    Bo Pelini fired

    Nebraska fires head coach Bo Pelini
    Nebraska has fired head coach Bo Pelini, effective immediately.
    He had been with the school since 2008. Nebraska finished the season 9-3 and are bowl eligible, but Pelini will not be a part of it. The Cornhuskers did lose two of their last three and barely beat Iowa in the final game. Nebraska is a very favorable head coaching job and have recently produced talent like Ndamukong Suh, Prince Amukamara, Lavonte David, Ameer Abdullah and Randy Gregory. Pelini has a defensive background and could land a coordinator position this offseason. The real question is, what will happen to Faux Pelini?

    Nebraska boring and flat. The women are large farm girls and everything is plain and vanilla. Summers are hot as balls and the winters are cold and miserable. You'd have to pay me NFL money to live there.

    Agree. They, and Notre Dame, actually believe they are still perennial top tier national programs. Might show up high in the rankings every few years, but consistently challenging for the national championship is long gone. Bad move.

    Keep hearing the specious "9 wins" defense of this guy. Sorry but the 3 or 4 automatic wins he got every year with the Huskers perennial cupcake non conference schedule don't count. He beat Florida Atlantic, McNeese State (barely), Fresno State. Throw in Illinois, Rutgers, Purdue and Northwestern...underwhelming. And of course the annual drubbings by legitimate teams. Hardly a resume to proud of.

    He should have been fired after last season when he dared the AD to fire him. Perfect opportunity to get rid of the unstable and mediocre coach but instead the idiot AD gives him an extension. Now this. Lots of dysfunction and incompetence going on at NU right now. Time to break it down and start anew.

    It will be fun to watch how many "name" coaches turn the job down.

    You obviously are clueless regarding the Nebraska fan base. It was a move that was inevitable and needed to be made.

    An injury depleted Georgia team and barely beat them at that. There are no other "signature wins" for Pelini and too many "big" game drubbings to list.

    I'm not defending the guy. The fans hate him, fire him. I get it. But a big name coach won't take that job knowing 9 wins could get him fired.

    I'm surprised at this as well. All the guy does is win. 9-3 No good? 75% winning percentage no good?


    Something was said behind the scenes....

    it was as much to do with his personality as his record, like other guys said nebraska had numerous terrible showings in big games, but their days as a big time program are long gone

    i bet they go after scott frost, former nebraska player, even though hes pretty young (OC at oregon), seems like a school who wants "one of their own"

    it's weird because they absolutely destroy lesser teams. but they tend to get destroyed by better ones. i felt like this year's team was a little better than the martinez-led teams of the last four years, but i guess that's beside the point now.

    No offense but I don't think they will hire a coordinator. They are gonna want a guy with HC experience. I think Willie Fritz from Georgia Southern is a good hire. Runs a more up-to-date version of the triple option... Nebraska fans will dig that.

    Can't see them going with Frost either, too big of a stage for someone with no head coaching experience who is that young (39 yrs. old). Willie Fritz came to my mind also. I suspect that they already have their guy....AD stated at the presser that no search committee would be convened...that tells me they have their coach and just need to work out the details or hold off on the announcement for per request of the individual to be hired.

    Pat Narduzzi Michigan State's Defensive Coordinator and Tom Herman Ohio State's Offensive Coordinator are also names I am hearing. Even Mark Richt Georgia's Head Coach who grew up a Cornhusker fan and whose family is from Omaha is not beyond the realm of possibility.

    All I ask is please don't let it be Houston Nutt or Greg Schiano!
