This needs to be Pelini's last game as our coach

[Husker Dude 6]

Bobby Knight, Woody Hayes, Bo Pelini. All winning seasons but .......

2/3 have won NC, you figure out who's the two

Mike Leach, the Rutgers basketball coach, Lane Kiffin, Jim Harbaugh.

It's easy to throw out names and be selective of the names you choose.

He's an a$$ that had worn out his welcome.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The sad part is, some people actually read this and believe you when you say that. Until you have met the guy in person, please be careful of what you say.

Sidenote: Pelini has young children and his kids and family have had to deal with the fanbase (the self-proclaimed, "Greatest Fans in College Football") this year, through all of this media garbage... Try explaining to a 3rd grader how you could lose your job and the entire state would know about it. And yes Bo can be an aggressive, toe-the-line type of person but it's that mentality that turns in championship teams and helps form boys to men.

- And please, do not compare this to Osborne. Although we respected Osborne over time, his lack of aggression/vocally expressing his angry or disagreement frustrated the fans like crazy. Osborne was also shielded from that because he had some assistant coaches and players who had no problem laying into a ref vocally.

I agree with your comments. Some thought should be given to keeping Bo the coach, Bo the man, and Bo's family separate. I don't know how it could be accomplished wih media these days. However, we should try if we are really good people, good sportsmen and great fans.

If they are going let Bo Pelini go, then they NEED to do it sooner rather than later. At the end of the day, I will root for Nebraska no matter who its coach is. I'm disappointed by the loss and the way we've played in our losses.

I felt that in the Minnesota and Iowa game, we just didn't get a good effort out of our guys. I felt that in Michigan State and UCLA, we just gave the game away with silly turnovers or a lack of offense.

If you take a look at how we've lost games, just this year:

UCLA: We were up 21-3. We should have finished that game. I don't care if we would've only won by 3 points, but an 18 point lead should not be squandered.

Minnesota: Up 10 points early, that was a game that should have been managed better.

Michigan State: 5 turnovers, still had an opportunity to win the game. Makes you question what would've happened had we not turned that over.

Iowa: Down 7 points, we run a fake punt deep on our side of the field that doesn't work. Iowa goes up 14 as a result.

There shouldn't have been a game that we lost. Had we lost to just Michigan State and Minnesota or just UCLA and Michigan State, given the injuries and the youth, I think there would be a lot more leeway given to Bo. BUT we didn't, we lost to all 4 of those teams.

So, if they let Bo go, they need to do it sooner rather than later.

Only if we actually have a plan. If we're going to scramble and botch another hire, I'd rather keep Bo and get our 8 or 9 wins next year.

I love the, "he has kids," defense of Pelini. So what, he can not be fired until his kids all reach the age of 19? This is a business, plain and simple.

 

[Danimal]

That was the presser of a guy that doesn't plan on being back.

 

[TrueHuskerFan]

I agree. The presser was not the reason that he will be gone as some are saying, the presser went down the way it did because he doesn't plan on being the coach much longer.

I would love to be in 3rd grade and my dad trying to explain to me that he makes more in a month than most will make in 5 years. I would also love to be in 3rd grade and my dad trying to explain to me that if he gets fired from his job, he gets paid more than most people will make in several lifetimes.

 

[Husker Dude 6]

The "he has kids" wasn't a defense of his job, it was an idea that maybe you should consider the fact that his kids have been hearing about how their dad will lose his job at the end of the season for months now from other "fans". How he's a "lunatic" and out of control, etc. College football is business, no arguing that. But realize that what you write and say does have a cumulative effect and it goes farther than simply Bo Pelini.

You're right, Pelini and the staff does make quite a bit of money. Unfortunately however, your job performance is not broadcast across the state unlike theirs. It comes with the territory. We'd all love to have the money problem for sure. Sad part is, everyone thinks that UNL could find better. Maybe they can, but... the grass isn't always greener.

I believe he was talking about the personal attacks against Pelini.

Your post have zero value, Mr. Make a new account to defend pelini

 

[Karawithasmile]

Bo made a complete fool of himself today, repeatedly.

I had been a solid supporter, and really believed he should have been given 1-3 more years.

He now has made himself, the team, the school, look like a joke in a crude manner that eclipses his past transgressions.

I have done a 180 and think the sooner the door hits him in the a$$, the better. I wonder how many others he lost today. And it had nothing to do with Iowa winning. It had everything to do with our team wildly underperforming, even with the injuries. For me, it was all about Bo and his immature, embarrassing behaviour.

Just curious, what about what he did today was that much different than what he has done before? The last year or two he's been minding his Ps and Qs, but nothing he did today seemed (at least to me) that much more offensive than past incidents that he has had. He's always been contentious to media. He's always been less than receptive to the fans. He's always been prone to outbursts. What about today set you over the edge?

 

[sd'sker]

bo may stay, and that is fine. but i am unsure how anyone could defend him at this point. strictly because of his on-the-field product.

I'm sorry to feel the need to attack me. That's fine man, do your thing. I appreciate your lack of contribution in agreeing or disagreeing with my post. Instead of bashing the man, I simply pointed out what I thought would be obvious to true fans. Apparently... it wasn't as obvious to you as I thought.

This. I hope we do have a plan, now that Bo has basically dared the powers that be to fire him (and his whole attitude, the fans' attitudes, and the silence from the University suggest that this relationship will not last much longer). If we don't have a plan, this whole thing was mismanaged very badly. If we weren't considering outsing Pelini, the story should have been squashed immediately last week. Because a loss was only going to ignite this. And now here we are.
