Some of us jackass fans need humbled. In a very bad way.

"3-9 is good for the program"

 

 

How about the current players?

 

 

I truly can't believe how deluded some have become.

Yes in the long run it may very well be. It could purgue illogical, derailing, and hypocritical jackasses like you from our midst. Then we can get back to good things.

 

Nothing. I mean nothing you have said or done here has been productive in any way. Not to mention there are so many holes in your thoughts and facts that I cant even keep track of.

 

Now. Youre not the only one. There are many like you. A really bad season or two could be good in my opinion. Bottom out. Reset the program. End the sellout streak. And get a guy-whether it still be Riley or someone else-who can come in with zero pressure, and zero obligation to worry about our past. Zero pressure from jackass fans and media who are so caught up with history that they think things never change or shouldnt change. Allow us to get with the program. Embrace our history, but not try to live in it.

Did you want Solich fired in '03?

 

And what you describe would kill the husker program. Not everyone has a herbie hard on. Most fans would walk away and not come back after consecutive 3-9 seasons. What would NU be left with other than being another Kansas?

Yes. I did. I was ready to try something new. We were trending downwards. Sure. 2003 was a step back up, RECORD WISE. But 41-24, 31-7, and 38-9 says we were still trending down. I wanted to go a different direction. Now. This narrative has changed over the years. Looking back knowing what I know about football now, its probably somethings that shouldntve happened. Frank did what he needed to after just one measly bad year.

 

Kill the program? How so? This is what I mean. We are so caught up with maintaining this level of relevance that we're tearing ourselves apart at the first sight of failure in wanting to go another direction, in trying to take the next step. Jesus Kriest. Look at the CFB poll. Clemson is number 1. Temple, Baylor, TCU, Utah. For sh#t's sake. How do you "kill" a program. It's not like we're this almighty relevant program anyway. We havent been relevant, and not mediocre for over a decade. Give me a break. What are we killing? The sellout streak. That's all it comes down to. Let it end. let's play football again. Lets get a guy-or keep the guy-with a vision and ideals to make us great again. But you have to be willing to take the risk to be great. youre 70% theory is just a copout. it's chickining away from the true challenge.

 

And as far as fans walking away and not coming back?......Good. Like I said....

 

As far as the fanbase goes, it'll be good for that as well. We will truely find out who the real passionate fans are and who are the coattail nippers who were just along for the ride hoping to get a taste of that 30 year run, and get all pissy and bitter when it doesnt go their way.

 

Let em go. Lifes better without them.

So,..what you are basically saying is:

 

"Our crowd. What a bunch of fu*king fair-weather fu*king...they can all kiss my ass. Fu*k you, fans. Fu*k all of you. Fu*k 'em."

Its just another poor effort to bait Husker fans. We're known as the greatest and even the smartest fans in football and now that we're starting to act like it, they've been running around like headless chickens this week. I'll continue to take any and all attempts that are made to divert my attention away from our 3-6 record and proceed to throw it back in their faces. Behold, another whiffer by Harvey Perlman and the athletic department.

Did you want Solich fired in '03?

 

I wish he would never have been hired as HC and Byrne would have been able to hire the coach he wanted. A coach that has won 80% of his games.

 

As far as Pettit's statement, most will agree that Bo is a douche and the only people that won't have some weird allegiance to him which I think is odd but that could just be me.

[GBRedneck]

What a great statement! It is too bad the AD didn't lay it all out there for people to see. Now we have the revisionists ignore all that stuff and focusing on the AD's statements about "games that matter" and "players capable" etc.

I don't think you know what "revisionist" means.

The Solich haters think Byrne was going to get Stoops.

Ah, the strawmen are strong in this thread, and it has now gone down the proverbial same path, as every other thread on this board.

So you don’t think Byrne’s hands were tied and Solich was his top choice?

 

And I’m not a Solich hater; his service to the University is admirable and he was a great Running Backs coach. I’m just someone who never thought he was the best choice to take over the program and wished then and still do that we would have hired someone else (from that staff or from outside the program).

 

Thanks though.

Byrne had nothing to do with Solich's hire. I think that's common knowledge.

 

Doesn't mean he would've gotten Stoops if his hands weren't tied.

That expresses how I feel about Solich better than I could have myself. He did admirable work on TO's staff, and he was a gamer as a ball player (from what I've read). But I wasn't keen on seeing him take over as head coach. Oh well. It's water under the bridge. Frank recovered, and put together a nice body of work at Ohio.

Frank put together a really nice body of work as HC of the Huskers. A very underappreciated body of work.

[cm husker]

in what alternate reality would it make sense, coming off a national championship, to blow up the program and bring in a new coach?

 

 

Or are some of you under the misimpression that Stoops or anyone else would have just retained the national championship winning staff?
