Nebraska plays like this off a bye week too
Sort of amazing that Minnesota is bowl eligible already.

Jerry Kill is a fine football coach. I've watched his career from the time he was at Saginaw Valley, and had them playing for their division's national title. I knew that when the Goofers got him, they got a guy who knows how to build a team, and how to coach it. I just hope he gets his health issues under control.
This probably gives MSU the inside track to the CCG at this point, although Michigan, deservedly or undeservedly, still holds their fate in their own hands."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Meanwhile, Pelini's butt gets a little bit warmer:

I think we took a big step forward as a program today.
Six hours ago I was positive that we had another two years of Bo Pelini ahead of us. Now there is a glimmer of hope that there may not be even one.Comment

I have a lot of empathy for Nebraska. A great program struggling to find its way.
I'd be interested in hearing from our Neb posters here what the underlying pressures will be for Pelini's ouster and how it will be orchestrated.
Does Frazier have standing? Enough influence to make it happen? Where do Neb's regents fit in? Osborne?Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Frazier is an ancillary player at best. Osborne...there are people who would run into a burning building if he suggested it, but not as many as there used to be. Given that the coup he orchestrated six years ago resulted in the hire of Bo Pelini, on top of his hiring of Frank Solich, he has credibility issues.The people who's dollars make their opinions matter know these things.
We also have a strong Chancellor who's not afraid of Osborne, is nearing retirement, and despises Bo Pelini.
All that said, Bo will need to lose more football games before anything happens. As a school that already carries the stigma for firing a 9-win coach, doing so again will hamper our efforts to find a replacement. That is understood at the highest levels; his cause for termination will need to be clear.Comment

Nebraska fans should be careful what they wish for. osu fired (5x) 9-3 coach Earl Bruce and got John Cooper, the Blower Of Big Games.
Although it took 3 short years (which seemed like 3 decades) to rid UM of RichRod, Bo P should survive the season, but have only one more to turn things around. Maybe turn around is a bad term, but stabilize the program into a consistant team. That's what I've seen of Nebraska, as an outsider with little interest, is its lack of consistency. Canning Bo-Peep now, or this season with his recent history record, will not help the coaching search. I could easily envision a Brand-On!-esque coach search debacle in Lincoln where fan favorite imbeciles (think Les Miles) or uninterested candidates (think Jim Harbaugh) are unrealistically recruited, only to hire the single person who comes forward, hat in hand. Then you get to hear lies on a scale of Goebbels how that was the plan all along.
That being said, this weekend's game gives me a slim hope that UM will win at least one more game this season.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho MarxComment

We are going to have to pony up major dough...most fans I converse with understand that. Price for buying ourselves out of self-imposed problems I guess.
That said, I don't think it'll be hard to find a better coach than Bo. He's awful, and whatever success he has is a testament to what potential this program has to offer a good coach IMO.Comment

Things can certainly get worse for Nebraska, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get rid of Pelini unless you know you can find someone better.Comment

Wm... They can get worse. We made the mistake going from solich to Callahan.Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.Comment

I will write more later... UNL has a lot of positives, but also negatives.Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.Comment

That won't be an issue....finding the right guy is. There's a reason this lunkhead is still here, after courting a number of other jobs; people in the know won't hire him. Only Nebraska was self-deluded enough to do so.Originally posted by WM Wolverine View PostComment

I wonder if Gerry Faust is still coaching...Originally posted by WM Wolverine View PostShut the fuck up Donny!Comment

Whether UNL can find someone better (and FFS that shouldn't be too hard), they HAVE to try. Sticking with Pelini is accepting his ceiling, which, IMO, is well-established and not particularly high.
They may be get worse. There's always that chance. However, at some point UNL has to decide what is acceptable and not. I don't think Pelini is acceptable for a program like UNL. He will NEVER have that team in the national title picture.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
