MLB 51 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The only guy I would take over Bo is Urban Meyer. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thats what i've been saying. All the great coaches are coaching great teams. Its hard to find someone that could replace Bo right now Short list of unemployed coaches: Urban Meyer Mike Leach Mark Mangino For your short list knapp. Meyer-no way. He freaked about firing Frank after a 9 win season, and look at Bo's win total so far. Leach and Mangino- they both would be chastized by this conservative state after their pasts, and hence knowing these two names would come up I threw in the "nebraska way" because every genious on here wants to get back to the 90's . ANd these two guys wouldn't fit that "criteria" I don't think anyone is trying to "go back to the 1990's" but people want a team that competes for conference titles and that isn't happening right now. We are not in the crappy Big 12 north and winning the division isn't a given. I know I personally don't give a rat's ass about "the Nebraska way" because that way is dead. People need to realize that TO didn't have any assistants that are good enough to win at a school like NU and that era is over. I present to you the years 2009 and 2010. And you've given us one year to adjust to the Big Ten, that's fair. Nice Boexcuse there. They also had to adjust to us too. But it's not hard to adjust to a team that lacks discipline and isn't prepared to play the majority of their schedule. Difference here: 11 teams adjusting to 1 team vs. 1 team adjusting to 11 teams.

People need to realize that TO didn't have any assistants that are good enough to win at a school like NU and that era is over. We are not in the Big XII North, we are in the winnable Legends division. It's a tougher division, but we can compete and win it... but we could also have used a break from the Big Ten Brass on the schedule. Pitting Nebraska against the very best teams the Big Ten can muster in each of its first two years isn't fair. We're the n00bs, so we have to run the gauntlet. This year has been an emotional roller coaster, and many of the players are out of gas right now. Add in injuries and NO WEEKS OFF, and you have... this. Not making excuses. Just saying it is what it is. When 2013 rolls around and our SOS drops in half, we'll likely see very different results. What is sad is the Big 10 is down this year and still could not do it. I am scared I will start thinking like Big ten people and the roses as the almighty bowl. I get that, but remember that this is the first year Beck is an OC. It's our first time in the Big Ten, and we are completely unfamiliar with both the teams we are playing and with the venues we're playing in. We're also unfamiliar with the officiating, and it's pretty clear we're getting no breaks from the officials so far. Lots of stuff against us right now. Hopefully time fixes many of those things, and does so quickly. If not, it's time for the torches and pitchforks. Quote Link to comment

By then Michigan will be a top 10 team and we will still have walk ons starting. It won't matter, NU still wont' win the division. How can you make that judgement? Edit: Sorry, how do you come to that judgement? Look at the recruiting class that UM is bringing in and how good Hoke has them playing now with the limited talent that they have now. Then look at our coaches have only used 25 of our 55 allotted visits and it's not hard to see who is going to bring in the better players. This staff just doesn't take recruiting seriously enough and it's already showing. 1 Quote Link to comment
AFhusker Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Washington was a quality win, and so was Ohio State; and, we beat Penn State, which makes for two wins against highly ranked teams. Only way I can see Bo going is if the team has some complete meltdown and he loses the team completely. I want Bo to stay, I just don't see him leaving. If he does leave, it will be in the unfortunate circumstance that we've completely imploded and nobody wants that to happen. If it does, knock on wood, I think Boise's HC, Chris Peterson, would be the best option for us. Washington isnt that great of a team. They have lost 4 games, almost lost to division 2 eastern washington, only won by 8 against hawaii and cal who also arent good. Ohio State lost to purde and ohio state didnt have their best players against us. Penn State hasnt played anyone. Michigan State has been our only quality win, imo. Ohio State also beat Wisconsin And lost to Purdue and Miami. Which makes us look that much worse by getting our asses handed to us by them. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 This staff just doesn't take recruiting seriously enough and it's already showing. Taylor Martinez. Rex Burkhead. Lavonte David. The Freshman RB Trio. I could go on and on. Saying this staff doesn't take recruiting seriously isn't supported by the facts. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'll say this: If Bo doesn't get to the CCG and at least have a good performance there next year, he will be on the hot seat. Let's revisit in 13 months. For now, let's beat Iowa and play focused and disciplined in a bowl game. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The in-season approach towards recruiting is very Solich-esque. I am sure they take recruiting seriously, but the approach is what I would question. Quote Link to comment

Do the math Nobody in this conference is a top 10 team so it's not like we are running a gauntlet or anything. This is the worst this conference has been in the last 20 years and we still have lost three games. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Didnt read the whole, but why the hell would anyone want a washed up and sick Urban Meyer? Why did he quit on Florida to begin with when he had it all. Why would any school want him. Even if he were to accept a job, what happens? He comes in, probably has some success, maybe, just MAYBE wins a title, and then gives it up again. I'd prefer we stick with something that's long term which is what Bo is, unless of course some of you idiots dont get off his a__ that might change. The way things are today, Nebraska is a consistent 8-10 win team. That is the way it is. Will never be worse, and will never be better. Sit back and be thankful it's that good and that we run a clean program. Quote Link to comment

The Freshman RB Trio. I could go on and on. Saying this staff doesn't take recruiting seriously isn't supported by the facts. Lance Thorell, Cassidy say differently. Read my other post about the official visits. Taylor sucks and two players doesn't make up for the rest of the team being average at best. Read my last post about wasting 30 official visits, it's Solich recruiting all over again. And what good does it do to have that freshman trio when they don't play? They are wasting away on the sideline. And don't get me started about the misuse of Turner. Quote Link to comment

So youre saying that if we go 11-1 next year, and say our lone loss is to a team that represents our division in the championship game, and we get an at large bcs, that he's on the hot seat. Thats really stupid. Quote Link to comment
