Will Bo Pelini ever win a National Championship at Nebraska (Poll)

[Foppa]

So much more goes into it then a simple yes or no. Schedule, others schedules, rankings, experience of players, etc.

 

The chances of him winning a NC anytime, whether it be at Nebraska or not are low. Just like every other coach in the nation.

 

Huskers had a 'favorable' schedule this year, according to just about everyone. Yet still managed to lose 4 games, 3 of them at home, and needed a hail mary to keep from having 5.

 

The future looks bright.

 

Was the experience there on defense? Its more then just one of the above happening in order to play, let alone, win a NC game. OSU might go undefeated and might not even make the BCS game just because the B1G has a bad perception.

 

I get your rationality on that. I guess my point was, NU is a long way from having to worry about that sort of problem. It'd be nice just to have that sort of issue.

People seem to forget it took Osborne about 20 years before he won his first MNC title

 

Meaning what exactly?

Meaning NU fans can be a fickle bunch and expect the team to win a MNC every damn year. If there's one thing I've learned over the years, Huskers fans can be a bunch of whiny-ass babies if things don't go the way they want them to go.

 

I think you'd be pretty damn hard-pressed to find a Husker fan that realistically expects a National Championship anytime soon.

The question didn't specify which sport...he may sneak on in there somehow....team horseshoes or something?

[knapplc]

He'll never win one here.

[Street Novelist]

He'll never win one here.

 

Whew! I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

[skersfan]

Correct Knapplc, there will never be a NC game played at Nebraska. You are 100% correct.

Buncha Internet funny guys round har!

[Sparker]

I'm sure I will get flamed for this, but I am honestly starting to wonder if the game/landscape/world/etc has changed enough that it just simply might never come back to us, regardless of who our coach is. I will always cheer, but I wonder.

 

 

PS

Never with Bo.

[NUpolo8]

Not unless they start allowing 4 loss wild cards into the new playoff.

[gamebreaker3233]

No, nothing leads me to think we can recruit and compete at a national championship level. We might win the BIG once in the next five years but thats our cieling right now, were not in SEC country or Texas, Oklahoma, or USC so recruiting is alot more difficult plus there is alot more parity in college football nowadays, I mean Baylor just won Big 12 and Duke played for the ACC championship.

[huskeraddict]

Nope. Unless there is some dramatic turnaround in his coaching style, his teams are far too sloppy and undisciplined to run the table.

Meaning....Frank Beamer hasn't won one and it's been well over 20. Winning a NC is just a long shot. I'd like to be in the hunt one of these years though....

[JJ Husker]

I said no and 3 years or less. I'm not confident he'll be here that long.

 

I would've said yes and within three years if the media would leave him alone, fans would stop leaving early when we're getting blown out, if we never had injuries, if the 2010's weren't so wildly different than the previous 40 year time span, and if message board posters were more supportive. But there will always be "explanations".

People seem to forget that Osborne played for National Titles long before he won one. People seem to forget that Osborne had 18 top 10 finishes, 24 top 15 finishes and NEVER finished a season unranked. Osborne's teams never showed up unprepared and his staff was never out coached even though sometimes the Huskers were outplayed on the field.

[Ziebol]

Elf with the nail on the head.
