The Dude

Not much else was accurate in that thread.

I think it's pretty obvious why we don't want that kind of offense. We have trouble recruiting the types of players to run that kind of offense. Always have, always will.

Wow it sounds even more ridiculous when used in a sentence. They really have to change those division names.

Which seems like a wise PR move considering his lack of other options. I' sure some kid's dad care's soooo much about public relations. As opposed to pissing off a passionate fan base who will be examining every action of his son? Yeah. I think he cares about public relations. If he doesn't he has some severe mental deficiencies. You calling him a liar then? Did you even listen to the podcast? He made it perfectly clear his son's words were taken out of context, and this whole thing was blown way out of proportion. Why not just take him at his word?

This guy is a moron. As has previously been mentioned, Shawn Watson has been a "candidate" for virtually every coaching job that has come available within the last 2.5 months. In addition, Charles Jackson's dad has already publicly stated that his son's decision wouldn't have been influenced by the staff changes had they been announced before NSD. Furthermore, he admonished reporters who, like this jackass, blew that issue out of proportion in order to sell media. What exactly were Jackson's options? He had signed on the line. There was no way to back out. Of course he is going to say "oh yeah! Everything is fine!" Interesting how that conflicts with his initial reaction, isn't it? Perhaps it wasn't obvious enough for you. I'm not willing to give Chatelain the benefit of the doubt as far as how that interview was conducted. I really don't think we have enough information to go around calling Bo's integrity into question. Ah. Bo's integrity is beyond reproach but we must all assume that Chatelain is untrustworthy. That's awfully convenient. I'm not going to argue with you about Chatelain. Just consider the following: We don't know what questions Charles Jackson was asked. We don't know when the Marvin Sanders situation came to a head. Hell, we don't even know what the Marvin Sanders situation is. We don't know what Bo's legal obligations are when it comes to publicizing this kind of information (at least I don't). I think you should know the answers to those questions before you draw the types of conclusions that you are drawing. And I think it's even more ridiculous to criticize Pelini for not "disclosing" the fact that Shawn Watson was leaving. After 10 weeks of speculation about his status with the team (partly because of his inept performance, partly because he was actively interviewing with other schools), you can't possibly criticize Pelini for the way he handled Watson. Eh. I guess I trust Chatelain's journalistic integrity. He's one of the few Nebraska writers willing to ask questions about what we want to know versus what the University wants us to know. That's a healthy thing. I don't have a problem with firing coaches. Heck, I've been calling for the firing of Watson for as long as anyone on this board. My problem is that recruits apparently signed with Nebraska without being informed that their position coaches would not be here. I do not think that is fair to them, in fact I think it reeks of dishonesty and a lack of integrity. If my son had signed with Nebraska to be coached specifically by Marvin Sanders, and the coaches hid the fact that he would not be here until after he signed his LOI, I would be disgusted. Maybe I just expect a higher standard of conduct. But Charles' dad, on the other hand, didn't even take issue with it...

And Bo kinda making a recruit upset, but not really, isn't nearly as bad as the stuff going on at Oregon. This controversy boggles my mind.

If Beck is seriously the best we can do..... wow, just wow.

Feels like the Packers are starting to crumble...

Huh didn't notice that lol.

Good. As long as the serial rapist doesn't win another ring, tonight will be a success.

I hate both these teams. Meh to this game.

I'm 28, and I've been waiting for it too.

This.

For the most part I've felt admiration from Big Ten fans. Nothing but welcoming words of kindness. Except for the occasional ribbing here and there, which is to be expected and more than welcome.

I like the idea of having 2 o-line coaches. I don't really like the idea of having Beck as the OC if the Holiday Bowl is any indication of what our offense is going to look like.

Obama? Is that you?

Someone please teach the big fella how to box out.

Woot! Congrats Big Suh!

No sir, there can only be one RKJ. <3

Very good point. Our offense has been so comically inept for so long it would be almost impossible to be worse. Get him on board! Exactly. I have to imagine Frost knows more about the style of offense Bo wants us to run than Watson ever will. Will Frost be the next great OC? Maybe, maybe not, but it's got to be a better option that trying to cram a square peg into a round hole. Like we have been with Wats.

Iowa: all of the problems of a big time college football program, none of the championships.

Maybe when you kids are a little older I'll tell you the story about the little boy who cried wolf.

Roll the dice Bo. Someone gave you a shot at DC and HC. Give the kid a chance.
