AD Shawn Eichorst issues a statement

[VectorVictor]

What the best administrators and coaches have in common is a consistent commitment to teaching young minds to do things the right way and to instill a values system that emphasizes hard work, discipline, loyalty, teamwork, compassion and excellence. Those principles coupled with a positive attitude generally result in championships.

That's quite a culture change from previous regime.

^ Agree. We'll get there -- at least, we won't suffer a program we can't be proud of in the meantime.

Would anyone trade this season for another typical 9-win season under Bo? I suspect many would. I don't see what's all that special about being unranked that makes us Nebraska fans accept that amount of boorishness and lack of class for the guy representing the university, and placed in charge of its student-athletes.

Between the talent and the mentality Bo left in place, I believe a brick-by-brick rebuild is right. Talent wise, no -- even better management and recruiting isn't going to dramatically transform the raw talent blueprint. Mentality wise, the thing more crucial and defining for a team's performance, absolutely and totally.

"I think we have kids in our program that are capable of winning championships."

Shawn Eichorst, November 30, 2014.

Even Eichorst is calling bulls*** on you (and himself) as of last year. Why you continue to defend him appears to be some sort of demented Stockholm Syndrome, it appears.

 

[VectorVictor]

Bo was right about this much: Eichorst is a total pu&&y and a c&&t.

And even if Bo was right, it still doesn't mean he was justified in how he left town and aired his dirty laundry.

There probably are a couple of kids in our program that are capable of winning championships. Unfortunately there are only about 5, when you need about 40 or 50.

We have a two-deep full of kids that were capable of winning the B1G West, had they been coached and led effectively.

Some would trade this season for having Pelini back and being 7-2 or whatever. But a lot of people wouldn't. I'd go 0-12 for years before I wanted Pelini back.

That's demented.

Some things are more important than wins.

You didn't see me say that, did you? I merely said that he was right about his assessment of Eichorst.

Which kids, and why did it not happen last year then?

So we're in agreement then?

Dear Husker Family,

Good morning.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to every Husker fan who has come to Memorial Stadium this season to cheer on the Big Red; who has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to proudly wear the red and white in visiting stadiums; and who has passionately supported our student-athletes, our head coach, our assistant coaches and staff. Your support and patience as Mike Riley rebuilds our storied program one brick at a time mean the world to our young men, our staff and our university.

While many are understandably disappointed in the current record of the football team and the heartbreakingly close losses we have suffered, I am confident the future is bright because I see it in the eyes of our players, coaches and staff and I am impressed by what I know is going on behind the scenes. Our coaches are developing our student-athletes and, though the consistent victories are not there yet, I am confident they will come. I have witnessed how our young men battle every day in practice and fight to the finish on game days in the face of great adversity. Football can be a humbling game of inches and seconds and our players have laid everything on the line while making no excuses. The prospective student-athletes looking to make Nebraska home possess athletic talent, academic potential, and high character making for a bright future. Coach Riley has a vision and a plan and is committed to providing the Husker faithful with a sustained winner which will compete annually for championships.

As I have said many times, it is an honor and privilege to represent Nebraska, and I am humbled and care deeply about the men and women I have a chance to work with every day here. The incredible amount of hours they put in and the sacrifices they all make to represent Nebraska are truly remarkable. In two decades as a student-athlete and athletics administrator, I have had the opportunity to learn and work alongside some incredible people at five different institutions. What the best administrators and coaches have in common is a consistent commitment to teaching young minds to do things the right way and to instill a values system that emphasizes hard work, discipline, loyalty, teamwork, compassion and excellence. Those principles coupled with a positive attitude generally result in championships.

Your continued support is what makes Nebraska special and together, we will do great things. Thank you again for your incredible passion and support. We look forward to another home sellout and an electric environment on Saturday as we come together to cheer on our team against Michigan State.

Have a great week and Go Big Red!

Shawn Eichorst

[huskerfan92]

Says he doesn't comment on coaches during the season.....this is now his 2nd public statement of the year.

 

[jsneb83]

I'm guessing he emailed this to everybody.

So, is SE now saying that Bo was an amazing coach to squeeze 9 and 10 wins out of these kids that need to be rebuilt?

Show me the person that thinks the player meeting was a good idea? I mean, I get where Pelini was coming from and I understand his anger, but of course that wasn't the right way to do things. Acknowledging that the guy was right about something is not an endorsement of him or his behavior.

The last gasps of a desperate man who is about to lose his job... and deservedly so.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

It's nitpicking I know, but it's scarlet and cream jerk, not red and white....................what a B.S. statement. We're screwed until this guy is gone and Perlman is gone.
