Three-Star Recruit
I don't think Eichorst will fire Bo until after the bowl game. Losing to Iowa and losing whatever crappy bowl we go to would just further cement him being fired.
Or any year, apparently.Shawn understands we're not going to win championships every year.
No. You fire him after Iowa, hire someone ASAP to try and salvage the recruiting cycle. No one waits until January!I don't think Eichorst will fire Bo until after the bowl game. Losing to Iowa and losing whatever crappy bowl we go to would just further cement him being fired.
This what we call AD-speak. Much like coach-speak. An AD is NOT gonna come out and do anything other than fully support the head coach right before the start of the season. Why is this such a tough concept to grasp?Let's rewind a little, shall we?
Just 3 short months ago, Shawn Eichorst spoke to the AP about Pelini's job status:
"Eichorst told The Associated Press that the program is stable and that the Huskers have a seasoned coach who has won a bunch of games."
Eichorst' stance is very matter of fact. Win or lose this Friday against Iowa, and whether we like it or not - Bo Pelini will be the head coach moving forward.

Michigan did after Rich Rod, and they got Hoke. Seems to be a bad idea to wait.No. You fire him after Iowa, hire someone ASAP to try and salvage the recruiting cycle.

What success has Bo had?I honestly do not think he will be fired barring the Huskers getting blown out or playing very poorly against Iowa. I think Bo losing the last two games without getting blown out and finishing 8-5 may get him fired but I'm not sure it definitely will.
With a win or close loss vs Iowa, I think Eichorst will give Pelini another year. I think he will say that he is giving Bo another year because of the success he has had and that he will not fire a coach after one sub par year. I think he will say that he expects to see an improvement in the competitiveness of the team next year and that no coaching changes will be until after the 2015 season and that the coaching staff will be evaluated at the end of the year as per usual. He will give him a year to right the ship.
We blowout or play very well against Iowa and I don't think we will hear anything other than "coach speak" from Eichorst. just a blanket "Bo Pelini is and will remain the head coach at Nebraska and has my total support"
I don't think the Bowl game will make a difference in either direction.
I may be wrong but that is the gut feeling I have about this. I do think the Iowa game will have a big influence on the decision though.
I think BRI is on target with this... the bit about "he'll do as he is told" couldn't be stated better. For a LONG time I really believed the fans had a say in these matters... I was dead wrong. It is big money at the controls. Love it or hate it, its a fact that a panel of money will determine Bo's future at NU. College sports are a business, Bo is bad for business at NU. I hate saying that because I truly believed until Saturday despite the warnings along the way: the A&M meltdown on Martinez, the hat assault on a ref, BoGate, and too many tirades on national TV to count... just to name a few. I'm officially on board with the Bo must go camp, sorry I ever doubted you guys.SE can have all the stances he wants, when he has some major boosters pissed off standing at his desk, he'll do what he's told. Until then whether he stays or goes is only speculation, my guess? He's gone..........
This is true! But the big money agenda is very much driven by the general outcry from the fans.......I think we (fans) share the same agenda with them (boosters). Maybe not exact, but we are close enough.I think BRI is on target with this... the bit about "he'll do as he is told" couldn't be stated better.

The Michigan/Hoke marriage was destined to happen.Michigan did after Rich Rod, and they got Hoke. Seems to be a bad idea to wait.No. You fire him after Iowa, hire someone ASAP to try and salvage the recruiting cycle.

If he keeps him I think he will point to Bo having 9+ wins a season and the improvements made since the BC era.What success has Bo had?
