Ulty Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If Taylor Martinez is out, our Freshman quarteback plays well, and our defense acheives some modest goals, like holding a few opponents to under 200 yards rushing, we can take two or three losses and Bo keeps his job. It needs to look like this team is fighting, and that something is improving. A bowl win would seal another year. But the bigger issue is the bad mojo. Winning cures everything, but short of winning out this team needs to take the flavor of apathy and mediocrity out of everyone's mouth. I don't thin Pelini can survive another outright embarrassment. All of the above except for taking two or three losses. I think any more than one more loss is a tall order, but 7-5 under any circumstances might be too much to bear. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Agree with those saying it's not ONLY about wins and losses. However, I'll say less than 8 wins and he's out. 8-4 could go either way - really depends on who and how. 9 wins or better and he gets another year. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You mean there's still a chance he's the HC next year and the years after? Ohh boy. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I guess it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I will stick with what I said right after the leak. 9-3 and he probably stays. 8-4 or worse, he's probably done. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think he needs 3/5. yes. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He has to win this weekend. A loss and he is gone. He can lose to Michigan, but it has to be close, no rout. He has to beat Michigan State, to give us any hope we are going to improve under his leadership. He has to beat a down trodden Penn State. A loss to an under talented/numbers team can not be accepted. So he needs to go 4 of 5. But that number will be very hard for them to do, with the attitude on display. On the other side, if he should lose to the teams I have him needing to win, but keeps it competitive, the team plays like it has direction, determination, desire and gives a sense of coming around to what some say they are capable of, he could keep his job. Just play like it is important, every snap. He needs to beat Iowa, that is bragging rights to the area. he will lose 2 or 3 of the remaining games. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Unfortunately I think he can only lose @ Michigan. Any more or any other opponent and I think hes out. Sorry to say it cause I like the guy. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 the weak schedule may be the only thing that saves his ass........but another season of bungled coaching and poor line play will have us right back here next season, thoroughly disappointed... Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I agree with the one loss. But hoping that he can get it squared away. I really do not want to start over again. But if we do, Nebraska has to get a qualified/experienced coach that brings in qualified assistants. No more Newbies. Quote Link to comment
clone Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 W (55/45 chance)-Northwestern L-@ Michigan L-Michigan St. W-@Penn St. W-Iowa Bo stays. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I still think he needs to make it to Indy and there is no excuse with this schedule. If he loses 3 out of the next 5 he's gone IMO. Quote Link to comment
boach_clack Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 The thing that worries me the most is I do not think Minnesota can beat any of those teams on our remaining schedule. Quote Link to comment
Redmusky Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 What did Tom say to Bill about wins and losses ? I think it was 6-6 your out 7-5 was border line and 8-4 you were safe. Maybe someone remembers the correct wording TO used. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 With no blowout losses or losses to unranked teams, I don't think he'll have much trouble keeping his job. Quote Link to comment
