It's been half a season. It doesn't take that much time. These kids have been playing football for most of there lives. A play book and an offensive doesn't take years to learn. The guy calling the plays looks like he needs to learn his own system because running the same plays that doesn't work week after week is why this team is losing. If the fans think that a few new players coming in can change the apathy on both sides of the ball then they are dreaming. Its talent in this team, the coaches simply doesn't know how to use it.

Lets talk economics…and that's all you have to talk about regarding whether or not you think Pelini should be shown the door (I do not think he should, even though I think coaching was a HUGE part in this loss).  He does not get fired after 1 year because?  We would have to buy out his contract!  I don't know how closely you follow the program, but we have a pretty large debt service commitment on a new building on the north side of campus which doesn't have a name.  So let be conservative and say his buy-out is not his entire remaining base contract but does he leave with less than $500k?  I don't think so.  Then you have to hire a new coach at at least $450k?  Not going to happen.  $1 million dollars in coaching commitments, plus debt service?  Did we get a new booster named Boone Pickens or Phil Knight?  To suggest he is going to be fired after one year (whether Chun wants him gone or not) is just wasting key strokes…time to move on.
