Agree on their fans - terrific. Was treated extremely well in Lincoln back in 2001. They kicked our ass and were almost apologetic about it.
Nebraska Under Solich: 58-19 (3 Top Ten finishes, Big12 Championship, title game appearance)
Nebraska Since Solich (2004 - Present): 143-108 (no Top Ten finishes, no conf championships)
Nebraska AD Steve Pederson on firich Solich:
“I will not let Nebraska gravitate into mediocrity. We will not surrender the Big 12 to Oklahoma and Texas. The standards at Nebraska are high, and rightly so. We need to be headed in a direction as one of the premier programs in the country. At the end of the year, I evaluated all aspects of the program, and I decided new leadership was necessary to move our program forward. We are not interested in merely maintaining what has been. We are about building a program that competes at the highest level every year. This is not just about wins and losses. This is about a championship philosophy across the board — in recruiting, in preparation, in performance, and in vision. The byproduct of excellence in every area of your program is winning, and I don't apologize for having high expectations."
How'd that work out, jackass? Pederson was fired in 2007.
