if anyone should have taken out a full page ad and thanked NU for his job it's Harvey Pearlman. Think about where NU football has gone under his watch, the firing of not one but two 9-3 head coaches only to be follow by the AD's man (AD who Harv hired) had losing seasons. If you really want to look at the goat who sold out NU, it is Harv. Now we witnessed what NU used to do to other teams when we played U Dub. I saw a team that just flat ran out of gas in the fourth quarter on defense, I watch a career 500 coach act surprised he is under the gun.
It is just sad that the president of NU and the ruling body allowed Pearlman to keep his job. The only thing Harvey did that was smart was bringing Tom in as AD. But Harvey following his own rule, hired a clone of Steve Pederson to be AD. fires a 9-3 head coach (admitting has sideline issues) but he was still 9-3. Steve Pederson part 2 goes on a self guided tour to find a 9-3 head coaches replacement and hires the nicest coach in America however that coach as never proven he can win a the college level. I have no doubt that Mike is an excellent x's and o's guy but he seems perfectly comfortable losing games (guess a long career of that would get any coach comfortable losing).
Harvey's piss poor stewardship of NU isn't limited to Football. Under his watch NU was kicked out of an illustrious academic group that all other big 10 schools belong.
Now here we are at the brink of yet one more coaching change (were are we, 5 coaches since 2003?) and a team that can no longer compete with the U Dub's of the college football universe. Whoever takes over the helm of our Team has a huge mountain to climb. As a fan, I have gotten to the point where I just want them to be competitive. I can hardly believe I could type that!
I will always be a Husker fan and will never root for them to lose so a coach can be terminated. However we are years away from being relevant in the college football universe. And Harvey, that is on you!!
Sorry all for my rant,
Peace!! and GO BIG RED!!!!
