You missed the number one reason for firing Pelini. Eichorst could see that Bo was going to make it over the hump next year and had to act quickly. See Shawn has taken vows of celibacy and poverty and, if the football team were actually to win anything of substance (like they were obviously poised to do next season with Bo, Beck, and Paps) the riches and women would have rained down on Eichorst and he just couldn't live that way. So, he picked the absolute worst coach he could find (just ask BigRedPowerWagon or 74Hunter) and discreetly sabotaged any chance of the football program winning a title. It's a no brainer if ya think about it.
