westgatehusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I still think Joe Glenn from Wyoming should get some consideration. Nebraska boy with a great resume at Northern Colorado and now turning Wyoming around. Remember, that's where we got Devaney! don't get too hung up on "He's were we got Devaney!" Aside from the fact that he's from nebraska I don't see alot of reason to take him over, say pelini. Quote Link to comment
kjstrouble Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I would love to see Bo in as coach. Or Turner Gill. Or someone that TO has interviewed and observed. Just want to see Callahan and Cosgrove gone. And no, I don't think Solich should come back, even if I did not like his firing at the time. Things have changed in the last four years, for everyone.

Flatout24 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I guess I'm not convinced he's the man for the job. I remember how he went ballistic at that last bowl game. I think he is a good defensive coordinator but I think someone stepping into this job needs to be not only knowlegable but also polished. For my part, I think someone like Turner Gill, who even though he is not as experienced, has a little more finesse than Bo. I just don't want to be embarrassed again by a coach who can't control his temper, then have to hear about it for weeks on end after the game. Any thoughts? TLS2 In one word answer.....YES!

The Snork Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Bo knows football. Quote Link to comment
callahanera16 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 yeah we want bo pelini Quote Link to comment
adc7236 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Bo may not be polished but I still think he will make a good HC. I am not sure Gill has enough experience yet. Quote Link to comment

TLS2 Some of the stuff I've been reading about him lately indicate he's matured a little while at LSU and seems to have a good handle on his priorities. Even laughing more. I "pity the foo" conference of the team that he ends up being the head coach for. I wouldn't mind having Gill either.. So many of you are basing your opinions on 4 year old data...Habits change. Especially when becoming the HBC somewhere or coaching with another staff. Habits die hard my friend. Unfortunately, the habits of this coaching staff never changed and now we're in the position we're in because of it. BC lost his team in Oakland, and now he's lost his team at NU. If Bo is hired, I'm sure we'll see a "few" outbursts. However, I do believe he's the kind of coach that his team would walk through fire for. In the end, I will support whoever TO chooses as long as it's not the current staff. I thought Solich wasn't treated fairly, so I really never got behind BC and staff. When they were brought in, I was pretty much just indifferent. I was hoping for the best, but my hoping for the best was soured early on in their time here. I don't think Gill is the guy at all, but if TO brings him in I will support him. Quote Link to comment

TLS2 When I talk to players that played for him, they all say Pelini has an incredible ability to motivate. He's a defensive genius, as far as I could tell, and that same game he got one damned penalty he also managed to completely shut down one of the nation's most potent offenses while leaving the offensive playcalling to someone else. Sometimes young coaches overreact, but all great coaches have the motivation factor in common. Pelini is a very special guy. Heaven forbid your FOOTBALL coach is a hardass. I think with the sissy-girl coaching philosophy we have now we forget what it's like to have a fire lit under your butt. That's football. What we forget is how much love Pelini gave his players. Any three and out, there wasn't anyone in the world more excited than Bo. I like seeing coaches hugging players and keeping their motors running. It's all about passion and intelligence.

TLS2 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I guess it has been 4 years and yes people do change and grow. Perhaps with TO's support, Bo could be the man. I'm all for a coach with passion as long as he can harness it and not make a fool out of himself. Bo did love the players and that was a good thing. Frankly, I think the new Head Coach will be someone that hasn't even been mentioned yet. But whoever it is I think the decision will be well thought out so that we won't have to go through this kind of crappola again. Thanks all for your input GBR!

Husker B Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I didn't want Pelini back then, and I don't want him now. I want a coach that has proven to be an excellent head coach in college football. Quote Link to comment
husker_fan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 B)--> QUOTE(Husker B @ Oct 20 2007, 03:11 PM) 245849[/snapback] I didn't want Pelini back then, and I don't want him now. I want a coach that has proven to be an excellent head coach in college football. the only problem with that is they are all taken. We are more than likely not gonna get a proven head coach. Just take a page from the steelers and hire a new young guy who hasn't been a head coach before. I really dont see a probelm with pelini or gill. It would suck if pelini became a head coach somewhere else and did really good, especially win a national championship. Quote Link to comment

SOCALHUSKER Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yes!!!! Bo Pelini for Head Coach of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers, because anything else would be uncivilized!! Quote Link to comment
ARO Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Brand new to the forum. It does not take experience to make a good coach. What it takes is having the right guy to fit your university. Is BO the guy. I do not know. I will let TO decide. Quote Link to comment
