Some stats for Solich

[Zaimejs]

My brother the actuary did a quick stat breakdown. Here are the numbers:

 

Here are some stats regarding blowouts (losses by 20 points or more) and big losses (8 points or more) for Osborne, Solich, Callahan, and Pelini. . .

 

Osborne

Years coaching - 25

Total big losses (including blowouts) - 27 (1.08 per year)

Blowouts - 9 (.36 per year)

 

Solich

Years coaching - 6

Total big losses - 11 (1.83 per year)

Blowouts - 7 (1.17 per year)

 

Callahan

Years coaching - 4

Total big losses - 14 (3.50 per year)

Blowouts - 7 (1.75 per year)

 

Pelini

Years coaching - 5.25

Total big losses - 11 (2.10 per year)

Blowouts - 8 (1.52 per year)

 

So, Pelini's rate of humiliation is somewhere between Solich and Callahan.

Hmm... interesting

Surely this can't be leading up to a Solich for Husker HC bid, can it? Because here's the only stat I need to know: Born September 8, 1944.

Same day as Bill Snyder, just one century later.

Man is that depressing. Compare it to Saban, Stoops, Meyer, and Tressel!!!

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

What point is trying to be made here?

[I am I]

Did you hear? He also railed against the fans for leaving early!!!!!!!

 

He was having us kiss his ass goodbye out the door.

 

How about not cheering for Pelini anymore then! Just cheer for the players and the school. See where we are when, in six years Pelini has over 60 wins. Everyone remembers the losses, unless they Remeber championships.

 

We've been playing for (and pretty close to 2) 3 in only 5 years.

 

I'll be shocked if we don't play for/win one this year--that's 4 in 6 years (hopefully). Bo has given us a CHANCE; in today's CFB world, that's better than 90% of the teams.

 

Spoken.

Just a couple interesting facts about Saban. From: http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Nick_Saban

1998 – On November 7, 1998, the Spartans upset the No. 1 ranked Ohio State 28–24 at Ohio Stadium. However, even after the upset and an early-season rout of then-highly-ranked Notre Dame the Spartans finished 6–6, including three last-minute losses featuring turnovers, defensive lapses, and special-teams misplays, and failed to earn a bowl invitation.

 

1999 – Saban led the Spartans to a 9–2 season that included wins over Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. However, the two losses were routs at the hands of Purdue and Wisconsin. Following the final regular-season game against Penn State, Saban abruptly resigned to accept the head coaching position with LSU. Saban's assistant head coach and successor, Bobby Williams, then coached MSU to a Citrus Bowl victory over Florida, giving the Spartans an overall record of 10–2 for the 1999 season. It would be the best season in terms of wins for the Spartans since 1965, and it would see the Spartans reach their highest ranking since the 1966 team.^[20] Future NFL Head Coach Josh McDaniels served as a Graduate Assistant on Saban's 1999 coaching staff.

 

In 2000, the Tigers went 8–4 and won the Peach Bowl. The season was somewhat marred by several lopsided losses, including a 34–17 loss to the Auburn Tigers, a 13–10 loss to the UAB Blazers, and a 41–9 loss to the Florida Gators.

Please don't. I don't have enough zoloft to help me through those stats.

You mean it took longer than 6 years to build a winning formula???!!!?

 

Fire Bo now! Especially since he cursed at fans for not being patient (even 60 minutes patient during the biggest comeback in school history!) enough to wait like they did for Tom to win his first CCG; and 2 6-4 seasons of devaney?

[husker ponsler]

BO has us on the right track. everybody needs to stop being so thin skinned. I'm sure we all have said things in private we wouldn't want leaked out.the football team is in a much betterplace than it was when he got the job. KEEP BO he is a good coach.

[Zaimejs]

I wasn't saying anything about firing Pelini. Just sharing math.

Yup. Bad games happen, but the general direction is important.

 

Bo knows football.

Saban's first five years as a coach (just the "big losses"):

1995 - Lost by 40 to NU, Lost by 14 to Iowa, Lost by 31 to Michigan St., Lost by 19 to LSU

1996 - Lost by 41 to NU, Lost by 10 to Louisville, Lost by 16 to Michigan, Lost by 38 to Stanford

1997 - Lost by 16 to Michigan, Lost by 24 to tOSU, Lost by 28 to Washington

1998 - Lost by 34 to Oregon, Lost by 12 to Michigan, Lost by 23 to Penn St.

1999 - Lost by 24 to Purdue, Lost by 30 to Wisconsin, Lost by 24 to Ohio St.

 

So that's 3.4 big losses per year and 2.2 blowouts per year. Makes Callahan look not so bad.

How is his love-child doing? Wonder what his child support payments are. Maybe he and Carl can trade stories.
