Don't worry, we won't capitalize

Hahahaha! 2 turnovers = 0 points! 3rd and 20 = 1st and 10 for the Hawks! We suck.

Unfortunately Bo has shown himself to be very resistant to change. IF (and that's a big if) the head coach would change things and personnel in positions that need fixing, I.e. OC and DC, hire quality staff and let them coach I would begrudgingly give him another shot.

 

I can think of only 1 way Bo could be successful. Coach somewhere other than the university of Nebraska. Just sayin.

 

With that logic, makes ya wonder what's wrong at UNL now doesn't it?

I learned our entire staff needs to go away. Except Ron Brown, he's cool. He can stay. But everyone else get the F?$k out!!!

i predict we win the bowl because that is what bo does to us. he kicks us in the crotch, and then gives us enough of a hug to make us trust him again.

Best post Ive read in a long time! I might make that my sig!

I can't believe that some people are patting Bo on the back for winning 8 games.

 

Does this guy really think that there are not many coaches that are capable of beating Wyoming, Southern Miss, SDSU, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Michigan, and Penn State?

 

There are probably a few coaches that could, but NONE of them would be able to bring down powerhouses like Iowa and Minnesota.

So lets fire our coach every year they lose to Iowa or Minny. Got it.

No, every time we loose…fire everyone on staff. If we give up 100 yd rusher, fire the DC, if we score less than 42 pts per game, fire the OC, a missed field goal, fire the ST coach then pull the kickers scholarship. Oh yeah, if my Vals Pizza at the game isn’t cheesy enough, fire the kid working in the concessions stand then kick him square in the nuts….Seriously.

All joking aside, this was a well written opinion piece by Hoopwood. I agree with a lot of what he said and he basically summed up a lot of what other people on the board have been saying.

OWH sports columnists write a bunch of trash anyway and have ZERO credibility with me, I guess they are entitled to their opinion but most times it is to the detriment of the program in my opinion.

Tx has got to be one of the top 5 college football teams I love to hate. This would be a good, winnable match up for us especially if Taylor can go.

Hells yeah! He really deserves at least one last blast. One of the best QBs in Neb history (yes, you read that right) should get a shot to go out a good note.

TO supports bo still. Has an article saying u don't fire a guy with his record ,such a young team, and so many injuries. TO supports him then I will take his word on it.

Agreed

I also have ZERO faith in Chancellor Pearlman and Eichorst (who is still somewhat of a mystery man to me) to go out and land a top notch coach and staff who may or may not even be available or interested. By Firing Bo that’s what we are doing…putting trust in those guys to get someone better…..I don’t see it. After Tom stepped down I think a lot of people around the country see Nebraska as not having much credibility of Clout as we use to with TO in house. Just an observation.

Agreed, lack of depth and Freshman across the board is a direct result of recruiting or lack thereof. BUT injuries are NOT the HC fault….that is unless of course the coaching staff is intentionally injuring players. People talk about strength and conditioning, hell the last time I checked you cannot strengthen a knee ligament or an ankle bone which it seems a lot of our guys had these types of injuries.

OK, so Bo and staff don’t recruit well, this isn’t earth shattering news…how do we fix that…Hmmmm bring in a few new coordinators and position coaches that are also good recruiters. Done……next.

If I was hired for a job and having a rough go and all I heard was “you suck” “you are a failure” “you should be fired” I…and you would get sick of it after a while and fire back…don’t lie, you would too.

This deal isn’t ALL the fans and media’s fault, but fans and media don’t make the situation any better either. If your not a part of the solution you are part of the problem. Bo is basically in a situation where he will probably never succeed because everyone hates his guts. No fan support + no media support=inevitable failure.

Bo does have an abrasive personality, but to say he doesn’t care about Nebraska would be a bit of a stretch. Who in their right mind would stay somewhere they weren’t wanted if they didn’t care about what they were doing? So, that statement doesn’t make sense if you bring that thought to a logical conclusion.

Like I said before; new coordinators/position coaches + fan and media support + recruits + healthy players will equal success.

Don’t freak out people, its really not as bad as it may appear. I hate loosing they way we have, but If the program was completely gutted now, any progress would be erased. We are still trying to recover from gutting the program after coach Solach…why regress and start all over again?

OK, I have been a lurker on this forum for a while but never created an account or posted before until now. I really think people are way off base in wanting to cut Bo loose…Shame on you. I remember a few years back when he was hired Husker nation was over the moon with excitement because this was OUR GUY…no doubt about it. Heck, Bo was appointed and endorsed by TOM himself, what else could we ask for?

Am I happy with how the last few seasons have gone? Absolutely not. Am I OK with Bo making an ass out of himself in the media and shooting his mouth off making the university and the team look bad? Heck no. BUT, I Know this is the same guy that put together one of the best defensive units this program has seen since the 90s and I think he can do it again IF…IF he has the support he had when he was first appointed head coach and some competent coordinators and position coaches. Sprinkle in some recruiting and we could ball with anyone…I really believe that.

Put this season in perspective a bit. Lets say you take the best football team in the country…which is of course Alabama. Now, take away 7 of the 8 best OL player on the team, then remove the best QB on the team, then take away a clutch, speedy receiver on the first team….OK were not quite done yet; add in a MASH unit of FRESHMAN defensive players….(seriously, these guys are freshman people! Guys that just got their first big boy hairs a few years ago and were at senior prom a year ago. What THE F DO YOU EXPECT!) I for one think its is REMARKABLE we made it 8 wins…absolutely incredible. Take all that away from Bama, then turn every media troll in the state on Saban every freakin day…what do you think is gonna happen? NO TEAM CAN OVERCOME THOSE KINDS OF INJURIES AND PRESSURS AND EXPECT TO BE SUCCESFULL…NOT ONE!

Bo has been backend into a corner all season and now we are surprised when he snaps and goes off on some reporter, a ref and the fans…. Really? I am pretty amazed he was able to hold his tongue this long, I wouldn’t have been able to. The same reason everyone loved him as a coach for his passionate enthusiasm is the same reason people are hating on him. . I cant even imagine why he would want to stay here anyway…everyone hates his guts it would seem. Why would anyone want to come here, coach or player? If your thinking its because of the reputation and tradition we had in the 70s-the 90s, think again…no one cares about that but US, Hell, none of the player were even alive during the Huskers hay days. I love the HUSKERS and will cheer for them rain or shine, win or lose, but damn…sometimes I think our fans have unrealistic expectations and are really impatient. It took Tom about 3 decades to win a championship…3 decades. If Tom were to be reincarnated and made Nebraska head ball coach he would be run out of town by the whinny fans and media after a few years. Right now, Nebraska football is a joke…that’s right, a joke to other people. Bo is trying to rebuild a program that was in the toilet and everyone is ready to FIRE him because he hasn’t made the team in to the 1994 Cornhuskers already. Its just crazy. People are impeding the exact same process they are desperate to improve.

Who else you gonna get? If someone says “scott frost” or “Lane Kiffin” I would smack there face…that’s ridiculous. They are either unproven or proven losers respectively. Maybe as Coordinators or recruiters those guys would work out but not as the HC. The only guys in my mind that would appease Husker nation immediately are locked up in long term deals that the university is defiantly not willing to reach that deep in their pockets to procure (Saban or Meyer) Even if they did “show them the money” its likely only a pipe dream. Otherwise the only thing we are going to get is more 8 or 9 win seasons only with a different guy as head coach.

Eichorst already says Bo is back, so even if you don’t agree with him or like him, quit being a baby and support our HC. HE might just surprise you if given a few new staff members, some experienced players and maybe a PR guy for good measure!

I will also add that as painful as this season was, the amount of experience our young guys got this year will pay off in SPADES NEXT year…you cant simulate in game experience in practice and I think that’s not something that should be over looked.

GBR!, sorry for the long post.
