I mean, he had the same record with his recruits as he did BC's recruits.
All true, but Pelini would have STILL been fine if he was a d!ckhead and was competitive in any game of consequence. If you're an ******* and teams are setting rushing records against you repeatedly.....well, that **** wears pretty thin.
Yup. Saban was allowed to be "mean" because he won a million important games.
Sitting in a stadium built by Nebraska fans, being paid millions by Nebraska fans, having won nothing after being paid 25 million by Nebraska fans, and the Bo goes on a rant calling fans who LITERALLY travel the best, and attend games the most "******* fair weather fans", plus a lot of other garbage. I don't care about the rant per say but I care about the lack of awareness of his situation.
I have to settle for that. Because it is already what I have!
I also don't care about his rant. If anything I think it was refreshing for our fans to hear what the coaches really think about most of us and to realize that all coaches get sick of the stupid fans and vice versa.
Bo was fired for his behavior. He was literally asking to be fired publicly. There was nothing refreshing about how he treated the media, recruiting, or the fans, or people in public. His AD at the time was a disaster, but even T.O would have had trouble supporting Bo after acting refs, assaulting his players on national t.v, asking to be fired. His meeting at the high school, which was leaked, was also indicative of how he did things on a daily basis. It was an internally toxic environment. He created an "us against the world mentality" inside the locker room, the team spent so much energy being pissed at fans, and turning away from the people that liked them, that they always collapsed when they faced a team that wanted to and could kill them.
Yes. It wasn't just his behavior - although that played a big part in it. There was little chance that Pelini would win a conference championship, which should always be a goal for Nebraska. The problem wasn't firing Pelini, it was who was hired to replace him - and the one after that as well.
Really "Little Chance" even though he played in like 2-3 conference championship games? Come on.
Yes, very little chance by the time he was fired. He couldn’t win a big game to save his soul. And he got blown out in epic fashion in his only Big Ten championship game. Come on.
We are not contending for a conference title any time in the near future under the current NIL landscape, either. Bo got canned probably a year later than he should have, but from the last couple years of Bo until now, the rest of CFB created a ton of distance from NU.
He played in 3 conference championship games in like 9 years?
"Bo Pelini was 25-24 against teams that finished with winning records. 40-2 against teams that finished below .500"
there is truth to this that the fan base is dying off.. but I am waiting to see more and more people jump on my bandwagon.. the locked on guys are already kind of taking my side, and I expect the others to do the same.
You are a bit hypocritical with your take on Bo. You love to rag on Iowa fans for winning a certain amount of games and being content with those seasons but in turn say NU fans expect more. Yet blo Bo for having the same level of success as a typical Iowa team.
I am 100% hypocritical.
Football knowledgeable people always cared about his behavior because it cost us important games, like against Virginia Tech. His teams also played really tight, and the dozen or so times we were embarrassed on national t.v always initiated a lot of talk from his supporters about why his team lost composure so quickly in big games while he was losing his mind on the sideline. He was fired for his behavior but he also was TERRIBLE against top 25 teams, especially after the move to the big 10. We played in an era of extraordinarily easy schedules...the big 12 north, and big 10 west were some of the worst divisions in college football, really no different from last year. Feast on the non-con, beat Maryland, Purdues, Rutgers, and beat one of the better programs who happen to be down like Michigan state.
I could be wrong but just looking it up he was 8-13 against top 25 teams.
it only wore thin because he was struggling to win at his previous pace. If he'd gotten 1 or 2 of those conference titles that looked to be in the bag he might still be the coach today.
Not really. Face it Bo is a K Ferentz type of coach. Don’t get me wrong. I would absolutely take Bo winning compared to the last 3 coaches. But BO was the same to NU as Ferentz is to Iowa
I know you struggle with posting. But this may be the absolute dumbest post you have made. And that’s saying something
This poster showed how either dumb he is. Or just young and talking out of his ***
