Bo Pelini fired after 7 seasons with Cornhuskers

 LINCOLN, Neb. - (AP) -- Bo Pelini was fired as Nebraska's football coach on Sunday after a seven-year stint marked by an inability to restore the program to national prominence and too many embarrassing defeats.

Pelini extended his streak of winning at least nine games every season with a 37-34 overtime win at Iowa on Friday but he never won a conference championship and his teams lost four games in every season he completed.

Pelini was 66-27 and led the Cornhuskers to three league championship games in the Big 12 and Big Ten.

"I didn't see enough improvement in areas that were important for us to move forward and play championship-caliber football," athletic director Shawn Eichorst said at a news conference. "We weren't good enough in games that mattered against championship-caliber opponents."
