No, Bo had a chance for this type of offense with Watson. Since Shawn couldn't get his vision across to Pelini, with full trust and more importantly consistent results, Pelini could've very easily hired an OC with similar offensive vision and gone from there. Instead, he chose to promote, with no experience calling plays at the college level, Tim Beck as Pelini has always wanted a spread type offense for his team.
And before anyone says Bo didn't know Nebraska would be in the B1G when he promoted Beck, think again. It was announced in 2010 that Nebraska would join the B1G in 2012 and Tim Beck was promoted in 2011.
For me, it's beyond time to move on. He's had chances to hire coordinators (Pap and Beck, both with zero college experience), assistants (Raymond, Els, Joseph, Fish, Garrison, Kaz and Warren) but for some reason, the end results stay the same with some nasty and embarrassing nationally televised losses.
