For those of you calling people "anit-bo" what we really are is pro-Nebraska. These debates are the Pro-Bo's vs the Pro-Nebraska's
Yes the pro-Nebraskans that would rather see us lose to Penn. St., Iowa, and whatever bowl game we end up in.
What is best for the long term of the program? If you feel that Pelini is hampering the program from reaching expectations you would see the need to lose to bring in someone else. If you believe Pelini is the answer than you want him to win out. It is all how you view the program and its trajectory. Personally I am of the belief that Pelini and his band of misfit toys need to leave Lincoln. However, when I watch a game I cannot and never will be able to cheer against them. But when we do lose it does not hurt like it used to because it is potentially one step closer to what I feel will make this program better in the future. Is this apathy or something else? Maybe a little of both but all these debates center around the fact that people are divided on who should lead our program. All of us are equal fans of this team
You're delusional.
Do you not remember 10 years ago? Solich never should have been fired and it killed us for a whole decade. Bo is just now getting us back on our feet. Do you have no hindsight? Chances are about 95% that firing Bo will throw away another decade.
OTOH, has Nebraska ever been rewarded for being patient with a head coach? Let's see, after Devaney had back-to-back 6-4 seasons, there were petitions distributed by "fans" like you to fire him. They were obvioudly wrong. TO won 9 games in 6 of his first nine seasons and never won more than 10. And he pretty much had people calling for his head and making jokes his first 20 years. He finished the season in '90 at 1-3, including an embarrassing 45-10 blowout to an unranked team. Lots of people wanted him fired. They were wrong.
Bo is doing a good but maybe not great job. Certainly good enough to not get fired. The WORST thing for Nebraska would be to fire another 9 win coach.
Seriously, we can't be unlucky enough to be the only school stupid enough to fire a 9 win coach and then do it again ten years later, can we???
