Bo Pelini would be a terrrible hire.
He would be a great hire, his players go to war for him. That has been part of the problem up here lately, more guys worried about their freaking hair gel then hitting someone.
Are you kidding me?
The problem is coaching. While Pelini may be a great D Coordinator, he's not a scheme genius in any way shape or form. In order for him to be able to restore Nebraska, he'd have to be smarter than TO. I think a lot of rocks are much smarter than Pelini. Based on what I've seen, he did a horrible job against Snyder.
Prince would destroy him in a heart beat.
I'll tell you sker fans again. NU will NEVER be the same as it was during the 90's. I'm sorry, but if you don't recognize that your program can never do what it did. And even if it did, you'd have to wait for many years, because the landscape has changed that much. You all made the stupid mistake of firing Solich. Then you watched as Callahan destroyed the roots and put in his crappy system and you all bought it hook line and sinker. Now you got Mr. Senile who is spending his time telling the whiny old players who weren't allowed on the sideline that it's OK you can come back instead. For whatever reason, the motivations will not change any aspect of your program. Zero. Zilch.
Time for you guys to recognize the end is near for NU's relevance. I predict, by 2010, the sellouts will end.
No one will ever have a run like that ever again, not even USC's current run equals it. BTW, Pelini's one time against KSU the issue was not defense, it was our offenses inability to accomplish anything and leaving the defense on the field the whole game (that was a problem the entire season). AND, he cleared the bench in the fourth quarter while BS left the starters in to run up the score. Funny how LSU's Defensive stat's have improved in each of Pelini's seasons there.
Firing Solich was actually a good thing, he was not set up to succeed. If he was such a great coach, why the hell is he at Ohio and losing to Buffalo? Solich is a great position coach, but not even a good head coach. He cannot delegate (again, there was much going on during his last season that I am not at liberty to discuss), and does not inspire players.
Only in (God, and I tried to have an intelligent conversations and of course, you all resorted to the typical name calling) your guy's mind will he coach circles around Pelini. He will delegate (as he did in the Alamo Bowl when he was interim HC and let the offensive coaches do their thing.
I am pretty sure I am way closer to what is going on in Lincoln than any of you. Yes the coaching sucks, but there are many attitudes (many of which I cannot talk about) that need to leave Lincoln now.
Seriously, win something with class, you are not going to win the Big XII north because you did not beat ku nor will you beat Missouri. NU will be lucky to win another game, but what if we beat you guys. Doubt it will happen, but we will have a field day.
Interesting how you go to the sell out card. Does KSU even have sellouts much less a streak? Even when the stadium is being dedicated to BS?
Has KSU ever even been relevant? No, you have good runs here and there only to fold. Again, win something with some element of class.
