Locked due to no posts in 60 days. Report 1st post if need unlocked Are any of the new recruits upset?

[HuskerGene]

Has anyone heard if anyone is upset, or maybe they knew before signing that there might be a change?

 

[Red Reign]

Not me....I suspect they all knew...

 

[CombatTargeteer]

any parents upset?

 

[Huskerpilk]

Evidently Charles Jackson is not happy. Check main page article.

Evidently Charles Jackson is not happy. Check main page article.

But, as he states in the article he's still exticted about nebraska even without Coach Sanders. And please read the full article, not just the headline. The article reveals a kid who is confused/concerned about the situation... but he doesn't seem to be raging angry as the Article title might imply.

I'm not sure there was anything for the recruits to be told about the Marvin Sanders situation. What do you tell them? "Coach Sanders is under investigation for something, he might be fired, or he might resign, or it might be ok". I'm guessing the writing was on the wall so Coach Pelini did the prudent thing and came up with a contingency plan for a replacement coach but while things were not yet settled or decided upon, he couldn't tell a 17-18 year old kid the situation.

Lets summarize. 1. Sanders has apparently done something of the magnitude that requires that he no longer work for the university. 2. His resigning allows the university not to make that reason public, which benefits Sanders significantly, and the university to a lesser extent. If he did not resign, the university might have had to show cause in not renewing his contract. 3. Pellini was put in the unenviable position of having to deal with this issue at the height of recruiting season. Once you let a recruit know that a coach may be leaving, it is all over the media, raising questions among all recruits about the stability of the program.

Bo Pellini's first responsibility is to the football program of the University of Nebraska. He did not cause this situation, but had to deal with it at perhaps the most delicate moment of the football calendar. For those ripping Bo for a lack of integrity, consider that he did not throw Sanders under the bus, even though that would have made his job easier. That speaks of personal loyalty to me.

For all those ripping Bo for not having the stones to fire Watson, guess what, it sure looks like he has done just that. Some of you may wish that he had been hung, drawn and quartered, but instead, Pellini gave Watson and Gilmore two months to seek other jobs. Personal loyalty again, and very decent of him.

I agree again with Combat Yeoman when he says read the article again. The headline is inflammatory, because that is what sells papers (draws traffic in online speak). I am not at all concerned about Pellini's ability to make Chatelain and others happy. His first responsibility to the the program, not to them. Chatelain's first responsibility is to the marketing department of the OWH, to write to sell papers. Period.

Very nicely stated and couldn't agree more!

Since recruiting is about relationships, then Bo, or at least Coach Sanders should have let the kids know he was going to be gone. Sounds like they were afraid of losing some commits so they hid it from the recruits. IMHO, Sanders threw Bo under the bus.
