After an embarrassing loss to Iowa today he says: "If they want to fire me, go ahead."

 

Not a good move, IMO, from a coach whose had his share of controversy already this season after a media outlet picked up on him criticizing his own team's fans.

 

If I'm the AD, at the very least, I'm having a long sit-down with him and making him attend to some PR seminars to check him and remind him whose in charge.

Sounds like he's content with being asked to leave town.

Time to go.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Glad I'm not alone in my thoughts. I think he'd be fine if he could keep his mouth shut, but apparently he can't. If it were this or the fan bashing that got out alone, then I think it'd be a different story. Unfortunately for him, it isn't. What the heck is he thinking?

I think he's been coaching on borrowed time. I'll give him credit, he speaks his mind.

Not a good year for the Pelini family. At least he's not getting fired for doing cocain

I think he sees the writing on the wall and figures he'll play it out on his terms. Scott Frost, come on down!

Bo Pelini is toast IMO.

He would be owed $7.8M.

....and the coaching carousel now has become bigger.

The AD said Pelini is the coach that will lead them into the future. He's staying. For now..

I took his statement to say that "we don't evaluate coaches in season" from reading the whole ESPN article.

I guess the reports on Twitter just cut all that out. Thanks!

No problem. It was pretty telling in everything he didn't say. I'll link the full article below.

 

I really think it's the news' spin machine to get hits and clicks by using a potentially misleading headline like that.
