The Troof Hurts
HIRING Solich was the big mistake. He was over-matched. IMO, Tom Osborne shares a lot of blame for forcing Solich on the AD rather than having a national search. In 1997, NU could have had their pick of outstanding HC's. Now look at us.

Probably hiring Pederson was the biggest mistake.
ReplyBo Pelini lit a fire under the defense in his first year as DC. Nebraska would have been awesome the next year. I would have loved to have seen that.
ReplyWe don't know what would have happened, but it could not have been any worse. We have been foundering since his firing. Scott Frost has a big job in pulling us out of the muck. He'll get it done.
ReplyFrank knows Nebraska football inside and out Peterson was an idiot and should’ve kept Frank. Peterson never should have been hired at Nebraska He was a total and complete idiot
ReplyFiring Frank got us away from our roots and our identity. O & D schemes change but an identity shouldn't. SF is trying to bring it back now after all these years.
Replyvery obvious
ReplyPederson was one of two arrogant Husker ADs trying to make a name for himself. Moral: Don't fire 9 win coaches.
ReplyHistory tells the story. We are just now getting out of the hole.
ReplyCallahan dismantled everything that made Nebraska, Nebraska. And almost 20 years later, we are just starting to get back what was lost...
ReplyThey had a winning record every year during his tenure.
