Pat Forde's top 3 coaches on the hot seat

[Eagle1]

That's my point. Took one comment to fire people up and have it cosidered a personal attack. But yet, it's ok to post opinions all over the place about someones performance, or peoples perception that there is a lack thereof, and how that person should be fired all due to OPINIONS. Opinion is one thing, and everyone has a right to it, and personal attacks are frowned upon. Yet, it's ok to attack a mans integrity, work ethic, generosity, passion, how he treats players, etc. without even truly knowing who he is or what he stands for? How about instead of wasting time trying to justify why our coach should be fired already when we haven't even played a game this season, people spend time supporting kids, coaches, and the program. And don't even start by telling me it's your (our) rights because it's a public university. Doesn't matter. I get it, it's a message board, and people have opinions. But how about supporting the man and the program instead of trying to tear it and him down? Best fans in the country we are not.

i rarely, if ever, criticize bo's generosity. not in public, at least.

[The Dude]

One thing all these "Fire Bo" threads have in common is there's very few people actually advocating that the University fires Bo. Acknowledging his job might not be completely secure is a different thing altogether.

[The Dude]

 

Yeah man, I missed the point.

 

I mean I said BCS Bowl appearance right in my original post. But even that blatant reading comprehension fail aside, if you want me to go further, here is Nebraska's final AP ranking from 73-79

Should I go on

I appreciate the information, but I'm well aware of it. Why did Osborne nearly bolt for Colorado in 1979?

 

Because, unlike Bo, he did a good enough job to have other options.

[QMany]

I don't think his job is "secure," but do we believe he is Top 3 on the hot seat? I surely don't.

[kchusker_chris]

His seat is not any hotter, nor has it been any hotter, than any other coach with his winning percentage. All coaching seats are "hot" at this level if that's the way you want to reference it.

...those are the ones batting within .100 of Bo.

 

 

Out of that entire list...the only one in there that might be on a seat as warm as Bo is maybe...and it's a big maybe: Frank Beamer. Maybe Fedora at North Carolina, or Paul Johnson at GTech but I'd say Bo has them topped, and most sportswriters obviously agree.

 

 

If anything, it goes to show you how badly Bo has handled his time as an HC. No other coach anywhere near him is an 8 win season from getting canned. But there's our dear ol' football coach, with his .707 win percentage being metioned with Muschamp (.579) or Holgorsen (.553), or Weis (.167).

[StPaulHusker]

 

 

Meh, move on folks. Nothing here to see, just another fire Bo thread. Wonder how many of you would still have your jobs if someone critqued you as closely. Not many as many of you are posting on this board while at work while you're supposed to be productive. Many of you think firing a coach and hiring someone new is always the answer, yeah because it has worked so well every other time.

great argument. win over your crowd by calling out their work ethic and then acknowledge that hiring someone new (bo was someone we hired after firing someone) has not worked out.

Isn't everyone who has been successful at their job gotten said job after someone was fired or otherwise moved on?

 

 

But to answer the OP's question. I'd say if Bo makes it to Indy he's fine. If he doesn't, regardless of record, all bets are off.

 

I'm not sure if all bets would be off. I mean the team could go 11-1 with their only loss to a division opponent and not make it to Indy.

Can you at least eliminate the coaches on here that are coaching at a school for the first time this year? I mean, they weren't going to be on the hot seat no matter what.

3/4 of those guys don't coach in a big boy conference either...

Thank you for compiling this list...I guess?? And who cares what "most sportswriters obviously agree" to. Sportswriters don't make coaching decisions. Ask Shatel.

In your opinion, does Bo keep his job if he goes 8-5?

[HUSKER FREAK]

This is such a strange conversation and weird comparisons. Nebraska is nothing like almost all of the comparisons. To me this is more like History repeating itself. T.O. was on a so called hot seat also (I know been beaten to death by that) They are not the same person I know that, not even close, but the way they are starting off and the hump they each couldn't get over to this point is amazing how similar it is. The only difference is TO's starting point was a hell of a lot easier than Bo's. I think he is doing really well. And, Although I don't agree that it should have been said by Bo, but the comments he made were true. People leaving at half time of a game of a team they support is just ridiculous to me, maybe not others but what ever. And yelling at our own QB is terrible, but it happens I guess. I think Bo is getting to the next level and I believe barring any further injuries it will start this season and next year for sure. Kinda weird because that's also about the same time frame that it took T.O. to get over the hump

Yes. But I'm not spending my days wondering how Pelini might lose his job. I'm excited for the season to start......and equally excited to see what this defensive front four we have can do.

You're spending quite a bit of your day in this thread. - if 8 wins is fireable (i think it would be) - then I'd say that's a pretty warm seat.

[TAKODA]

The bottom line here where both sides can agree on is that "Husker fans want and expect more than what Bo has delivered so far"

 

Regardless of what side of the fence you are on

 

♫"Bo can't get it done (or) ♫ Bo has not done that bad of a job and give him another year; the point in my opinion is (fans expectations) wins/losses!

 

I will be a loyal Husker fan no matter who is at the helm and wish the best for him and team. I don't need someone (an anonymous poster on a message board to tell me how to think or feel and I am sure the rest of you feel the same way no matter what side of the fence you are on)!

 

I am sure the kids are not going to practice every day wanting to get to that magical 9-4 record so message boards can revel in such conversations. I am also sure Bo would love to bring home the B1G hardware for his kids as well as his own status.

 

I do not question his or the kids desire to be a championship caliber team, however the underlying question to me is and always has been, does Bo know how to build that type of team?

 

I don't care what Forde states, I don't care what E S P eNis states! Bo is here until he is gone by his choice or by the admins choice and up until that time, my loyalties will be to support the team!

 

Yes, I have been disappointed that we have not reached my and most Husker fans goals, then again, poor me, all this hard work I have poured into posting my desires!

Woe is me ~ however will I make it through another season!
