thanks for the great link. I don't check the OWH site often enough. Spend most of my online time here reading threads. Thoughts to ponder. BC may have been a little shocked at the magnitude of enthusiasm in the state. Bet ya he doesn't anymore. The article I think hit it on the head that BC wants to keep a low profile and reduce the chance of any negative vibes getting out so close to LOI day. Especially since we all know how objective the media is.

I do not think the pressure got to Bill, but I do think he underestimated the talent he had here. The QB position is the most important position in the west coast offense and without a solid QB it just does not work. Next year will be much better.

You mean overestimated?

Bottom line is he stunk up the place and I think he thought it was going to be a honeymoon for a couple years well thats just not the case. Everyone said we would see so much improvement over the course of the year. That just didn't happen if anything the opposite.

I think he thought it was going to be a honeymoon for a couple years well thats just not the case. 

I would agree, except he said at a press conference after I forget what game "You don't come to Nebraska for honeymoon." If you want, I can dig to find after what game but I want to say the k-state game.

 

Anyway,

 

He knew there would be pressure. But I think he underestimated the pressure unruly fans and media can place on someone in Nebraska. I am especially disturbed to hear that some of these coaches families have been harrassed. Now that's taking a it a bit to far folks IMO.
