Fans reactions on the reactions of former players

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

Just a quick question for everyone. I understand and can see where people would want to defend their coach. But I have seen quite a few people on this board and on social media trashing former players like Tommie Frazier and Jason Peters for making comments about the current state of the program. I for one find it totally disrespectful to do this to people who have played for Nebraska. On the other hand I am quite verbal on my dissatisfaction in regards to Bo, but my excuse on this is that Bo gets paid to put up with criticism. Can anyone name a football program where people don't rip on their coach? I can guarantee that even Nick Saban takes some crap from time to time. I just want to know (especially form the Bo supporters) why is it okay to rip on former players for voicing their opinions but its not okay for fans to rip on Bo?

I really don't have much use for people that are gonna just stand off to the side and throw rocks at someone. While I appreciate the success that these guys brought to us 20 years ago, I'm not sure how much insight into the situation they can really bring. Particularly Frazier who pretty clearly isn't fit to coach a Class D high school (3-17 at Doane).

We're in a rough spot right now, and using your name recognition to call for the firing of coaches isn't being part of the solution. I'm not saying its their duty to defend Pelini, because it isn't, but I'd appreciate them letting Pelini's program succeed or fail on its own merits without outside interference. I think Bo and his players deserve that much.

well said sir! I can understand that view. But I will say that Tommie just said that Bo should clean house on the defensive coaching staff, not really anything about Bo himself. Honestly, I think there is a majority of people in this state who would agree with that assessment. My thing is that it just seems the fan base is becoming more and more divided where fans either back the former players or they back Bo. Its almost like the college football version of republicans and democrats.

I have said this before it is not what he said but how he said it. TF has less tact than BP. Frazier and Peter just think he needs to do it like in 1995 and everything will be all right. That's what I get from those two. Those to were at Nebraska at the peak of process that started 20 years before they got there and that process ceased to exist the minute TO retired. Solich tried to continue the process, but he couldn't because he is not TO.

That's what they don't understand. Damon Benning understands this and Jay Forman understands this, but those two don't. They can't see past what they did and how it should still be that way.

What I am curious to know about is those players reactions to the HB posters reactions to the fans reactions to the players reactions. Then we'll get to the bottom of things.

Every body brings up Frazier's short stint as a HC. You telling me Bo Pelini has never failed anywhere? Tommie knows more about the game than most of us on here...

People should actually listen to his recent broadcast (Frazier) because I heard many good points. And this whole notion that the "old" way is somehow outdated is hogwash. How do you think Saban coaches?

Pretty close to Bo actually, not real friendly to the media, hot heads, talks about execution and the process like it's going out of style.

The bold part I tend to agree. We could use some unity up in here.

I wouldn't equate two guys that have long established themselves as dicks as "the former players", it's much less about protecting Bo than not giving a rat's a$$ about what those two think or if Bo tells Tommie to kiss-off.

Peters, I can see. But Tommie? Yeah he speaks his mind and can go off at times. I am sure glad we don't have a coach that acts like Tommie... Wait...
