Im willing to bet he went down with his assistants. Kinda similar of how Callahan went down in flames with his cronies.

Footballscoop is reporting that it was more of a mutual thing than one would think. Bo basically went to SE and told him things couldn't continue on like it had the past year. No word, though, on potential staff changes to save Bo's job.

Doc, this has to resonate with you more than most. Could you expand on your thoughts?

I concur there will be some setbacks and recruits previously committed will go elsewhere. However, this change was needed because the program had become complacent. There will be challenges with this move, but with challenges comes opportunities. And who is to say that whoever the new coach is won't be better?

Any coaching change will hurt recruiting. Bo's recruiting class probably wouldn't do him much good anyways seeing how he has the best offensive and defensive player in the conference and could only barely finish 3rd in his division.
Let's just hope for a good hire. If you are right and we botch this again, it won't be good. We will see.
Name all the Division 1 programs that have fired a head coach with a winning percentage north of 70, coming off a 9-3 regular season.
Now name a University that has done it TWICE.
There is only one.
The damage done to the reputation of this University and the fickleness of its Administration and fanbase is staggering. It will be used against Nebraska in recruiting, (it already has in 2014, and now will increase tenfold), and will prove a huge disincentive for any coaching hire.
Those predicting a 6-win regular season in 2015 may just get their wish.

A coaching change under these circumstances was unprecedented until 2003, and now, Nebraska (Perlman) has done it AGAIN.
If I was the AD, and looking for a new head football coach I would take a very long, thorough look through the FCS, Junior College, and even high school ranks. Find a successful coach, with a proven track record of winning, whose teams are consistently well-coached, and play hard/physical.
Just unbelievable...only time in my life I've been emberassed of how the program is run and its fans.
Solly, you are not being fair. Even the outside world was starting to snicker at us for having Pelini on the sidelines. We were becoming a national joke and as a program with so much pride, having the world laughing at us and just accepting it is not an option. We may hire Dobber himself and continue to be a joke but at least we won't take it willingly.
Teams are setting Nebraska and NCAA records on us. It was time.
Make the right hire, someone who will put a quality product on the field, and people will get behind it. This too shall pass.

Notre Dame tried that once. Major mistake. I hope Nebraska isn't that desperate.

Solly, Bo did it to himself. He had 7 years and didnt win a conference title or went to a BCS bowl.
