Very good points addison. I agree with you there are a lot of things a HC has to take into account such as game management, crucial decisions on whether to go on fourth or kick the field goal, etc. The reason I am so adiment on Bo's big time experience with NU, OU, LSU as well as his pro experience is the fact that I think these experiences weight far heavier under the bright lights of primetime on national television with national championships on the line. I just don't believe that these same in game situations are the same at Buffalo where I believe they only draw around maybe 10,000 to their home games. Don't get me wrong in game decisions that TG makes at Buffalo are still crucial I just don't think they carry the same wait as Bo's decisions, granted they are only on defense, but to me just the fact that he has had nothing but big league experience makes up for experience at low end schools and I am not just talking about TG either, it is the rest of the coaches supposedly in contention for the NU job. Just my thoughts as a arm chair QB/HC
Bottom line and the only thing people need to know about Bo Pelini...
He is not even being considered for the LSU job! Why? He doesn't have head coaching experiance, and big time programs don't take risks like hiring coaches with no experiance.
