Nebraska dismisses Bo Pelini
Nebraska has fired Bo Pelini after seven seasons, the school announced Sunday morning. A news conference with athletics director Shawn Eichorst is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Pelini never finished with fewer than nine wins at Nebraska, but he never lifted the Cornhuskers into the national championship discussion. His tenure was marked with tension over those expectations, and Pelini's inability to win games against top competition ultimately doomed him.
Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst has dismissed Head Football Coach Bo Pelini effective immediately. Press conference 1pm.

Nebraska was 8-1 this season with a chance to win the western division of the Big Ten but got embarrassed 59-24 at Wisconsin on Nov. 15, then followed it up with a 28-24 loss at home to Minnesota the next week.
Even though Nebraska came back to beat Iowa in overtime last Friday to finish the regular season 9-3, the school decided to go in a different direction.
Pelini finished with a 67-27 overall record.
