Pelini: "F*** you (Nebraska) fans, f*** all of you"

Bo Pelini is a cock. Booting the douchey coaches in the B1G one by one is progress. Hopefull in a few years, Dantonio and Meyer will be gone, too.

At his press conference today, Pelini said

“I need to start having fun again. I do. It starts with me. I don’t enjoy my job — if I don’t enjoy what I’m doing — then how are they going to? With me it’s different. I don’t know if it’s the fact of not enjoying your job as it’s being so driven, so task-oriented, you lose sight of other things that need to be part of it."

Which might be honest, but sounds like someone who's been butting head with the boosters and administration for awhile.

Brutus does Robin Meade proud

Bo Pelini being a Buckeye, I'm actually impressed that he was able to restrain himself.

In Columbus, you're already telling opposing fans to fuck off by the time you're 5 years old. 

It was a private comment by a very pissed off guy. 

Say what you want about Pelini's anger issues, or defensive issues, the man is a very good football coach who wins 9-10 games a season. That's not a bad thing.

I honestly think Nebraska is better off with him than without him.

Water is wet.

Bo Pelini is abrasive.

See Yuh!

Neb has to realize...this isn't the 90's and they aren't in the Big 12 any more. Those kids from Texas and Oklahoma don't care about playing for Neb anymore.

For the loyal and crazy fanbase, in B1G terms kids are still going to pick Michigan, OSU, and PSU before Neb.

Former Bowling Green head coach Gregg Brandon had a similar tirade after the 2008 loss to Buffalo.  Had BG won, they would have won the MAC East and they were up by three possessions going into the fourth.  They coughed up the lead and lost in OT in front of less than 5,000 fans (albeit on a cold snowy windy Friday evening).  He went off on the fans and their lack of dedication in his post game conference.  The next week they waxed Toledo, their biggest rival, by four possessions.  BG dominated all day long.

The following day he was canned.

ADs cannot have their coaches hating the fans.  Fans = money = program improvements.  I have to think this is going to lead to a coaching change quickly ...

Why can't they just play football? 

He's gone.  He comitted the ultimate sin at Nebraska - defacto saying that they are a bunch of rubes out in the boonies.  They are very sensitive to being perceived as a second-rate destination.  He's made it clear he does not want to be there.  It's just a job to him, not a destination.

Good.  He should tell fans and former players to back off.  They are entitled to their opinions and he is allowed to feel that they are full of sh*t and are spoiled.  Doesn't mean he's doing his job well, but fans and former players love to bitch and moan because nothing happens to them.  It's like what happened here with RR; he didn't work out and that's on him, but the pissing and moaning by former players and the fans was just sour grapes.  It was like Braylon or Hart complaining about the coach.  I'm happy you played at UM once, but you are not in the lockerroom or the coach's office, and all you are doing is undermining a guy who is already on the outs.  So yeah, Frazier was a really good QB 15 years ago, but since then he's not been overly involved in the program it seems, and all he's doing is making a bad situation worse.

How Pelini is going to quit Nebraska

I mean he didn't actually say it. He said it took everything in him not to say it. What a chicken shit move by someone. 

is on Husker One flying to Baton Rouge.

Les Miles wife was seen looking at homesteads around Lincoln this morning.  Stay tuned and buckle up

He said this during an off-air moment when the discussion turned to fans leaving the 2011 OSU game at halftime with the Huskers down 20-6.

Some will be offended. Personally, I thought the same thing about those fans, and I'll bet everyone on this board would say the same about Michigan fans leaving at halftime when trailing an important game. But then we're not the head coach.

And it certainly provides some ammo if NU ever decides to part ways with Bo: Chancellor Harvey Perlman said, "Basically I'm very disappointed and we're considering what to do and what the impact is on our program."

This doesn't bother me that much.  He was pissed, he said- and the fans probably deserve some of it if they did indeed leave a big game like that.  He also said this "in private" it seems.

would prefer if they started recruiting guys like Lawrence Phillips and Jason Peters again. 

It's been mentioned above, but now that USC is (was?) a power, as is Stanford, and UCLA is on the rise, they're not getting stud-bolts out of Cali anymore, and since they're no longer playing the Texas schools, that pipeline's been shut off.

Regardless of who their coach is, I think the glory days might be over for that program.  Don't really see what they have to offer that can even match, let alone surpass, what other traditional powers have.

Last five recruiting classes (Rivals/ESPN rankings):

2013: #17/23

2012: #25/not in top 25 (don't have Insider, so can't see their actual #)

2011: #15/17

2010: #22/not top 25

2009: #28/not top 25

Things have not gone well for Nebraska since joining the Big Ten.  

Was it a mistake?  They have lost their fertile recruiting ground of Texas.  Fighting for scraps in Ohio is no substitute.  

They must have really hated Texas to uproot everythinjg and leave the conference they helped form.
