Several of the Nebraska Cornhusker football players took to social media to air athletic director Shawn Eichorst out for his abrupt firing of head coach Bo Pelini.
Offensive lineman Matthew Finnin did the most crushing damage, accusing Eichorst of posturing for the Wisconsin athletics directors job.
Stupidest goddamn decision I've ever seen, heard, or been a part of.

This'll go down as the worst decision Eichorst will make in his career. He don't care tho. Just biding his time til Wisconsin opens up.

At the end of the day Bo was the only one who gave a shit about us. You think Eichorst or Pearlman gave a shit? All they care about is $$$

I can guarantee not one of us has ever even had a conversation with either of them.

Most wins by any coach in the last seven years in college football… What just happened man

So the fate of our program lies in the hands of a man who is only here until the Wisconsin AD job opens up. This should turn out well

Ndamukong Suh voiced his opinion!
The leadership issues at the University of Nebraska extend above the Head Football Coach's office.
