He's the odds-on favorite to land the job, and someone I know that's close to Tressel told me that the only two jobs he'd consider leaving retirement for are PSU and Nebraska, and that he was disappointed a year ago to not get the call for the PSU job.

Hope I'm wrong, because he'd really screw up our Ohio recruiting.

Yes, you are wrong because Tressel still has an active show cause from tO$U mess.

Well, I guess Nebraska could try to actually show some cause. That would be interesting...and unprecedented. I guess anything's possible after the NCAA caved on Ped State sanctions. Pelini Fired... - Page 2 2599972566

UT has struggled to be relevant since. Big time college football is all about "what have you done for me lately" - hell, at the beginning of last season, MSU fans were booing it's own coaches/players.

Nebraska, as with a lot of schools, better be careful of what they wish for.

UN already played this game once. It got them Bill Callahan.

I still believe this is a long range play by him to follow Urban at tOSU. Sets himself up to win a lot, works for Tressel who still has many supporters in Columbus, renews his ties all over Ohio/PA for recruiting, etc, etc.

Interesting theory. How long until Urban's next health scare forces him into re-retirement?

And apparently went scorched-earth, burned-bridges on his way out:

According to a transcript of the audio, Pelini told the players he wasn't surprised to be fired.

"I didn't really have any relationship with the AD. The guy...," Pelini said before using two vulgarities for female genitalia to describe Eichorst.

"And since I've been here — he's been here for about two years — I've probably had a conversation with the guy a couple times. You saw him. He's never been in the locker room.

"At the end of the day, he was never going to support us... The scrutiny, the taking shots at you, and everything else — when you aren't getting support from your boss, it can be stressful," Pelini said. "It was stressful on me, it was stressful on my family."

The university, in response to Pelini's contention that he wasn't supported, said, "Any assertions that the campus or athletics administration was not supportive of our student-athletes and our football program are flat-out false and are contradicted by the facts.

"We are grateful that the new leadership in our football program is aligned with our values and will establish that you can be successful at Nebraska and that you can do it with integrity and class," the university said in its statement.

Pelini ripped Neb's AD in last talk with players

Here is a link to the full transcript of his rant to his players.

http://deadspin.com/bo-pelini-calls-nebraska-ad-shawn-eichorst-a-****-and-1672429820

The language isn't even that bad. But talk about knowing your audience and highly inappropriate, holy shit this dude is fucking dumb. It's one thing to rip the AD. But it is obvious he only gives a shit about himself. He tries a couple of times to say how much he cares about the guys in the room, but then immediately plays the 'woe is me card'. What a complete douche (shocker I know)

Pelini wrote:At the end of the day, what I wanted to make sure, if there was gonna be a change, that I would have time to get on my feet. They gotta pay me. They gotta pay our assistants over the next uh, they have time to get jobs. At the end of the day fellas, if they weren't gonna support us.

And I said what I said to him and I'll tell you what I told him. When I went in there and he said we are gonna make a change, and I said Alright. I said, you are gonna honor my contract? Yeah. You are gonna honor my assistant coaches contracts? He said Yeah

Pelini wrote:What I'm concerned about is you guys (players), and that is all I care about.

I want you guys all to know that I've been through this before, ya know. I'll be fine. Between you guys, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I might just stay right here and leave my kids in school. I already have a couple job offers. I don't know what I...what I want to do. Not sure what I want to do. Not making any big decisions.

My biggest concern is, as you guys are concerned, is my wife and kids and making sure they are happy. I'm sure all you guys are going through, what am I gonna do? I've been there as a player. I was young when it happened with me. Right after my redshirt freshman year at Ohio St, there was a coaching change. I stayed...but a lot of guys left. And it worked out both ways.

by **Blanch32** 2014-12-18, 07:41

Pussies like Nordic and the Nebraska AD are what's wrong with this country. Say what ever you want, but pelini is anything but a coward and definitely would not have pulled that interview movie if he was sony

That's why one should enjoy what we have here right now. Even at a place so rich in REAL tradition and non-imaginary and modern day National Championships like USC, things can turn to shit quickly.
