IMO Callahan never even tried to get what Nebraska as a college football blue blood was about. He completely treated the team like it was a pro team. He was willing to throw away 2004 in order to implement his system, just like a pro coach building for the future. That I didn't like. That 2004 team had enough talent to win at least 7 games and most likely 8 games.

 

Polo thinks BP didn't give a crap about recruiting, I don't think that is true, I just don't think he knew how to do it. He got better as the years when on.

 

Callahan always seemed like a bad fit. BP just couldn't get over the hump and it really started to wear on him.

 

You're free to think that Bo Pelini was on staff at Nebraska, Oklahoma and LSU before he was a head coach and "just didn't get" recruiting if you like. It's not very likely though.

Because they are the same...Right

 

It would be like going from a store manager to being the CEO. There is a difference between being a coordinator and HC when it comes to recruiting. As an assistant, you recruit where you are told too and who to recruit, while being a HC means you are the one that determines where the guys go and who to offer.

Folks like Freeze seemed to make the transition......

Hugh?

 

"seems" is pretty accurate. His success/failure is still up for grabs.

As a recruiting comparison (which stumpy and redux are in a kerfuffle over) it's not up for debate.

Its a different ball game when you go from being a coordinator to being a head coach. Still though, some guys it just isnt their forte or they arent in the right place to be successful recruiters. I think with Bo's 7+ years as a HC now he could go into a the Southeastern region and recruit the guys he wants for the system he runs.

Ha. Yeah I'm really sure he's going to lift a bunch of sec talent over to Penguin country.

I dont think anybody would argue Bo could have been better in most areas. But I think some of his anger came from the fact he did want to be here and it was becoming clear that would soon end.

But I refuse to go back and watch that nonsense knowing the outcome. It would be like hating the end of LOST but going back and watching the pilot.

 

was he really feeling the heat after beating ohio st. in 2011?

Beyond that, he just decided, right then and there that he was going to leave? No, methinks he had NU in mind as a springboard for awhile. Otherwise, he tries to recruit at least a little and he doesn't force Taylor onto the scene, let alone play him hurt later on.

In hindsight, 2010 was a desperate all in attempt, future be dammed.

just for perspective on the record argument, bo's 2014 team is mince meat against callahan's 2007 schedule. even if 2014 was preseason SOS 18th (lulz!).

 

Ha, I remember that.

 

I never really minded Callahan that bad, he was kinda a douche but I'd take his douchey personality over Bo. If he had hired a competent defensive coordinator I think he would of lasted a few more years.

Boy whay a goal that would be, last a few more years while giving us the same or worse record we got with Bo!

Callahan didnt care about this place and it showed on the field. Bo did care but was at ends with the administration and in over his head in select areas and it showed on the field.

My ass Bo cared about this place. He saw it as a way station to future glory. Otherwise he might have gave an ounce of a sh#t about recruiting his first few years here. And he damn sure wouldn't have said what he said after OSU 2001 or acted like a desperate contestant on The Bachelor every time a job like Miami or Arkansas came up.

Bo should write Callahan a thank you note, one for handing him teams with more talent he could ever get here and the other for driving the bar so low there are still Bo supporters here.

Oh and Callahan was bad also.

 

Without going back and looking at who was totes stoked at Stringfellow transferring here and now all too eager to cast stones, I'm willing to assume there's some overlap.

That's probably not a great assumption to make. And one likely to annoy your fellow board members. Perhaps not randomly casting aspersions, actually knowing what and to whom you're speaking, would be a better choice.

I mean, you can go back in this very thread and see the tides change.....

...

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm betting there would be people here willing to forgive the latest one had he stayed here.

 

Is there some grand sociological point being made here? What windmills are we tilting at?

There aren't any imaginary enemies here Sancho, I just find it funny there are people who want to kick Stringfellow while he's down, and one of the only reasons is that he decommitted here.

While some might be kicking. I believe the majority is rejoicing that we dodged this bullet

Ha. Well I doubt that. Either way, I respect your opinion, so we part as friends.

Until the next time, kimosabe...

Strong guy to guy. Really makes it all worthwhile, you guys.

Ah. Glad you explained that. Because it seems like you're just raking muck for the sake of raking muck. And that would be trolling, and not allowed, and there would be consequences.

 

But if you're really defending the honor of Demore'ea Stringfellow against those who are unjustly persecuting him in this thread, I'm sure that's laudable.

 

Who, exactly, is doing this here, by the way?

Did you just call William Randolph Hearst a troll?

Without going back and looking at who was totes stoked at Stringfellow transferring here and now all too eager to cast stones, I'm willing to assume there's some overlap.

But there is a funny point that people here are allowed to "not let Stringfellow go, he doesn't play here", but heaven forbid someone disparage Bo in a thread lately.......

There are none. He's just talking out of his backside and throwing shade at husker fans.

Awwww.

Four v. one.

jeez. that is bad. bo never should have recrecruited him.

Yep.

 

 

 

 

People wanted to give Moss a third chance this semester

 

Perspective on the charges and circumstances would be wise.

I agree. Polo, you're off base a little with regards to Moss.

Flashing dong to a girl then returning to the scene of the crime and violating terms < disorderly conduct..

If I'm a little off base, it's only a little. They've both done some monumentally stupid things. Repeatedly.

Although digging up this dead thread about a guy who doesn't play here just to kick him around and mock, because it somehow justifies something or makes someone feel better about god knows what is stupid too.

Moss exposed himself and returned to the place he did it. That equaled one strike.

He stepped foot on campus one day early to violate the terms. He said it was an honest mistake. I guess you can call this strike 2

 

Stringfellow's history of assault is egregiously worse than Moss and the 2 don't compare.

His history of assault was forgivable when he was a Nebraska commit. And I'm betting there would be people here willing to forgive the latest one had he stayed here.

 

I cannot understand how a black man could testify in favor of allowing discrimination for anyone.

 

Probably because you don't understand the concept as Ron Brown sees it, or for that matter, myself. There are what people are, and there is what people do.

 

Ron Brown is black...he was born that way, he wakes up that way every day. Homosexual people are categorized by what they do. They wake up and do something that is homosexual like in nature...it's a choice.

Fred Phelps, everyone.

Polo wishes he looked like Ron Brown right now.

I've got a headband on right now.

 

 

 

 

"As a follower of Jesus Christ, and a UNL employee for twenty-two years, I haven't, nor will I violate this policy," he said. "Not all of my players have agreed with the Bible's views. One example, of many, would be those choosing heterosexual sex outside of marriage. Though the Bible teaches this as sin, I haven't penalized them with playing time or discrimination of any sort."

He went on to note, "If I coached a gay player, because the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, I would do the same. If he didn't agree, I wouldn't penalize him with playing time or any form of discrimination." Still, he concluded, "I have and will embrace every player I coach, gay or straight...but I won't embrace a legal policy that supports a lifestyle that God calls a sin"

 

I mean, the fact he brings up taking away playing time and penalizing a player without a prompt says a lot.

Wow...reading a heck of a lot into that statement.

Meh, I really don't care either way. There is a lot about Ron Brown that I respect and love. Hell, I wish I look like him at age 60, it's just really too bad he's got some really regrettable quotes out there.

Your statement just sounded like.

 

faithful Husband = hmmm...that woman is pretty.

Wife = gives him stern look

Faithful Husband = What? I love you, I would never cheat on you. I just think she is pretty.

Wife = WHAT??? You think about cheating on me?

Faithful husband =

"I mean if you let me make a list I'm just sayin she'd be on it"

And yet you are the one that brought Moss into the discussion

Well, yeah.....

it is possible that environment played a role in this. as in, if he came to neb. and surrounded himself with better influences, he would not have gotten in trouble again.

 

and does anyone know the specifics of the disorderly conduct? that is a broad and vague charge.

 

I'll tell you the only difference right now in people's views, the logo on the side of his helmet.

If he was at Nebraska with this charge, people would be clamoring for a second chance, whereas if Moss had decided on Ole Miss and did what he did, there'd be laughter and ridicule abound.

Hall hath no fury like a scorned recruiting honk.

The thing about it is that Ole Miss WAS his 2nd chance. Not sure if there are to many Husker fans going to line up for the 3rd.
