This is how far we come in Bo Pelini tenure. What a joke! I have lost all faith in Bo Pelini to get this program back to the elite! Talent and coaching is just not on par for what it should be in year 5! The excuses have run dry and I think it is time to look in a different direction!
Love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

"Am gonna lay the truth down , am gonna strap it on and tell it like it is as we say. Bo is a rookie head coach! His "mistakes" and what he does are expected i think.

It took TO at least 10 years to get the assets (the right student / athletes) to make his concept a reality. It took him 10 years to realize he has to get bigger, stronger and faster on all positions especially on the defensive side of the ball to compete with FSU, Miami and some of those SEC schools.

After that student / atheletes came knocking on Nebraska's doors! He caught so much heat than hell that he almost took Colorado job. The only reason he stated not to go was his loyalty to the student / athletes he had recruited; so he stayed and the rest was history

I, like some of you dont like some of the things Bo does sometimes. He was not hired to be liked however, as soon as he still commands respect he's not going to go anywhere or get fired. I am as frustrated as anyone for example why UCLA did not get a few doses of Imani Cross.

+1 for you sir. We fire Bo after most likely 5; 9 win seasons and this program will never recover. Patterson or Peterson would not come here with our lofty expectations, based on NC runs almost 20 years ago. We simply dont have the recruiting base. We need Tommy Armstrong to be the next Cam Newton, thats the only thing thats going to put this program over the top...elite QB play. We have some good athletes at the skill positions, and some up and coming defensive talent that we need to start playing NOW, but other then that it takes a special QB to make a special team. Hundley is just that for UCLA the will thrive as long as he stays healthy. Our LBs and ends this year are too slow to cover quick backs and TEs out of the backfield and they killed us those matchups. Corey Cooper did pretty well, we need better LBs and we have some good ones learning and growing its just going to take time. The senior class this year was a terrble terrible class for obvious reasons. I thought Kevin Williams did a pretty good job and was bigger then i expected, he will continue to grow and get better.

Now matter how good Taylor looks against mediocre defenses, when the pressures on he doesnt have what it takes to get the job done. Taylor is an average QB and we will continue to be average with him at QB. He doesnt have what it takes to get balls into tight coverage, our recievers have to be wide open for him to compete a pass, if they are slightly covered he panics, and he doesnt have the elusiveness to make something out of nothing.

We found out just how bad So Miss was and just how good UCLA was. Hopefully by the end of the year UCLA proves to be a very good team and this loss really changes some things on Defense, no more Whaley, lets get Santos and Anderson in and see what they got. I think we worked so hard on scheme that we dont work on the basic fundamentals of tackling. Alot of times it just takes one or two guys (Lavonte David) to really make the defense better.

Time to simplify the schemes and play some basic fundamental defensive principals. Get the young guys like Rose ,Afalava, Brown, Santos, and Anderson on the field, they certainly cant do as bad as we did Saturday. Our currently LBs are way to slow. We have to quit trying to stock pile talent, and get the kids on the field to learn from experience. By the time they learn the complicated schemes key guys like Gomes Hagg and David are gone and we dont have anyone with experience to take over. Im my opinion its part of the learning curve of a rookie head coach.

the defense looked confused slow and out of shape. of course none of this could possibly be attributed to coaching. it's hard to recruit to Nebraska just ask the head coach, so please sit back and watch an inferior defense let a freshman qb and 3 freshman linemen man handle our defense while the head coach cashes a 3 million dollar pay check every year until his next raise. lighten up Nebraska fans. it's BOfine.
