Keep in mind these are the same guys who turned on Frank Solich at the first sign of trouble, but then supported an alternate golf tournament in Omaha for him as an "up yours" to the AD who did what they asked. These are the same guys who wanted Chancellor Perlman fired because he didn't hire Steve Pederson fast enough. They're not going to give up on the Pelini myth, even though Bo Peep did enough to get fired from three jobs.
They have a really, really hard time admitting when they are wrong. Just thank your lucky stars none of them actually have any power or decision making authority in the athletic department.
