Available Coaches

[Redux]

Spinning out of control? Do tell. But first, here is the list of Bo's blowout losses:

2008 Mizzou 52-17

2008 OU 62-28

2009 TT 31-10

2011 Wisconsin 48-17

2011 Michigan 45-17

2012 Ohio State 63-38 (not as close as the score indicates, sadly)

2012 Wisconsin 70-31

2013 UCLA 41-21

2013 Michigan St 41-28 (only 13 points but this game was way further out of reach for most of the game IIRC)

2013 Iowa 38-17 (not as close as score indicates)

2014 Wisconsin 59-24

Could it be that maybe Bo was an above average coach? And that Riley is an above coach and that Solich is an above average coach...but that they just weren't good enough for what we want?

Completely possible. But what the hell are we looking for then?
A lot of great coaches have looked average (or even worse) for stretches.

Great question!
I think we Bo we knew because of his body of work.

With Riley, we do know but a lot of fans want to pretend like his time at OSU doesn't count or something like that.

With Frank everyone just says "Well, now he is coaching where he belongs"

No one is pretending it doesn't count, some just see what he did for most of his time at OSU as an accomplishment not a detriment.

That was perfect LOMS

Think your avatar would come here as ST and OC/HC in waiting.......

I guess we should expand this to include assistant coaches in view of Read getting the ax. I mentioned in the Read thread that I'd sure love to see us nab someone from Strong's staff at Tejas. Someone who would help out our Texas high school connections.

Hmmm... Don't know what to read into that. One bad season and dude might be gone?

Not a bad idea at all. Get TX covered wouldn't do anything, but help us....

Would say find a spot for him on our staff, but I remember him calling our special teams "well coached"....maybe there's a reason he was fired

Maybe it was well coached, just poorly executed?

Apparently Riley didn't see it that way.
