Best assessment yet

Kaz can stay. Pap's got to go. I think that everything could change if Pelini would just hire one callused, weathered, salty, old DC that can show Pelini how things really work in big time college ball. Pelini really needs a mentor. If we could just get 3 years out of a proved, soon to be retired defensive guru, then things will be on track. It's got to be someone that really doesn't need the job and isn't afraid of or offended by Bo's tirades.

 

Not sure if this post is serious.

 

Bo doesn't know how big-time BCS ball works? He needs a mentor? Then he shouldn't be a HC at a major CFB program.

Hire a defensive guru for a few years? Isn't Bo supposed to be a defensive guru? Hell freezes over before Bo admits his scheme isn't working and opens himself up to outside opinions.

 

I don't see how someone can be called competent, let alone a guru when they break most of Cozgrove's bad records. Bo's defense works sometimes, but gets destroyed way too often.

I think your missing the point, Cosgrove was not the head coach. I think Bo is a defensive guru if he is coaching defense only. But he's not, he's the a HC who has had to waste his time trying to teach some underqualified assistants how to do their jobs. If he so wants to always have his hand in the defensive pot, he should be a defensive coordinator. If he is currently the true DC then he's doing a half assed job because he has other things to worry about too. I have no idea if Bo will be able to make the changes necessary to be a good HC or not.

That could be, but TO was able to handle the OC job and the HC job. In any case, Bo has to do something; this defense gets blown out on a regular basis.

not fair to compare TO to Bo. The offenses/defenses were much less complicated during TO's time. The demands on the head coaches are completely different. The parity is completely different as well. Not meaning to demean TO or protect Bo. Just saying this is apples and oranges.
