[Husker] can't we just move on

[Ken Oliver]

At the risk of offending everyone...

The following two paragraphs in various forms and from various posters have appeared dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the past FOUR years. I bear no animosity toward any of the posters and I know people are passionate about this, but in all likelihood, minds are made up on this topic and no one is going to change his/her mind at this point.  Can't we just move on?

Paragraph one:

Regarding the 9-3 season, it was quite a farce.  We beat about 9 BAD teams and got smoked by 3 good ones.  Were we improved, yes.  Were we anywhere near where we needed to be, no.  Would Solich have ever been able to get us there, I don't know, but I don't think so.  Once he was given the chance to rework his staff, he probably should have been given another year or two to see if it worked or put another way, "To prove it wouldn't work" like Pedey believed it wouldn't.

Paragraph two:

When you fire a coach in a 9-3 season with 75% career winning record
and who less two years earlier had the team in the BCS Championship
game, IT'S A RISKY AND FOOLISH MISTAKE!!  It would have been a mistake
to fire Devaney; it would have been a mistake to fire Osborne; it was
A MISTAKE to fire Solich.
