I'm pretty sure I'd take him coaching at NU too.Pretty sure they just beat Auburn.

Isn't it fairly common to fire a coach at the end of the regular season, but before the bowl game?
My guess: Lose to Minnesota OR Iowa, and Bo doesn't make it to the bowl game.
Tough decision for the AD if we win both. Just to be clear, I do want us to win both.

To do it right, Eichorst needs two main things. Big money support, and a plan. I really dont think he had either one last year. The whole hot seat deal really blew up within a few weeks last year and to where it was real unbearable, I just dont think they were prepared. Going into this year, i would they had a plan. obviously with all the things like audiogate, Bo's iowa day tantrum, etc. i would hope that they came into this year understanding it could go sour again and that the fanbase as a whole is on the verge of jumping ship and that they need to be prepared. So at this point I hope they have a plan.
As far as the big money support. Well only time will tell i guess.

Something to consider. We would be asking a new coach to come in and go undefeated. Right away. Now. We're still in the B1G, right? And you can talk all you want about how it's not about wins and losses. Coaches know better. Put what you wrote above in the first line of the job description.......

It's still hard to take MN seriously, but I'm sure most of us will this weekend. I've rewatched some of there games and man. I'm not confident in a once guaranteed victory. Cobb is a beast and there passing game is much better than UW. With ameer unhealthy I fear the worst. And then iowa could put the cherry on top. They aren't that good but I said the same thing last year.

No ones asking the new coach to go undefeated.
And I love how we are all assuming Bo's getting an 11-2 team when he's never come close to that before
I went into work the next day and the first conversation I had began with, "Who do you think they're going to hire?" It wasn't even a question of if any more. It was more like, as I watched that game with the hat-swipe and yelling that was topped off with that flame out of a presser, it just seemed *obvious* that he knew that he was fired. That's how he was behaving, I mean. My game-day companions all thought that, too. It was such a bizarre display that we just assumed that he knew he was gone. I was kind of on the fence last year and was in the " he needs to make some major staff changes" camp. But right then, he was behaving like a lunatic, like he was in the football version of Network or something. The only reason I think he was still around was because of the size of his buyout. Give him another year, lower the buy out, and possibly give him a chance to redeem himself.
I have to think that he knew that game may have been the harbinger of the end of his tenure here. I mean, he seemed so confused and just befuddled like a man of twice his age suffering from mild dementia. "I don't know. I really don't know." His apparent lack of understanding is a pretty good reason to let him go as a head coach. I'm sure he'll find a home in the NFL as a DC or a position coach.

Actually his winning percentage is .696 in the SEC. (Bo's is .704 in conference).
Fertile recruiting grounds.
Don't care if was born in Nebraska.
1-1 in Bowls against Bo Pelini despite playing game in back yard.
3 actual seasons with MORE than four losses.
Zero conference championships since before Pelini was even hired.
AND:
Loses games he shouldn't (in embarrassing fashion).
More disciplinary issues than you can shake a stick at.
2 losses this year, in which both teams are FAR WORSE than MSU and Wisconsin. Did you see the Florida game?

I am so sick of this argument. Because Bo is let go for getting blown out against ranked opponents, we would be asking a new coach to come in and go undefeated? Why? Why the jump from 4 losses to undefeated? Why do people have to blow the situation out of proportion like this?
The problem isn't the 9 wins or the 4 losses. Some need to get that through their thick heads. The problem is not being competitive with reasonably decent teams. Period. As far as I'm concerned the new coach can come in here and only win 9 for a few years, as long as he's not struggling with McNeese and getting curb stomped by every top 30 team he faces. The expectation is not a better record than Pelini has generated. The expectation is winning some games that matter instead of getting embarrassed. It's really that simple.
