carl?Looking back, not the best decision
I wish we wouldn’t feed brand new posters that like to bring up stuff that‘s been discussed a half a dozen times..Yes it was a mistake, but not because Bo was a great coach and did not deserve to be fired. He was an average coach, very arrogant, and a jerk. However, our mistake, as with Solich, was firing a coach who never has been dichad a losing season and who averaged nine wins a game. Try getting another coach to come in here when the bar is set that high at a place like Nebraska where there are recruiting disadvantages.
We should have waited until Pelini had two or three years in a row of 6-6 or 5-7 teams. And in my opinion that would have happened eventually.

Oops. Forgot about the OP being a troll. My badI wish we wouldn’t feed brand new posters that like to bring up stuff that‘s been discussed a half a dozen times..
Maybe. However the west division is so weak, even in his worst years would probably still win 7-8 games per year.Yes it was a mistake, but not because Bo was a great coach and did not deserve to be fired.

Not exactly. I think Eichorst was brought in specifically for the purpose of firing Pelini. Most likely, Pelini would have been fired that year, unless he win the B1G and made the playoffs.Pelini left the administration with no other choice but to fire him. He was practically daring/begging for it at the end.
Bottom line: Pelini would probably still be HC at Nebraska if he could have handled the pressure. His firing was of his own doing.
Pretty good take on a troll thread. Cant say I'd disagree in hind sight.Yes it was a mistake, but not because Bo was a great coach and did not deserve to be fired.

But I think Riley was a desperation hire since no proven head coach would touch the job.No. Only in hiring Riley to replace him.

Looking back, your mom wished she'd have put you up for adoption.Looking back, not the best decision
Pelini got fired for a lot of the same reasons that Solich got fired, because it was thought that we're all that and we should always be Nebraska circa 1995.By the end of Pelini's time here, we were an unranked team getting 9 wins against weak opponents, getting blown out by unspectacular teams like Wisconsin, and the program was clearly trending downward. It was better than what we've had for the last 8 years but keeping Pelini would have been settling for perennial mediocrity.
Considering that Pelini has been fired from 2 more coaching jobs since then and is currently unemployed, no, Nebraska didn’t make a mistake.
Though his on paper record was good, he was an embarrassment in every big game. His behavior was out of control. He also was a lazy recruiter.
This has been the primary problem since 2003. I supported firing both Solich and Pelini. They both needed to go.No. Only in hiring Riley to replace him.

The mistake was in hiring their replacements. Bill Callahan and Mike Riley, both West Coast guys that wanted to run a West Coast style offense in Lincoln, both set the program back immensely.
I think with Bill...it showed that NU could flat out recruit with anyone in the country.I didn't support the firing of either of those 2 coaches.
I'd rather demand they made changes..
They both crippled this program.
