Anyone else’s respect for Pelini go up?
- Thread starter Clevinger
- Start date
Fuk No. Just because the Scott Frost era was a total dumpster fire and Smiling Mike’s was a little better but still embarrassing, doesn’t mean Pelini did a great job.
Would I love 9 wins a season? Yes. But I want the teams to look disciplined and dominant. I don’t want teams that struggle to barely beat crappy teams and get their asses handed to them by teams like Wisconsin.
He didn’t have any legal problems because Tom ran interference for him. Tom sidetracked 2 staff lawsuits against the Pelinis and the university. I don’t know if there was a quiet cash settlement but there were some serious charges by female NU employees that would have made national news.
People soon forget. There was no silver lining.
He should be unemployed!!?!
He proved it by coaching at Youngstown and by going back to LSU as D coordinator…
Respected him plenty while he was here
Recognized the game passed him by as well

Best sports rant ever
Bo Pelini: Nebraska AD Eichorst is a 'f------ lawyer who makes policies'
Former Nebraska coach Bo Pelini criticized athletic director Shawn Eichorst and the school's administration in an expletive-laced rant during a 30-minute meeting with players a few days after he was fired late last month. Nebraska dismissed Pelini last month after he led the Cornhuskers to a...www.si.com
He wouldn’t still be here. Why people only look at numbers but don’t look at everything that went into his record is beyond me.
Do you not get that his teams barely beat shit teams and got smoked by average to better competition.
Do you not get the BIG was going through a lot of issues when Bo first took over. Michigan had a couple bad HC’s, Rich Rod and Brady Hoke. PSU had the baby raper and the limited scholarship penalty, (although they should’ve had much harsher penalties). OSU had some issues.
The BIG was ripe to be controlled but Bo couldn’t do it. OSU, Michigan, and PSU are day and night different than back then. Purdue’s Rondale Moore would have ran all over a Bo D.
He was caught on tape calling husker fans "f$&@king fair weather fans". He wasn't good enough to get away with that
Exactly. He wasn’t good enough to be an a**hole to people.
I don't know - our season ending rankings in the AP poll for those last three seasons: #25, unranked, unranked. The pollsters weren't fooled by nine wins a year against weak, unranked opponents (the only wins against ranked opponents in those entire three years were #20 Michigan in 2012 and a disinterested #23 Georgia in the 2014 Gator Bowl). If you had any ambitions of NU being a ranked team more often than not, Pelini wasn't going to get you there.
Laugh if you want. It’s a fact known to a few boosters of substance that I know. My suspicion is that there was a cash payment made for a covenant not to sue.
Two horrible coaches after Pelini doesn’t make him a good coach. Why isn’t his name brought up in open jobs?

Pelini to this day speaks resoectfukky about Nebraska and has moved on.
He changed his tune pretty quickly after he took that Youngstown job. He and his D line coach Kaz both quickly realized how badly they screwed up a sweet deal.
It’s kind of too bad he landed at LSU as a DC instead of in the NFL as a position coach.

He could have easily coached until the day he died in the NFL. Instead he insisted on playing a victim, and coaching in college. Something he didn’t really like doing.
