Bo had the misfortune of bringing Nebraska out of the depths, but he was able to with strong talent already on the roster. Then the program moved conferences and it really threw a wrench in the gears. But during that Bo refused to adapt what didn't work and wouldn't adjust his staff to get over humps. Had :01 never happens, maybe Bo and Nebraska are both still in the Big 12. But Einhorst was an awful AD and Harvey....was Harvey.
But it's not hypocrisy. Bo got 7 years and he did enough yo keep us in the top 25 or in the conversation. But we weren't scaring anyone, we weren't upsetting any amazing teams really. We beat the crap out of the bad teams, beat the average teams, and narrowly lost or got blown out by the teams that we should've been competitive with after 7yrs. That hasn't changed. Bo had a bad attitude and wouldn't accept that he was doing anything wrong. Just look at his YSU tenure, look at his LSU return season. When he's bad, he's really REALLY bad.
You wanna make comparisons between Frost and Pelini, watch a game from this season VS the stacked deck of ranked teams and see how we fared against the way Bo would get us absolutely shellacked against anyone with media attention. The blowouts got to be too much and it eventually caught up to Bo. Frost, the losses are catching up to him. If he doesn't buck that trend he'll suffer the same fate. But he's getting a 5th year, almost regardless how this season finishes.
