If he were truly committed to NU he would stay here, at his current employer, and fulfill his contracted duties. I have to wonder about about his level of commit to the Huskers to be doing this. NU should be his prime interest and only concern but instead he is heading off to LSU for 3 weeks of which 1 week will be in prime recruiting time (Jan 2 - 9).
But this shouldn't surprise anyone. He was on the OU sidelines during the 2004 Sugar Bowl while he was still the acting head coach at NU, still under contract and still drawing a salary from us. Seems he likes to attend other people's bowl games while employed at NU rather than staying at home and taking care of what he was hired to do.
This is a very poor way to start off a relationship with the fans of your new home and demonstrates a very poor decision IMHO. Hopefully, his decisions from this point forward will be improved. But, between this and some of the extremely questionable picks he is making for his staff (5 of his assistant coaches weren't even involved in coaching this year while 2 are hold overs from this years abomination in Lincoln. Great start Bo.) I have a feeling we are in for another long 4-5 until we get to do this all over again in 2011 or 2012.
I was excited for a few hours on Sunday but after that wore off and you start looking at the reality of the situation things don't look nearly as rosy.
