If anything, some players might not play 100%. And I think those players would be the ones that are transferring. Personally, I don't know why he chose to fire him before the bowl game. It just seems like something you would do a coach that goes 7 - 5 or 6 - 6, not 9 - 3.

Florida will be probably be looking for a new DC and Pelini has SEC experience.

My thoughts exactly.

All staff members are still under contract, including Beck, Paps and Cotton. It all depends on who the next coach is and who he wants to stay. Not up to us fans. Thank God.

Guys that haven't used a redshirt, and are not JUCO transfers, next years eligibility

I can see Cross leaving, especially if the next coach doesn't have an offense that caters to him. I could also see Nate Gerry, Collins and Carter leaving. Again their roles on the team were huge under Bo, if the new scheme doesn't feature around them, they will leave. It also depends on what staff stays under the new coach.

Its more about how the new coach will sell his vision of the Huskers to these kids. If its a good vision and he convinces them to play for "Nebraska" they will stay here.

I think our defense will go out there and prove something, they historically have under Bo right after a big loss. On the flip side, I think TA will struggle again. Why? Cause every time I try to give the kid the benefit of turning things around, he doesn't. After the Northwestern game, I thought he had struggles a little and hope he would show improvement during the Rutgers game, he didn't. I thought he prove something against Purdue the week after, nope. It was a long shot against Wisconsin, but I believed that maybe then he would turn the corner, nope. If he some how does make improvements this week, good for him, but I've stopped betting on the kid to make those improvements the rest of the season.

I think (or hope) to see Ryker in at some point during the game. I think Imani Cross has a big game and the Huskers win comfortably.

I wouldn't be surprised if Florida is looking at him. Would they take him? I don't know. Would they give him a long look? Hell yes.

Tweeted out today that things are looking good and might be ready to play in the bowl game. Thoughts? Should he play or take the med redshirt? If he does take it, it would mean 2 more years at Nebraska rather than next year being his last.

I know I'm not liked on this forum, but still it's worth listening to.

I got a reality check for you all. How many of you that are doggin' on KB's words, would still be doggin' on them if they came from AA?

I really hope the Huskers win against the Gophers. Not because I still support Bo, Not because its Senior Day, Not because its the last time I'll see Ameer and Kenny, and possibly Randy Gregory take the field at Memorial Stadium. Not because I absolutely support the Huskers.

But because I want to witness you all (fairweather fans) promptly eating crow after the game.

 

 

 

A sure fire way to get Bo out?

 

Stop going to games.

 

Just ask Dave Brandon how that worked out for him.

 

And please, spare me the "I'm supporting the kids," line (cause I know it's coming from someone).

 

Support the kids - show your displeasure in the coaching staff and get them someone in there that will help them and work for them, instead of screaming at them all the time.

Nailed it!

 

Support the kids by getting them a coach that will teach them fundamentals and help them grow into quality football players all with 80% less berating on TV.

Right! I'll call Bill Callahan.

What a pathetic excuse for an argument.

 

Pretty sure it wasn't an agrument, pretty sure it was sarcasm. Didn't think I needed an avatar to show it either.

I hate to admit it, but coaching is a business Bo. Your coaching staff (employees) have taken your teams this far, your gotta think business and start looking for better coaches to keep progressing.

So we've gone from supporting the Husker, to hating Bo, Tim and Pap, to wanting them to drop the last 3 games so we can fire them all...

Sigh.

Screw you all. GO BIG RED! WIN ALL THREE GAMES! NOT TO SAVE THE JOBS OF THE COACHES, BUT FOR THE KIDS OUT THERE PLAYING BALL!!!

And I'm sure people on this board would have been equally pissed off if TIm Beck didn't say anything.

Every team is going to have let downs. People act like we are a team with 40 4*-5* players on our team. Oh yea OSU does and they lost to Va tech. Bama does they lost to Ole miss. A&M does and they suck. We are 8-2 with a bunch of 2-3* guys.

Don't forget Michigan all those highly ranked recruiting classes they put together over the past 5 years.

I wouldn't say Bo has been defeated or is tired of the BS. He has evolved. It's his first HC gig. Whether he stays with the Huskers or not, he'll take a lot of lessons through his experience here. I think what we saw in his earlier years was a DC and he is turning into more of a head coach.

When you think about how college football has been described as more of a business. Pelini is a CEO that surrounds himself with board members who agree with him and don't challenge his ideals. For Pelini, its the next step he must take in evolving as a head coach, you don't need a staff full of people who contradict everything you do, but rather a mix of people who agree with some thing you do and disagree with others. I also don't think Pelini is aggressive when it comes to staff changes. The last time he was somewhat aggressive was when he fired Shawn Watson.

I love it when people say "Pelini can't stop the run!" Like he is the one out there suiting up with pads and a helmet. If Pelini couldn't stop the run, from a strategic standpoint, the majority of our games, if not every game would be like the Wisconsin game.

Do the Husker QB's take contact hits in practice? If not, could that be a factor in Tommy's struggles over the past few games? I'm sure the QB contact in practice was brought up before when Taylor Martinez was playing, but I can't remember what the answer was.

 

Would Bohol come back though?

For the head coaching position, and a chance to revive the program...yes I think he would. He has said in multiple interviews at different times how much he idolizes Tom Osborne. He knows how much the Nebraska football program means to Osborne. Think what it would mean to Coach Bohl to return the program to it's former glory like it used to enjoy under Osborne.

 

Also I believe Coach Bohl still has family that live in Lincoln.

 

I like the idea of Bohl. If he hadn't already accepted a head coaching job at Wyoming.

I don't know the dynamics of it, but what your asking is to payoff Bo's contract and everyone else on his staff, and then pay for Craig Bohl's to get him from Wyoming.

I voted yes.

What?

Come at me! I dare you!

desperation really stinks...

 

How about here

Kinda what I'm thinking. Can't think of a better place for him! Might be the perfect qb for our system.

 

Agreed, We need a talented running QB that has a history of being shady on his passing game.

My belief in Bo stems from the quote "You'll never appreciate how good something is, until its gone."

I would much rather have a consistent 9 or 10 win season, than run the risk of bringing in a coach who spirals the program back down. Do I want the Huskers to win championships? Hell yes!

Can Bo win championships at Nebraska? Maybe. Can he win them somewhere else? Maybe. Can the Huskers do better under a different coach? Maybe.

But I guarantee you this, the chances the Huskers can do better under a different coach are just about equal that they fall to another 7, 6, 5 win season under a different coach. Are you ready to ride that storm if that happens?

Why do Husker fans think they can wave a magic wand and get any coach they want?

I learned that Tommy Armstrong needs to spend the offseason with Troy Calhoun. It worked for Taylor Martinez.

I learned I am sick and tired of hearing those lame ebola jokes. seriously that crap is old.

I learned that if we fire our coaching staff, I'll probably have to wait till 2018 for the Huskers to have a 9 win season again.

What is really upsetting is that we had a bye week before this game. How can you come out of a bye week and play this poorly? What were you doing?
