lol Bo Pelini decided to scorch some earth on his way out of town apparently. What an asshole.
That is more of a light singe than a scorch.
And he was always a total asshole. He was just your asshole before.

Lol @ nebraska. You tolerated all that behavior for his entire tenure at your school. Don't act all high and mighty now and tell us it isn't tolerated. It damn sure was. The pelini stank is still upon you.I wouldn't consider gathering a group of 18-22 year old players in a room off campus and telling them their program, fans and administration sucks (to put it lightly) is a singe. That's a deliberate attempt to sabotage a program. He gets $1.8M/year to leave, those players have to pick up the pieces. I would have had a lot more respect for the guy if he had the balls to do it in front of a microphone looking into a camera. The fact that he chose to have that little rant in a high school auditorium with only his players is insulting and among the least professional things a football coach could ever do. And that's saying a lot considering the already lengthy list of unprofessional things Bo Pelini did already.
Fuck that guy.
Nebraska's response:
Bo Pelini's rant made me blush...
The guy is a douche nozzle and I'm glad he's gone. Just because we always knew he's an asshole doesn't mean we can't be happy that he's gone.
Rumor that Michigan is throwing the checkbook at Harbaugh. 6 years 49 million. Would make him the highest paid coach incollegefootball.
This is great news.Not coaching but Steve Pederson is out as the Pitt AD.

Contacting Greg Schiano means you get fired.

Deferring to Tom Osborne's greatness is what got Nebraska in this mess to begin with. Nothing in Tom Osborne's career ever led us to believe he was any more qualified to hire a coach or head an administration than Steve Pederson was. But Pederson was an evil outsider and Tom Osborne is National Championship Trophy Winning Jesus.
I never tolerated that behavior, anyone who has seen my posts on Utopia over the years would know that. I also know you're bright enough to realize a lot more went into Bo Pelini's tenure than him being an unmitigated jackass. Nebraska as an institution "tolerated" it because up until last year, Bo Pelini's boss was the guy that hired him. Nebraska fans may not have like Pelini's antics, but Tom Osborne is God to them and if Tom Osborne said he was handling it (which he did many times), Nebraska fans would defer to him.

Eichorst gave Pelini the chance to fix things, on and off the field, and he didn't and he got fired. Nebraska can and should be criticized for a lot of things, its handling of Bo Pelini is not one of them.
nobody cares if you tolerated it or not. You didn't write that letter nor did you employ him for the last 5 or 6 seasons. The people who wrote the letter and paid him millions of dollars every year tolerated it. That's the point. They only didn't tolerate it after they fired him. Gjge.
Come on dude...get out of here with the "Tom Osborne = Steve Pederson" bullshit. Tom Osborne didn't pick great coaches, but he didn't pick Bill Callahan. Solich was a decent coach and there was a lot more upside to Pelini than downside. TO is a class act through and through. You can't pin all of this on him. This is Harvey Pearlman's mess...Tom Osborne got dragged back into in 2007 so Harvey could save his own ass. Tom went with what seemed like the "safe" pick...can you blame him? He probably didn't want to be involved in the first place.
Sure, but $1,500,000 > $160,000
At no point did I say Tom Osborne = Steve Pederson, what I did say is that Steve Pederson took most of the criticism for fucking up Nebraska football and Tom Osborne has gotten off clean for tolerating Bo Pelini's bullshit. Why?
OK, you're right....Go after the only living vestige from the glory years with torches and pitchforks. Let's make sure that Tom Osborne knows the rath of Husker nation before he dies because he didn't make the right coaching decisions. It seems to me that Tom Osborne paved the way for Bo to get fired by getting out of the way to letting SE make the decision. Everybody knew that TO wasn't going to fire Bo...Nobody was realistically talking about that when he was AD any way. The demise of Bo started with the Big Ten championship game in 2012, and TO was already transitioning out of things by that point. So who fucking cares if he defended Bo whenever the local press stuck a microphone in his face? He's not the type of guy that is going to throw another coach under the bus.
We really do have the worst fucking fans in the country. I don't know why TO bothers to live in this state any more...the dude gets called upon any time our program is trouble and then half the state pisses and moans when they don't like his decision. If I was him, I'd just tell the entire state to fuck off and go fishing in Colorado. Bo did get one thing right...our fans are fucking idiots.
Youngstown State's corch who was just fired made 250K a year. I would bet that Pelini will make like 400-500K. And whatever side money laundering Tressel convinced him to go to that shit hole of a college.
Would love to hear what you guys would say about the people who just fired you. What Pelini did was less than classy but give me a break, the dude just got shit canned.

Bill Jennings also went on a rant when he got fired...so maybe it is "old school" in a way.
Yes, I listened to the full audio earlier this evening. When I read the transcript, I imagined him shouting the entire thing with a vein popping out of his neck. His tone was a lot more measured. His use of "cunt", "fuck", "pussy" and "dick" even came off as objective criticisms. What was inexcusable was when he said, "I don't think Nebraska has a plan and I don't know what is going to happen." That sort of needless speculation is poison. It also was a bunch of self-serving nonsense...he kept saying "I am here for you guys (the players)", yet he would always turn the subject back to being about himself.
Bunch of TL/DR posts by entitled prick mongs up in here.
I haven't listened to it and am not going to.
It sounds like maybe he did it in a "private" closed door meeting, that wasn't truly one, in order to try and circumvent the non-disparagement clause. If I were Nebraska I'd assert that he had violated the clause and make him come fight me for his monies.
The real question isnt whether or not Nebraska handled this the right way but if Pelini is 100% right.
I lol'd even more that Nebraska even dignified Bo's trog rant with a real response. What a bunch of Jake Turkeys you have in that program. Such offended by Bo, So wow.
If I was the AD, my response would have been the following:
Dear Bo,
Sincerely,
Cunt
Instead we got some country bumpkin reply all about men of character and other such bullshit. LMAO.
That is one sick financial management BURN.Oh god, if only. I'm guessing they went with the men of character bullshit because the theme of Bo's entire rant was integrity and values while at the same time calling his boss a cunt. I would have much preferred your way.
Wonder what Bo is going to do when the buyout money is gone and he realizes he's making $250K a year to corch Penguins at who gives a fuck state while Jim Tressel watches his every move.
