Ok, so may I ask: do you personally feel Bo should be replaced. If so, who do you see as his top 3 candidates. If not, what changes does he need to make for him to get over the hump here at NU? If you say coordinators, who do you feel as a couple possible names that would be candidates?
I don't like to call for anyone's job. In a knee jerk reaction I have been guilty of it in the past and I have done a lot better which is something I've worked on recently. I always try to remember that these are kids and the coaches are only human and I feel uncomfortable calling for someone to be out of a job.
To be quite honest with you, I haven't even put much thought into it. The only name that really I'd like to see that I personally think we could get would be Kirby Smart and this would be a stepping stone for him.
I truly think if we were to fire Bo that it would be a very humbling experience for us Husker fans. I don't believe people would be knocking down the door to come here to a place with built in disadvantages in modern day recruiting and a very tight leash. I just don't see the appeal for a top level candidate to take this job.
I fear that if we do fire Bo, yesterday will be the least of our worries and darker days are to come.
I could be convinced otherwise, but I just really don't see the appeal of the Husker gig when looking at it from an objective standpoint. What would attract a coach here??
$$$$, that's what. Money talks.
Also, just wanted to point out that the coaches that Texas and USC will be targeting are assuredly not the same coaches that we will be targeting. I could see USC landing Chip Kelly somehow. Texas will go after Saban, and if they're not successful, probably Briles.
This is the perfect time to target guys like Petersen and Richt. Both are having flat seasons and might be looking for a fresh start. I'm not really big on the NFL guys because most of them have goals to return to the NFL at a later point.
The one thing I like about Frost is his youth. If he were to come here, and be successful, he could be here for a very, very long time.
Lastly, I see a lot of people still using the 9/10-win argument, and that's understandable. However I think most people are under the belief that Bo will not attain 9 wins this year. I personally think that he'll have to coach his ass off to get there. If he doesn't make it, that, coupled with everything else, would be reason enough to show him the door.
