- Wasn't willing to put in the time it took to adjust to modern college football
- Did an awful job teaching his defense
- Defense didn't buy in and lay it on the line for him
- Attrition

In Coach O's defense, he hired Pelini before the pandemic hit (and killed the spring practices).


Understand that. Even without the pandemic and the impact of it, making that kind of a switch is going to take some time. This is why that switch is usually only made when a team is already in the dumps.

Miss St. also had no spring and was installing a new offense.


And caught us completely flat footed in the first game. And ended up 3-7, two games worse than us.

You forgot the biggest part, the game has passed Pelini. Guy is clueless now.

A different time different type of athlete.Pelini is from a different school he lost his ability to communicate effectively with players, that’s one and he refused to change his defense to fit the players
