Personally, I think Bo is the worst thing to ever happen to this program.
For a man in such a highly respected postion as a Husker Head Coach and a leader of young men, I've never been so repeatedly disgusted by a grown mans behavior.
The childish tantrums.
The talking out both sides of his mouth as he preached point the thumb, yet pointed fingers at nearly every single outside aspect he could possibly point at.
Preaching 'core values' all while bad-mouthing his boss and exiting this program in a very disgraceful way.
Saying multiple times how all he cared about was championships, no moral victories, then boasting about multiple moral victories along the way.
Referencing the media and how he DOESN'T READ THE GARBAGE THEY WRITE, ....just to say a week later "I READ THE THINGS YOU GUYS WRITE AND IT'S HURTING THE TEAM".
Preaching integrity, doing the right things whilst no one is looking.....well two audio tapes say there's another area you were not practicing what you preached. You'd have to be a fool to believe these were the worst of the things he's had to say or the only times he's said them.
The arrogance of a first time head coach to repeatedly let the world know "I've been around this game a long time and when you've seen as much football as I have.......". We get it, you think you know it all....yada yada. For being in the position of a leader, and a teacher, you should always be willing to continue to learn from others. Did Bo seem like he was willing to learn from anyone else? Learn from his own mistakes? He may have said all the right things toward the end, hell even I was buying in. I thought he was coming around. He wasn't. The only thing he was figuring out was how to bullsh#t people a bit better. How to 'play the game'. In the end, he stood on the very same pedestal and preached 'stay the course', even as his failures and weaknesses were exposed in the same ways over and over.
Man to man, who approaches anything like that? What kind of man displays such a stubbornness to refuse to let go of HIS WAY, even when HIS WAY is exposing his team and his coaches to some of the worst physically and morally deflating defeats in Husker football history. That folks, is a rare level of bull headed.
I've never felt such an aura of negativity around Nebraska football as I've felt since Bo came here. It seemed never ending and went on for far too long. I'm glad it's over. I have a real distaste for the guy as a coach and as a man.
Hell yes it cast the Callahan era in a different light.
Callahan who?
