Exactly. He's like a blind man walking through a mine field, refusing guidance. Boom. Boom. Boom. Stupid. i dont agree with this at all. He said he would address it at a later time, i dont see what else he needs to say. Props for the journalists doing there jobs but Bo cant comment on it right now. Its pretty simple. The press confrence was to focus on the recruits and he did as good of job as he could to keep it on track. It is absurd to pretend that the only thing that should be talked about at this time is the recruiting class, which Bo wasn't even going to get specific with in the first place. We're making major changes to our coaching staff, and Bo wants to pretend we're only doing some mini chit-chat about recruits. It's like putting a bow on a birthday present when you just cut an artery. Let's address the important things first, huh? And when the cat's out of the bag, DO NOT LIE to us about what's going on. Bo is making it quite clear that he views his relationship with the press and the fans as a confrontation, not as a cooperative effort. We all have our roles in this thing, and acting like he's doing this alone is completely wrong. Shutting out your shareholders is a pretty poor way to run a public company. That's what Bo is doing. Dumb. Exactly. I owe ya a +1 sometime, as I am all out. Why are some people struggling to see this People see things differently. I may say a color is purple and you may call it blue. It doesn't do any good to try to force me to think it's blue. It's not the fact of how people see things it goes back to denying this vs a no comment. A lot of posters, including many of the most respected, agree on this point. If you don't want to address it just say no comment. By denying something that has already been put out by Raymond's boss(Wilson) makes you look very foolish. You can say no comment to every question and come out looking like you have more integrity then calling out another head coach as a liar. He did it the first time it was broached, but then couldn't help but stick his foot in his mouth. Again Bo's handling of the situation warrants a knapplc's example of shareholders is perfect. As the CEO, when you know your company is tanking do you sit their and lie to your main backers? No. Hecould have did better by just always saying two words instead of trying to refute what has been made known.

The press confrence was to focus on the recruits and he did as good of job as he could to keep it on track. Yes, I can see him trying to keep the focus on recruiting, but the cat is out of the bag. Most of the state knows about this. Kevin Wilson said it and it was in no way malicious. But to come out and deny this has happened is ludacris. Bo made himself look fairly foolish. knapplc said it right, you could put one bomb in that mine field and Bo would find it.

Maybe Bo has been honest with the recruits and has just asked/trusted them not to come out with any of this. Remember a few weeks ago Jamal Turner slipped up and released some stuff about Beck being the new OC. All of our recruits said that thet loved how honest they were with them. Maybe they already know... That is my point. They should know and now it should be addressed. EVERYONE wants to know about the coaching situation not what Bo feels about the class in which he wouldn't comment on individual recruits. It is BS that it has been announced publicly by another HEAD COACH, and Bo can't divulge a thing and adamently denies it. That is the BS

Why hate on a reporter for asking the question that everyone is wondering? Like it or not, Bo can't just decide which questions can and can't be asked of him. Any real reporter worth his salt wouldn't let the person getting interviewed get away with that. You can't make him answer the question, but he sure as hell can't keep you from asking the question. It's not like Dirk is disrespectful in the way he asks the question. I say good for Dirk for not cowering to Bo like everyone else. But didn't you think it made those reporters who asked coaching questions look like jerks? Bo told everyone before hand that he was only responding to recruiting questions then a couple of reporters asked about coaching changes. What part of 'I'm not going to discuss coaching changes during this time' do you not get? That's how it came off to me. I think that Bo IS going to make coaching changes. He said that there would be a time to discuss that topic but it wasn't now. He might not have fired any coaches or hired anyone right now but whose contract wasn't renewed or who left on their own accord? I think Bo was much more relaxed doing the teleconference versus a live conference with people breathing down his neck. Just my take No, they were doing their job. They know about the recruits as much as we do. The elephant was in the room. Just acknowledge it

If true this really sucks, i wonder what made Marvin want t leave? Ya idk. Something is going on though. The friend also said that marvin would stay on the payroll for another six months or something like that. I guess i dont understand how u can still get paid from the university if you resign? we will see if he knows what he is talking about soon. Can't see the 6 months thing considering assistants contracts expire this month

Sounded like Sipple's lap dog Brian Christopherson. it was mitch sherman

I am sorry, but this needed to be addressed TODAY. The cat is out of the damn bag. They recruits should have been in the know otherwise it kinda goes against everything Bo stresses when it comes to recruiting. Being open, straight forward, and being sure of a commitment. This is utter BS.

This needs to be addressed. Bo slightly beat around the bush with it. Props to the Omaha World Herald for trying to get answers

I knew it would be Chatlain. What an asshat, knowing how Bo would respond. But major props for having the juevos for doing it

Atta boy Dirk I knew you'd screw this up

Christ knapplc I don't even know why I listen. Your post are like five minutes before I hear it

How come no one wants to address the 2000 lb elephant in the room. WHere is Dick C. from the World Herald when ya need him

I am not going to even try to compare any one to him. It was just a reference that not every stud is a 4 or 5 guy. But what has this offense shown to you that a "stud" receiver would want to come here, and let alone be able to produce like they'd want?

Let's hope there's no collateral recruiting damage. The recruits would HAVE to know don't you think

Exactly. What is Bo gonna do come out and deny it? This will be the first question asked in the teleconference. And I think Kevin Wilson has no reason to coordinate this with NU. He was probably asked the question and gave the answer. This is blowing up in Bo's face for staying so mum on the situation in my opinion. yes, that can be good during this huge day, but all recruits should know what the situation with the staff is. And I think they all do. Kinda like the saying karma can be a biatch

You do realize Blackmon was one of those "crappy" 3

Beat me to it zoogs. +1 ya. It was confirmed during the presser at Indiana

Have you seen the kid play? He is a PHENOMINAL athlete. You definitely put the resources into a kid like this even if the chances aren't the best of him coming here.

I think it is deeper than LB coach

Diaz is in the house in the Little Crapple. Participated in the team shoot around. There should be no excuse now. THis is a MUST win

Yep, sorry, you are absolutely right. Somehow I missed seeing the FIRST name on the Idaho website list. Yes I gave myself three facepalms for this brain fart

Not trying to get a ton of hopes up but there is a SLIGHT chance for another. Aspeedlin and I have talked a little, but Dion Bass has yet to sign his LOI with Idaho and with the misses of Virgile, Turene, Grimble there is an outside chance that this guy could end up here. I am pretty sure it would be after tomorrow since it is a dead period and an offer can't be extended right now. BUT it is something to keep an eye on EDIT Never mind I am human

Their whole football board is collapsing over there. Some are calling it their worst "NLI day EVER" As it should be. How many of the top recruits in Arizona went elsewhere? Pretty much ALL of them. It reminds me of sCUm last year failing to sign any of the top 15 recruits out of Colorado last year.

The stream of Schick and Nick when they had a conference call with CJ and Santos must be linked. It was great.
