Who ho is next? I'd love to hear MTGL's thoughts.

9-3. Potential to have a 10 win season? Wow. Tough Crowd.

Nebraska won't do any better Osborne isn't coming back, not enough in state talent to compete on the national stage. Nebraska and Tennessee are in the same boat.

Scott Frost is being mentioned as a candidate. Former Husker QB. Current Oregon OC.

Frank Solich was fired in '03 after similar 9-win season. I think most Cornhusker athletic supporters figured Bo should have gotten the boot last year, after saying not-so-nice things about NU fans. Most probably figured a 9-win season would have earned him at least one more year. We'll see now how hard Missouri, Iowa, K-State go after the 'Huskers '15 recruits.

I saw somewhere that he was 67-27 at Nebraska... Am I missing something? What's the problem?

The boosters remember national titles. That's a pretty strong voice against being content with 8 and 9 win seasons.

 

Peking also dug his own grave by having choice words for Husker fans last season.

Tubby at UK after 7 seasons.

Nebraska fans are kidding themselves if they think a national title again is in the realm of possibilities. The over-age-55 boosters may remember the glory years under Devaney and Osborne, but the college football system has moved beyond that era.

 

Nebraska AD said Pelini's inability to win the big conference games was the No. 1 reason for his dismissal.

Wow, they may be the vocal minority but they certainly are upset... The AD is taking a lot of shots, I wonder if he'll suspend any of those players for their comments?

Sounds a lot like Michigan...

He's been under fire for years. Nebraska still thinking about those glory years, it's been a while since they've been a feared program.

Find a good win among those nine.
