FriendlyLurker2007 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 or just someone who will not accept 600yd meltdowns, and stop running the ball when you are ripping off 3-8yds per play, not very difficult imo. hope bo can turn it around Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Back to my original post - would we be at a terrible disadvantage if we had to compete wt Tx and USC for a coach? What Landlord said is very true - I don't think it has to be the next Saban but someone who can embrace our culture. I don't think we have to go through another 'coach in training' session. I mentioned in another thread...(and listed them back 4-5 years)...each year there are 4 or so schools that are considered better destinations than Nebraska. In addition to that, there are another 2-4 openings we'd have to compete against. So if it's TX/USC this year, it'll be something like Alabama/Florida/Michigan next year. Doesn't matter what year we decide to pull the plug on the Pelini deal, we'll be competing with a number of schools, and because of where recruiting is we'll be at a disadvantage to many of them.

junior4949 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Am I missing something here? Does anyone honestly believe Eichorst was hired to fire the football coach and hire a new one? I'm not buying it. Unless we undergo a major meltdown like 2007 or Bo leaves on his own accord, I can't see Eichorst heading up the committee for our next football coach this early in his tenure at UNL. If Eichorst doesn't head up the committee, do we put that trust back into TO's hands? Is that three strikes you're out or three times a charm? Quote Link to comment
Nebraska option Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Nebraska should go after kirby smart hard chad morris should be looked at randy shannon on d would be nice Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You're right that you're not in total disagreement with me. You're in total agreement Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 That's why I want Bo to succeed. He gets it. I have wanted to believe this. He runs a clean program. He has embraced publicly the history and traditions. He graduates good kids. This is a large part of why I have supported him in arguments with other Husker fans. BUT, there is a lot on this tape that flies in the face about what Nebraska is all about. Someone who "get's it" is not going to hate being here. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd have to think Eichorst is more than capable, otherwise he wouldn't be the AD at Nebraska. And putting it in TO's hands would completely undermine his position. I'm sure he'd consult TO, boosters, the president and a whole bunch of other people...but he'd be doing the hiring. Quote Link to comment

Well, not NOW, before this storm. Seems like many are taking comments from emotional time two years ago as Pelini's current thoughts. A lot has changed. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Let me put it another way. $ Byrne bolted for A&M because he didn't want to be the AD to fire Solich. Are we to believe TO retired because he didn't want to be the AD to fire Bo? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment

I have heard rumors ever since he was here that he was looking at other jobs. I dismissed them and supported Bo. I read somewhere now that he has been looking at other jobs as late as last winter.That That and the recording from two years ago are all I have to go on. Quote Link to comment

I read somewhere now that he has been looking at other jobs as late as last winter.That That and the recording from two years ago are all I have to go on. It's impossible to tell whether he is "looking" or "listening". I am never looking but get called 2-3 times a month. I always listen to what they have to say, because I might need them down the road and it would be rude to dismiss the caller. I'm sure it's no different for Bo. There's probably a handful of search firms in the US that handle these big-time coaching positions. If he pisses one of them off - they'll all know, and it'll impact his ability for find a position down the road if he needs to. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I remember Richt being a little bit on the hot seat before for being OK but not elite at Georgia. I think it was something about 9 win or 4 loss seasons. So I kinda feel like that'd be more of the same. Georgia has been a lot closer to being elite under Richt than we have under Bo. Maybe better recruiting plays a factor, but I see Richt as being an upgrade. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think Richt would be prettty good, but then I see their 6-7 season and wonder how that would fly here. And if maybe Bo just needs time. Quote Link to comment

And if maybe Bo just needs time. With our schedule, I don't see Richt fielding a 6-7 team here unless there's a complete and utter meltdown. At this point, with Richt (or any other better option that I'm aware of) not being directly available, I'm okay with giving Bo more time, but at the same time I won't be heartbroken if we go our separate ways with him.
