Bo Pelini is undefeated in games he's won.

Wrong. Texas in '09.

lol, +1 good sir!

umm, 12 regular season games, 1 conf champ game and 1 bowl game....... thats 14 games. How couldnt that be possible?

We wouldn't be playing an SEC team in the Rose Bowl, unless we made it to the MNC

 

So if we lose three regular season games and the bowl game, that means we would have won the CCG.

True, wasnt thinking about opponents, just the number of games. BUT..... Texas played USC in the rose bowl...... so its possible, just highly unlikely

ohhh i got one.... since the TAMU blowup, Bo's team has gone 10-7....... wait, I think someone already said this one....

HUSKERNMO,

Well said and I agree with everything you posted.

no matter how you spin it, that number is still shocking. Considering Pelini started out 28-9, and has gone 10-7 since.. i think thats shows a lot about the direction of the program.

 

btw, who cares about Urban Meyer? is he coming to coach here?

 

I would wager that 98% plus of this board would take Meyer over Bo, if Bo is a bad coach because of his last 17 games, Meyer is a bad coach because of his last 15 games.

 

Why the arbitrary 17 games, did Bo change something 17 games ago that is relevant?

 

Since 17 games are so important, lets look at the 17 games before your 17 games

 

Bo was 15-2 in the 17 before your 17, including 12-2 against BCS competition. Anyone have a problem with that type of record?

Sorry must have been editing my post when you replied.

I dont, 15-2 is great, but not when you follow it up with a 10-7, dont you agree?

Shark,

Curious here, but why does everyone just need to shut their mouths and be "yes men"? What good does that do for us?

fwiw, i am not saying you are wrong, I just dont see how keeping quiet helps the team in any way. At the same time, endless bitching about everything without providing some insight or solution, is just as poinltess IMO. Keep in mind, we aren't sending emails to Bo or showing up at his front door saying this. We are talking amongst fans on an internet message board (or radio show like Jason).... how does any fans talking on here have any infuence on the outcome of a game, or how poorly our team plays?

again, just curious.

btw, what does Urban Meyer have to do with Bo or Nebraska Football?

I dont want Bo to go. While I dont think he is the next coming of TO, he is a decent coach that just has some growing up to do. While i dont agree with his antics or decisions (or the utter distain for the media and fans that support him), I dont think we will find a coach that can get 8-10 wins every year this late into the season, unless we somehow pulled Jeff Fisher out of a hat

I just dont see the appeal Bo seems to have with EVERY major job opening. Good coach, but wet behind the ears and has a lot of seasons left before he will be on the level of great coaches.

For the record, I'm not in the "fire Bo" crowd, but I tend to agree with Jason. Ask yourself this, what would your opinion of Bo be if he was coaching at Iowa, Michigan, or Penn St acting the same way getting the same results? Maybe I have a bad sense of humor, but I would find it hilarious. You have a very proud, supportive fan base that you treat poorly or talk poorly of, picks fights with the media, has freak out sessions on national tv with players, and yet the majority of the loyal fan base continues to make excuses for the man.

 

All any of us want is to be relavant with a good program and a legitate shot at a MNC once a decade. I just can't wrap my head around how dishonest Bo seems to be with the media when it comes to injuries, job inquires, etc. I'm sorry Bo, but you coach football at Nebraska. People care about EVERYTHING. What is so hard about telling the truth to the people (fans / media) that would give anything to help the program? I hope he figures it out, but again after the new "hires" and this season, i feel a little let down.

+1, you said everyting I wanted to say.

Bo is 10-7 over the last 17 games.....

edit - woops wrong thread

honestly, I think it was a low blow by Raymond. Marvin did more with less! Without LSU type talent, Raymond seems to be struggling. And, instead of taking it like a man, he blames it on the players. WOW!

 

I lost some respect for him after that. Is it taken out of context? I dont know..

Here are some stats for you:

2008 (Marvin's first year):

89th ranked passing defense

82nd ranked passing efficiency

 

2011:

18th ranked passing defense

25th ranked passing efficiency

 

How about giving the guy a little time?

valid numbers, but hard to compare simply due to the teams we faced (raymon in the running B1G and Marvin in pass happy B12). you could look at passes defended and interceptions (lower this year than in 2008), but again, its too hard to compare the two simply because of who we played.

Tom Osborne needs to answer as well, he's the head coach for gawds sake, Watson reports directly to him..... why arent we hearing from him right now..!

 

I heard from a friend of a friend of a sister of an uncle, Osborne just left lincoln airport bound for Boulder...maybe he's interviewing for the HC job at Colorado....? Im tracking the plane tail #...

 

Im Freakin! what will we do if we lose TO!?!

 

Meh, Devaney should explain what he was thinking with that Osborne guy in the first place.

God must answer for this. Why isnt he being questioned?

I think people just like to try and kick a dog while he's down. God forbid every statement they make is under a microscope or every detail of their job or personal life it considered public information. I will bet my next two weeks pay the majority of people on this board couldn't perform their jobs as well as Bo does at the level that he does and under the pressure that he faces.

I agree to an extent. At the same time, isnt that the reason coaches get paid 2-3 million a year at a gig like Nebrasaka? Isnt that known when you take a job like this? It isnt just Nebraska, its like this all over, in every major college or pro team. Take a look at OSU fans, Bama fans, USC, texas fans.... we are tame compared to some of the big dogs.

I feel bad for Bo, but his utter distain for the fans and media over the years..... gets no sympathy from me. I support the guy, I'm just not going to coddle him. At the same time, I am not going to kick him when he is down either.

I trust TO and if he trust Bo, then I trust Bo too.

Can anyone guess what our record is over the last 17 games? It blew my mind when someone told me. I still support Bo, i just hope he rights the ship.

btw, I dont think anyone here really thought we would go undefeated this season. Most would have been happy with a conf championship and a solid BCS performance.

Marvin did more with less!

 

Care to elaborate?

see above

 

It's been one year, and you're already saying he can't develop talent? Marvin had three years and the majority of the starting secondary graduated last year. How good was the secondary after Marvin's first year? Just saying comparing Marvin's three years to Corey's one is a little unfair, don't ya think?

It may be a little unfair in his first year, but I think he painted a target on his back by calling out his own players to the "enemy" (the media). Had he said "We need to work on being more physical and fighting back, that is something I will emphasis this offseason" I would have gained a ton more respect for him. I just didn’t like the way he handled the situation.

The players need to be held accountable also, just like the coaches need to be.

I agree, but that isnt crap you spew to the media. I think it should be kept within the team, but just my opinion.

Marvin did more with less? 3 of his Dbs are in the NFL? Our secondary played very well.

Exactly. Marvin made converted RB and 3 star players into first round draft picks. I think Raymond has more raw talent to work with, just cant develope it like Marvin could.

honestly, I think it was a low blow by Raymond. Marvin did more with less! Without LSU type talent, Raymond seems to be struggling. And, instead of taking it like a man, he blames it on the players. WOW!

I lost some respect for him after that. Is it taken out of context? I dont know..

Nebraska secondary coach Corey Raymond said the Husker defenders knew what they were supposed to do, but didn’t do it.

“It was explained to them right there before the half,” Raymond said. “We just have to execute. That’s all it is. It’s a mental breakdown.”

>> The most interesting interview after the game was with Corey Raymond. The secondary coach wasn’t convinced Nebraska had enough talent to beat South Carolina, especially in the secondary.

“Just be honest,” Raymond said. “Look at them, look at us. It’s pretty obvious.”

What did Raymond mean? He didn’t spell it out, but he made veiled criticisms of Nebraska’s personnel. For instance, what did he take from this game going into the offseason?

“Hopefully it helps recruiting. Get athletes.”

Was he encouraged by how NU matched up man-for-man? “Not necessarily.”

Raymond went on to compare the mentality of Southern players versus Nebraska’s players. His guys needed to learn how to punch back once they got “hit in the mouth.”

“You can’t live on what other guys have done in the past around here,” Raymond said. “You have to live on yourself…We’re not Prince. We’re not Eric Hagg. We’re not those guys. We have to do much different things. We have to work harder. We’re not the same athletes as those guys.”

Wins arent everything to me, but they do mean a lot

My order of importance...

Win Division

Win Conf Champ game

Play in a BCS game

Finish in the top 10 after bowl games

win 10 games and no losses to unranked teams

Retain most of your players

Have a top 20 recruiting class

I thought we had the perfect season to make a run at the Conf Champ this year. 4 easy OOC games, OSU without its star QB and coach, PSU without Joe Pa and all that mess, Michigan with a first year coach and in-consistant QB, Iowa and NW in Memorial stadium..... we had an easy road to the conf game compared to most seasons in the B1g, and we blew it. I didnt mind the loss to Wiscy, but the NW, Michigan and So Carolina losses were ugly.

I hope Bo can get this turned around next year, because from where I am sitting things are going backwards.... not forwards. I think Tom O will give Bo ATLEAST 2 more years to get Nebraska back on track. But, what do i know?

8-5

Losses to OSU, Mich, Mich lite, Wiscy, and Iowa or PSU. Just my feeling.
