Who's next? Hoke?
He’s the ultimate hotheaded jerk.
The last time NU fired a 9-3 coach they hired Callahan and had 5 really bad years. Sometimes that new direction thing does not go in the direction they expect.
Cornhusker fans can’t forget the years of Devaney and Osborne.
It is not about education it is about winning and money. this is why there is problems in the NFL. They don’t care about the athletes or the quality of education that they get. Just winning and money.
Probably. Hoke's Michigan winning percentage is significantly worse than Pellini's at Nebraska (about 61% vs. 72%), and what makes it worse for Michigan fans is that Michigan's decline (a putrid 5-7 this year and no bowl game) is coming at the same time arch-rivals OSU and MSU are dominant.
But Hoke scores better than Pellini in intangibles: personality, media relations, high graduation rates of players, low off-the-field problems with players.
Pelini's prolific use of the F bomb didn't sit well with many Nebraskan's either. When he stated if they didn't like it they could fire him, I think that was then beginning of the end.
To some people 9 wins is OK. To others, include me as an alum, wins against losing programs & getting blown out in the most important games does not get it. Does anyone think that a coach stays in assumed top schools if you can’t make the top 25? What does it convey to recruits & their families when Bo goes ballistic on the sidelines yelling profusely instead of coaching. I look at this as an end of a mediocre reign & a bright new beginning. I look at a new coach that brings in experienced coordinators & can adjust during a game. Best to Bo & his family wherever he lands.

Is it just me or does this seem like a horrendous amount of money for UNL to flush down the toilet? If they do a clean sweep, it’s $11 MILLION and if it’s “just” Pelini, $7.65 million.
How do you justify that to people that are paying to send their kids to school there?
Really STUPID move, Nebraska. Ugh. Not a Husker, but know my football, and this firing is just plain STUPID.
Bet Pelini ends up at U of M - and pumels Nebraska for a decade or two - or Florida.
A jerk who told Husker fans to eff off. Also its not the wins and losses, its how we have won and how we have lost. I was a Bo backer until Wisconsin. There was no adjustments to stop Gordon. That was the sad reality, every year he would have a beat down, he would lose a game he shouldnt and simply were werent competitive when it mattered.
