Apparently Penn State talked to Bo about HC gig

We couldn't get that lucky, theres legacies to protect. I surely wouldn't bring back the Frank Solich reunion circus which is what we got. First and foremost I would have told Callahan he fires Cosgrove or GTFO years ago. Same with Pelini and his Cottonesc type hires. When you have a failure such as Barney and you start firing people that got you 9 wins in your first season and keep Barney and his half dozen assistants, there is no hope. Yet another thing I would rather have be PSUs problem.

 

I would call PSU and beg them to take Pelini to assure at least one win per season by running straight at his defense with an occasional pass towards Cassidy type recruits.

 

I wouldn't cater to the Frank was robbed and we need to run ugly option football that anyone who stacks the box can stop.

 

I wouldn't allow unethical things like putting Cottons entire family through college.

 

Pay a little attention to Michigan, go after a proven winner with experience, someone who has taken total crap and turned it around. I would have already been flirting with people like Chris Peterson, Gary Patterson, hell I would take Leach over Pelini

and you just lost the last remaining, almost non-existent, micron of credibility you had left...

So did you, Leach won a whole lot of game against quality opponents and rarely got his butt handed to him. Pelini also treats media, fans, and players a lot worse than Leach ever did. Do I want Leach, no, I was stating I would trade him for Pelini any day of the week

So you don't want him, but you would trade Leach for Pelini? Bo has actually been to confrence championship games, won 10 games consistently, and has had stellar defenese every where he has been. Not to mention he has a MNC ring as a DC.

It would have been interesting to see what Leach would have done in the North, we saw what he did to Pelini and would have continued to do

Don't get me wrong...but I believe Bo Pelini has been on a national championship winning team in some form. I may be reaching...but I think he's a proven winner.

 

You must've not been around from 2004-2007, but, again I may be forging these memories, Nebraska was pretty much the epitome of "total crap". And Bo has turned the dog crap program that Nebraska was and has made it a stable winner. I don't think consistently winning means jack s**t to you, but consistently winning is something to strive for. It's what all the great programs have shown at some point during their history's.

 

National championships aren't the result of a one year process, as most people like to claim. National championships are the products of many season's of work, taking the players you have recruited and turn them into the players you want to see. You have to consistently win over seasons to take a jump into a national title frontrunner. Name one program who went from a losing record in one year to a national championship the next year. You can't do it.

 

Bo preaches about the process, national championships are a process--it doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't happen over a year. It takes time.

When Pelini glares and acts like a 10 year old school yard bully ready to explode at any time and his consistent sideline antics makes a helluva lot more

 

What? I don't speak Spanish!

 

I've got no idea - i just get those errors sometimes on HB. Every since you guys upgraded either the theme, or to 3.2.2 i've had some issues transitioning between browsers. this is just one of them. i'm actually getting ready to implement a board for a company and trying to decide between IP.Board and vBulletin. kind of on the fence.

 

I don't like the latest upgrade to IP Board, either. The version before this one was the best. The posting stuff is a pain on this version, and the user control panel and personal pages are way worse.

He had Nebraska's number, but does that make him a better coach? No. He had one season that was worth a damn at Texas Tech, other than that he won 7-8 games a year. Give me Bo before the Pirate anyday.

I was serious when I presented those questions to you. I was really hoping to get a similar response minus the "outside the box" scenario that kchusker_chris presented in a nice logical format. Something realistic in a persuasive speech kind of way.

 

The scenario I presented you was already laid out for you without having to attack anyone in the process since I offered that Pelini & Osborne were both gone in that scenario. Yet you continued to grind your axe using hyperbolic platitudes. We get it, you're severely unhappy with the current state of affairs at North Stadium. If you want to be taken seriously, because it is possible to be dissatisfied, yet have a valid argument to back it up, then take the floor and present some realistic solutions without resorting to ridicule.

Wow. You have got to be the most negative freaking person on this board. It's gotten to the point where I can't even tell if you're trolling or just a truly depressed individual.

It's been obvious since his first post and screenname that he's only here for one reason. But for some reason this board has a perverse fascination with keeping trolls around.

 

Meh, keeps things interesting, I suppose.

Meh indeed, I should lock step with the dreamy eye batting for Bo crowd. Maybe even whine about Callahan once and awhile and try and get Solich back while I'm at it. Are there anymore Cottons we have to put through college? I sure hope so!!! Better?

Or you can ditch both of those idiotic extremes and be a reasonable person. But I could see how that would make it difficult to get a rise out of people, and then you'd have no reason to post here.

[kchusker_chris]

As much as this hurts I gonna have to agree with Kchusker you credibilty is gone after that comment. How many times did Leech make the Big 12 Championship game?

and for that, i give you...

Wow. That hurts, Dude.

I think we all know I wasn't talking about you. We all fear and respect the Pineapple as your rule with an iron fist.

 

It's a prickly fist. Pineapples are prickly.

 

 

It's an optical illusion!

No, you should just rehash all the tripe we hear about Bo ad infinitum around here. Oh, wait. That's what you're doing.

 

You're right, it's a Huskerboard, just let me know how you want me to feel about us getting blown out in these pathetically easy schedules and I can add to all the excitement of getting punked by Northwestern at home, maybe Osborne should have taken their HC out for dinner while he was in town

[NoKoolAidForME]

Why should Bo proclaim 100% commitment when our fan base does not do the same. After ever loss or bad game there is talk about him being overrated, not being the guy, or my favorite Bo must Go. So its okay for fans and media to waver on their commitment to Bo and his coaching staff, but Bo should be solid an unwavering? Not sure if this is fair.

 

Why should he?

So his perceived dishonest nature doesn't hurt recruiting.

Do you thing any coach is going to get all gazillion fans of any program to agree on what kind of job he's doing?

The true measure of a coach in this situation should be how he deals with this sort of adversity.

Did you talk to another school is not adversity to me. Some of the problems going on in the CFB right now are real adverse situations. I know this feels weird but this is what is like to be back in the national spotlight. Your staff is constantly inquired and raided. We should be happy our coach is considered for other jobs. That means people out there think he is a decently good coach. I think you should also be aware what it means to be approached and offered a job. If an A.D.'s runner comes to either Pelini or his agent and says; Are you familiar with Delta Bravo University? Did you hear they fired their coach? Did you know they may look at you as a replacement? Would you have any interest? That could be categorized as being approached.

 

Isn't that code for douchebag?

DB stand for douchebag?
