Nebraska fired Coach Bo Pelini on Sunday on the heels of a 9-3 campaign that included late-season losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota that dissolved the Cornhuskers' chances of playing in the Big Ten championship game.
Pelini's firing is effective immediately, Nebraska Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst said in a statement.
"Earlier this morning, I informed Coach Bo Pelini of our decision to move forward in a new direction. Coach Pelini served our university admirably for seven years and led our football program's transition to the Big Ten Conference. We wish Coach Pelini and his wonderful family all the best and thank him for his dedicated service to the university."
Pelini served as Nebraska head coach for seven seasons, compiling a 66-27 overall record and a 3-3 record in bowl games.
Pelini recorded at least nine wins in each of his seasons with the Cornhuskers. However, Nebraska, which has won five national titles in college football, the last coming in 1997, was never in the hunt for a championship under Pelini. The Cornhuskers have failed to win a conference title since 1999.
Nebraska started the season 8-1 and was tied at the top of the Big Ten West Division standings until it suffered a 59-24 blowout loss at Wisconsin on Nov. 15. The Cornhuskers then lost at home to Minnesota before closing out conference play Friday with a 37-34 overtime win over Iowa.
Nebraska has yet to announce who will coach the team for its upcoming bowl game. The university has scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. PST.
