Boy, this sounds familiar.

LSU knows championship coaches becasue they have had one this century. Love Saban or hate him he has won one and would have won more if he did not try to go to the I-AA Dolphins. LSU wanted no part of Pelini and we will all find out why in year 3. CU and Mizzu will now own the North for the next 10 years IMO. TO is not a GOD. He has made mistakes before and he has just made a big one today if all these rumors are true. This is the same TO that supported the Pederson hire if I am not mistaken. Look how that turned out. Sorry to say we are done as a progam for the next 10 years.

"I still think we should offer Jon Tenuta the DC-position. He is hands-down one of the top DC's out there" This has been the most accurate quote posted on this board in a week.

The only reason he did this was so he can go see recruits on in home visits. You must be a coach to do an in home visit. Every coach in the world is in the recruits homes. TO is just trying to keep the committed guys and let them know about the coaching search.

[When K-State's roster was healthy in 2003 they handed a lot of butts to a lot of people and didn't even care if they got the butts mixed up-- they were just tearing them off and handing them out. When healthy, K-State was a NC contender that year, and NU, well, was coming off of 2002 and with a new coaching staff. The point was he went after Snyder on the field. That is a sign to me that the guy can not handle himself when times are tough. I was impressed with Randy Shannon of Miami after the OU game they had this year. The press was asking Shannon if he felt Stoops was running up the score by passing in the 4 quarter. He said no. It was 3rd and 10's when they passed and those are passing downs no matter what time of the game it is. He said it was not up to stoops to stop scoring it was up to his defense. Now I am not going to get into it that we are not Miami. Don't miss the point. Bo is not the guy we want as the head man at Nebraska if we want to have a top 10 team again. We can not have a coach here that feels like he is the victim. Billy C was a victim. He just did not have HIS guys. He did not have the talent. He did not have this or that. We don't want to go down that road again. And the thing you have to ask yourself is why is Bo avalible? If he is so great why is he not a Head coach in the MAC? Why was he not considered for A&M or Baylor or any other place. I don't hear his name in the LSU search that is about to come. I don't see G-Tech mentioning him. Nobody is mentioning him. Does that tell you anything? Now the same could be said about Gill and Kelly. They are in the MAC earning their stripes. And I mentioned it before. Urban Meyer was in the MAC and many schools could have gotten him early. Then he gets to Utah and blows up and only the top 5 programs had a chance at him. And lets not kid ourselves. We are not a top 5 progam. We have won national titles but it is harder to do here than at Ohio State, Florida, Texas, USC, and FSU where they have national names, warm weather, Huge Talent base, and the same if not more funds than at Nebraska. Lets get on one of these guys early before we have to get into a bidding war with some other program.

You have to wonder if Nathan or Brad or Daniel are friends of ours from right here on Huskerboard. No Firebo.com yet?

I know a couple of guys in Buffalo and they are hoping we don't take Gill from them now. They know some big program will in a couple of years but they think he really has changed the culture up there. He has made Buffalo a place where good young coaches will look to get their start. Before it was a death sentance. Not my words, their words.

How long did Bo coach here? 1 year? 3 years? Have not been impressed with Bo because as one poster said above. When the talented teams came to play we did not. Again he was better than Craig B so he looked all world. The D loved him I will give him that. But the D loved Charlie also but he was not a head coach type. He was not a guy who you wanted as the face of the program. Charlie was charlie and did a heck of a job for us for many years. Did Bo get us all the DL's and LB's that are pro right now or was that Blake? Because that is what it really is all about. Talent and developing talent. Someone asked so I will tell you. I really like Peterson of Boise St. I think he and his offense would do well here. Now maybe he just wants to stay on the West Coast and wants no part of us and is eyeing UCLA or something. I could accept that. But I am frustrated because I am not in the know and have no idea who we are really looking at and if Peterson has even been contacted. I just feel that Bo is not the answer and I am stunned that sooooooo many Nebraska Fans are in love with the guy. As for Gill, I like him and I think he would do well here. He is not going to bring back TO's option back like everyone thinks. He has always wanted to pass the ball. I think he would get the foundation back. He would be the face of the program that we all could be proud of. What he does as a coach will not delete anything he did from 1980-83. He will always be a part of the "Scoring Explosion". Did Rozier doing Coke stop him from being a past Heisman winner? No. He is still the best to ever play here. Gill has proved that he can coach at the CEO level. Nobody would give him a shot so he had to go to Buffalo. Now is Buffalo that much different than Bowling Green? Would a lot of schools have wanted to get on the Urban Meyer train before he went to Utah and have given him a chance before the Gates got their hands on him? I am sure they would have now but they got no chance now. I am just afraid that if Bo is given the job we will sink lower. Mizzu is gaining ground and so is CU. We don't have 4 years to blow off. This has to be the right hire or we will be done for 10 more years IMHO.

So are you big on Bo or what?

First time post on this board. Did not know this board was around until a week ago. Again, I have had no interest since the pro coach took over. Knew what was going to happen and did not care to see it or talk about it.

The difference is TO is looking at College coaches and not Pro coaches. Pedey was looking for that flashy hire. TO is just looking for the right fit. Hope he stops looking at Bo P. Lets get the Boise St coach and get this whole thing over with.

Why all the interest in Bo? I just don't get it. This is the same guy who got his butt handed to him vs K-State in 2003 and then tries and beat up the 90 year old coach after the game? This guy has not really shown that much has he. He was a better DC than Craig B but how hard is that? Do you guys really want this whiner to be the face of the program? The guy cries because K-State ran up the score on us. Well news flash, it is not K-States job to stop them from scoring it was Bo job to do that. He did not get it done and now he was going to attack an old man over it? That may be the fire you like to see from your DC but not your head man. And if bo was so great why is LSU letting him go without a fight? He coached here 2 years and people think he is from Nebraska or something. I lost interest after Billy C was hired and I will lose interest again for another 4 years if they hire Bo
