I wouldn't fire Bo

[The Dude]

MichiganMan, would Pelini be on your short list to replace Hoke?

[gossamorharpy]

Do you guys think Jim Harbaugh would want to coach here?

Why even waste your time typing that? That's a pipe dream that will never happen..

 

Why even waste my time typing a response....

I'm all for bringing in great coordinators, but that would be an easier sell with an HC that has a clear vision and is a great recruiter. Not sure we have that.

[Hayseed]

Risk is too high to go into a tail spin like Michigan, Notre Dame (pre Kelly), Tennessee, and Miami. I would get new coordinators. Open the checkbook and get the best.

 

Nebraska will finish with 10 wins and that's something to be proud of. Nebraska will play in a great January 1st bowl.

 

Relax, it could be worse, you could be Michigan :/

Good point. Part of the problem is still recruiting...we're getting good players, but not the super studs who dominate the field.

My belief in Bo stems from the quote "You'll never appreciate how good something is, until its gone."

 

I would much rather have a consistent 9 or 10 win season, than run the risk of bringing in a coach who spirals the program back down. Do I want the Huskers to win championships? Hell yes!

 

Can Bo win championships at Nebraska? Maybe. Can he win them somewhere else? Maybe. Can the Huskers do better under a different coach? Maybe.

 

But I guarantee you this, the chances the Huskers can do better under a different coach are just about equal that they fall to another 7, 6, 5 win season under a different coach. Are you ready to ride that storm if that happens?

7 years is more than enough evidence to suggest that Pelini will never get it done here. Things need to change, and Pelini is unwilling or unable to make the changes needed. Therefore the only remaining option is to change.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I would love to see that happen.

SE is a coward, he'll never fire Bo

 

^^^This. I think Eichorst is a good to very good admin, but he's not going to "own" this issue. He'll wait until the decision gets made for him (i.e. team wins 5 or less OR major boosters demand a change). Can't blame him. Personally, I don't think Eichorst/Perlman have it in them to hire anyone better. Would love to see BP gone at this point but don't see it happening...

 

If he (SE) is a good admin, he might see a way to make things happen. Don't fire Bo. But get out the checkbook and pay the best OC and DC that money can buy. Tell (tell, don't ask) Bo that these are going to be his staff. If he's not happy, he can resign. He wouldn't stand for that....he leaves....we don't fire him and change happens. Just better have the goods all lined up before making that kind of power play.

Exactly. It's a hard sell getting top level coordinators to work for a coach who everyone else sees as a dead man walking.

[EbylHusker]

Do other coaches see Bo as a dead man walking? Would they if he was out there getting experienced, outside help? Coaches tend to see things differently than fans.

[strigori]

Everyone thought he was fired last year. Hell, Pelini though he was fired last year.

I think they do. Offer enough money to someone and we might get somebody though. He had a chance to get an experienced coordinator after Watson and chose his Youngstown buddy. He refuses to admit that his scheme doesn't work w/o Suh or Dorsey. We have been fighting this battle for some time.

 

Time for his head to roll imo.

[huskerscott]

Firing a coach winning 9 games year after year is Steve Pederson like. No coach worth a damn would come here. The expectations "the greatest fans in college football" have set anymore are ridiculous.

 

If you want a new coach then start hoping for 3-9 records.

[EbylHusker]

That doesn't answer my questions at all. And by everyone, do you mean fans or the majority of coaches? If the latter, can you provide something to back up your claim?
