  1. Lane is started to use the speech patterns, bob his head, move his hands, and find things to complain about the same way as Saban. Count me in.
  2. this is not a commentary on anything that has happened since Bo got fired. Separate issues to me. But this interview confirmed everything I didn’t like about Bo and why I think he sucks at being in charge of things in general. Glad he’ll never come back.
  3. I guess I should have read this before I posted, but I actually thought it would be the other way around, with Walters taking over as HC. Either way, if Frost comes it's not surprising if they both stay in Orlando.
  4. That is interesting since his current DC Erik Chinander has a very good reputation and came with Frost from Oregon. He also spent some time coaching in Iowa. Maybe he's staying. I was definitely cool with Chinander coming along as DC, but I'll take Grinch in a heartbeat over him.
  5. Wait, wut? If Chip Kelly leaves the whole staff will likely be fired by the new head coach, and Frost will move on to some other program. Do you mean if Mark Helfrich the Oregon OC leaves? Or are you saying that a new head coach would fire Helfrich and promote Frost to OC? I guess it *could* happen. But who could possibly know that? lol I can believe that's a rumor there in Duckland. But I doubt it would actually play out that way.
  6. Ha ha. I used to live next to that art piece.
  7. Actually, I shot this video. It was on a Tuesday morning in early March.
  8. That's not true, he developed two. Ganz and Taylor were both products of his system. Beck bolting was all about Harrison Beck. Gabbert decommitted when Callahan's job security became 0. Freeman ... was classless in his decommittment. I don't know if I would say Suh would have been a 4th round pick. He probably was going to be a beast regardless! Maybe not top 2, but still a first rounder or second rounder, would be likely. I mean, Adam Carriker's only years of significance came under Callahan's tenure (three years: 04-06). Is that to say Carriker blossomed under his coaching staff? Or he was just that good and a physical specimen who was going to have a high chance at success no matter what. Taylor was not a product of the system. He was a bandaid we brought in from JuCo until Beck was supposedly ready to take over. Ganz was a product of the system that BC had little to no faith. This is why he brought in another bandaid QB Sam Keller. Product of the system or bandaid or whatever. Taylor still won Big XII player of the year his senior year.
  9. Zac Taylor is one of my all time favorite Huskers. He might be on of the top two or three toughest QBs we've ever had (not that I go back all that far).
  10. yeah, but you've got 7-8 built in wins there w/ our cup-cake non-con schedule. (i know every team does as well). but when you look at the games that actually matter, we're sitting at like 12-8ish. And recently those losses have been getting worse and worse. Fine we played Texas close over two years ago. This year our losses to good opponents were not competitive. Last year we lost in a crappy bowl game, imploded in the second half against OU, lost embarrassingly to A&M (possibly the turning point to the negative for Bo's career), and the Texas game was crap. Really the last time we could say "it sucks we lost, but I applaud our effort" was the Texas championship game. It might not be fair to just look at the losses in the past two years, but it's looking an awful lot like a bad trend that needs to be cut off before it gets even worse.
  11. , lol. Bo knows one type of defense extremely well, but can't adjust it to defend different kinds of offenses. In addition, Bo is on of the best defensive minds in the game only when he has All Americans like Glenn Dorsey, Patrick Peterson, Suh, and Amukamara- none of whom he recruited. I will give him credit for Lavonte, but he really had nowhere else to go. Checkmate no way. you forgot rook to queen seven, or something. BO does know defense, what he does not know, what no one knows, is how to tailor a defense to completely stop a type of offense in a particular conference and then tailor the exact same defense in one off season to stop a completely different offense in a completely different conference. give him some time to adjust to the new conference and some credit for what he did this year. i would guess it will be easier for him the stop the B1G offenses when he has the personnel and time than it was to stop the Big 12 offenses, which were just lighting up defenses. it is unfair to criticize him for only being able to stop the spread, and silly. he effectively stopped the spread and when he had all the personnel he needed on the field, he has to drastically adjust for a completely different style of play. I don't like the "new conference" argument. Northwestern runs the spread as does Michigan (for a little while longer) as does Purdue. NW is not Michigan is not Wisconsin is not Ohio St and on. I don't think there is such a thing as "conference offenses". Each school is going to have their own style. NW has been a spread for many years now. Michigan doesn't want to be spread anymore, but they are able to adapt to their personnel. MSU and Iowa are "traditional" offenses. Most schools get the best athletes they can and adjust accordingly, which is something Bo has not fully done yet.

I will give him credit for Lavonte, but he really had nowhere else to go. Bo didn't have Patrick Peterson. Doesn't make a huge difference in your overall point, but I'm just correcting that. You're right. I meant Laron Landry, who Bo had for a brief time.
