     I can only come to the conclusion you would rather hurl insults than 
post an honorable, disagreeing, and insightful post.  Solich is long gone 
never to coach at NU again.  His was a unique circumstance for a lot of 
reasons that have already been discussed as nauseum.  Pellini was here one 
year and never intended to be a long term NU coach.  I thank God every night 
Bo wasn't named the Head Coach.  If you think the program is a mess now 
Pellini would have been a disaster.  And Ostergard, he is a trainer for 
crying out loud.  Who cares who the trainer is?


     You have pointed to only three people in the football program.  You 
haven't delineated progress in the total athletic department.  Let me know 
when you would like to do that and we can have that discussion.  I believe 
the entirety of the athletic program is in great shape and for a lot of that 
Pederson is the reason.  Pederson is the Athletic Director and not just the 
Football Director.  It is very possible the football program needed a house 
cleaning.
