*** The Official Wisconsin Badgers Game Discussion Thread ***


Recommended Posts


Except when we had Suh for a few years, we have been bad on defense every since Charlie McBride retired. How they hell can we go through so many D-coordinators that cannot win the big game. Bohl, B. Pelini , Cosgrove, C. Pelini, Papuchis

 

ALL BAD!!!

 

and for anyone who wants to claim what a "great coordinator" Bo is don't forget that when he was NU coordinator in 2003, Nebraska lost 41-24 to Missouri, 31-7 to Texas, and 38-9 to K-State.

What's better new coach and painful couple years or Bo cleans house and we attempt to save the talent we have? That's my dilemma. I don't know how to feel after this again. Teams disappointing this game but I love some of the guys we have.

How is this not painful already? It happens against good teams several times a year for awhile already :/

I don't even think it takes years of "pain" we have plenty of talent to win the B1G we Just have a terrible staff

Makes me sick to hear announcers making fun of the coaching staff at NU or poking jokes at the NU defense...it is absolutely despicable, yet they are not in the wrong....we have become at joke at the national level....a change must be made

And I was pi$$ed we dropped 3 after a bye..........

Like you've said, we not only play portly after bye weeks, but we seem to be unable to adjust mid-game when we designed doesn't work...just sick of being out coached by other competitive teams

Urban and Gus say hello. The right guy comes right in and gets us competitive. Losses happen. Blowouts don't need to. A competent staff, with our talent, keeps game sclose.

 

I'll take my chances with a new staff

 

No, no....I meant the painful stuff happens to US when we play good teams several times a year every season. I would have said 4 times but didn't want to say the obvious. Therefor there shouldn't be fear about getting someone else in.

BP is a great def coordinator, not very good as head coach.. he lets his heart dictate his choice in assistants... I don't know who you could possibly bring in when you fire a 9 win coach, but Nebraska has to do something or resign themselves to being an also ran... 56 yrs I've bleed Husker red and I've never witnessed the type of losses we have under the past two coaches... Change is needed from the top down... I am sick of the same old same old... I feel bad for the players, they follow this staff with blind faith.. it's to bad we don't have coaches that can handle pressure... Hire Scott Frost he can't do any worse than Bo. Scott would probably hire a Def Coor than can bring back blackshirt dominance instead of the bend don't break bulls==t bo brings...

 

I can't believe TA is still in the game.... get a clue Bo

Craig Bohl is another example. Bad DC (big picture guy). Great HC.

 

I was just having this same conversation with my brother. Craig Bohl would be a home-run hire as head coach for Nebraska. I even think he could convince Scott Frost to be his offensive coordinator.

 

Bo was brought here to fix the defense, and in year 7 his most talented team gives up the single game rushing record in 3 quarters. It's time for a clean sweep in the coaching office.

 

 

Guys - I do most of my posting over on other message boards. I don't post much, unless compelled to.

 

Let me say what I have to say, agree or disagree.

 

Bo Pelini is one heck of a coach. I think his defensive schemes are great. Hell, they won a national championship, and helped contribute to a Super Bowl. That being said....

 

Bo Pelini should not be the head coach at The University of Nebraska. Here's my argument why...

 

I'm sure he'll get into the post game presser and will use at least one (if not all) of these lines:

 

"We just didn't execute."

"We got outcoached."

"You were out there, you saw it. What do you think?"

 

This has been the same every time his team is beaten by a top 25 opponent. Badly.

 

I used to coach myself. No, I didn't coach at the level these guys do. But, to me, a coach at any level is one two things - a teacher, and an example.

 

He's the guy who gets the team together. He keeps them composed. He keeps them believing in him and themselves. He makes them into a family.

 

I don't see that, and never have, in Bo. Which pains me to say that, because I was one of his main supporters for him being here.

 

All he has done this entire game is:

 

Screamed at refs.

Screamed at players

Screamed at assistant coaches.

 

Where's he at trying to teach? Where's he at trying to compose the team? He's got a Sophomore QB who isn't playing well - where's he trying to encourage him at?

He's got a guy who was a Heisman trophy candidate who is battling an injury. This same guy has put it on the carpet today and hasn't played well at all - where's the Head Coach at trying to encourage his player?

 

We're all looking at this team...wondering why they fumble the ball....why they get penalties on the first play of the series coming right out of a time out or a change of possession....why they are so out of position against great players.

 

Lack.

Of.

Discipline..

 

If the head coach shows no poise...how can you ask the team to show any? And that's why this team plays without poise and discipline quite often. This is why ball security (another lack of discipline) is such a problem with this team.

 

Who can replace him? Craig Bohl was out there. Scott Frost is coaching right now at a top 10 team. Kirby Smart is the defensive coordinator at the #5 team in the country right now. There are plenty of guys that can replace Bo.

 

Just one man's opinion. I didn't want to give up on Bo. But after this, I had to.

Gotcha. My bad. I agree with you. It can't get worse.........Right staff and our talent and a weak B1G.....

It isn’t just a matter of wins and losses; it’s how you do it. If you lose by a field goal and play well, that’s a little bit different than getting blown out three or four times. I tried to make sure that they completely understood. It isn’t all about winning and losing. Believe me, I understand that. If you lose a fairly large number of games by a significant margin and you have fairly good players, which I think we do, then I think there are some systemic issues. I think the players were treated well. But there was something wrong evidently.
