I REALLY miss Bo. He is one of the top 2 or 3 defensive coordinators in the country, wish we still had him.
He was a good def. coord., but how would he have been as a head coach?
My guess is you will find out next year. With as bad as some "storied" programs have looked so far this year, I'm guessing Pelini gets his HC job next year. I'm betting he's picked up by Michigan.
You can't have your cake and eat it to. Bo was not going to stay at Nebraska unless he was the HC. I think the state or at least the NU fans at least wouldn't have been as split as they are now if he'd have been given the HC job. However, Pud decided to go another direction. Pelini's been involved in some pretty decent programs over the last few years (NU, OU, and now LSU). I'm guessing he's very well prepared to step in somewhere as a HC. He did have players fired up while he was at NU. It's naive to think as a HC that he won't have the whole team fired up to play.
I dont know if he was ready for the HC job when he was here, but he is now, and Michigan will benefit greatly.
Michigan won't take him, but Arizona might, if Mike Stoops lays another egg this season.
I don't think Michigan would take an Def Cord as their headcoach my guess it would have to a big name College coach or NFL. That being said I bet Chiznek smacking himself in the head for leaving Texas for Iowa St when he could have been mentioned for the Michigan gig.
