Junior Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Was the audio recorded by one of his players? Not cool. Again with "who made the recording"?? Who the hell cares? Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Eichorst will be a lot more visible to everyone now that Riley is here. For one, I think he was avoiding Pelini until he could fire him. Secondly, Riley will demand that Eichorst is more involved. Eichorst and Bo clearly had different personalities. SE could have been around Bo and the program more, but Bo could have seen that as "micromanaging" by a non-coach. Eichorst and Riley have similar personalities, so that relationship will undoubtedly be better. Quote Link to comment

That's what the coaches are for. yeah. and why is bo so needy that he needs the reassurance of the ad? just coach the f'ing games and win. jesus, get over yourself. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Man, that was childish. That is really all I can say. I am not sure that SE has the best way of handling the situation, but that is just being a child throwing a pity party tantrum. The big problem is that those kids aren't mature enough to necessarily see how childish and immature he is being when he says all those things. The upside to this is that most of them will forget about the situation and move on as soon as they get a chance to work with their new coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The AD's job is not the coddle the team and be their friend. It's to basically be the CEO of the entire athletics dep't. Hell, I didn't even think it was a thing that ADs did meet with players often. I assumed it was a kind of detached position, where you just oversee everything. Could Eichorst maybe be a little more public in his work? Yeah. But, that's a very minor criticism to blow up over like Bo did. 3 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Here's what is laughable and unbelievable about Bo. He expects others to do what he doesn't do himself. He expects his players to act like men and respect him and everyone else. Meanwhile, he doesn't respect anyone. He expects his boss (AD) to be out in public and "lead" the team and everyone by being accessible to people. Meanwhile, he despises the press and the fans and really had no desire to be out in public representing the team and program. This is a perfect example to everyone how how some people's minds work. HE is perfect and everyone else is trash. 5 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Most disappointing part about this is that most of the reason I supported him was that I thought he was genuinely a nice guy with a temper... Said some pretty unforgiving things.Agreed. I want to think he's a good dude generally, I mean, we've seen good aspects of him, but, man...No we haven't. We've seen a selfish narcissist a-hole willing to use anyone, including a sick kid to further his image.Thats f'ing bullsh#t!! I dont give two sh#ts what you think of the guy but to say he was using sick kids to make himself look better proves how delusional you and your whole vendetta were this whole time. Done. 9 Quote Link to comment

Hell, I didn't even think it was a thing that ADs did meet with players often. I assumed it was a kind of detached position, where you just oversee everything. I've said it a few times now. Osborne spoiled them. And apparently he spoiled Bo too. Osborne wasn't your normal AD. He probably loved being able to hang out with football players again. That was his job for 25 years. I find it unlikely that's what a normal AD does. Quote Link to comment

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 So Bo says something along the lines of "I knew Eichorst was a p---y when I met him" (read: he knew he was Harvey's guy) and you don't think that came thru to SE? So was SE supposed to pander to Bo's special needs when Bo never gave him a chance? He paints the picture that Eichorst wasn't involved but I can hardly imagine that Bo was ever very receptive to having him around. There's also the part about how he was pressing the administration after the Iowa game last year that just isn't true. They were going to fire him until TO stepped in and vetoed it. He should have been fired then and he probably should have been fired after the 2012 Wisconsin disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment

However, I could see how it's a big change going from TO, who was much more "hands-on", to Eichorst. I am not saying which way of doing the job is the best. Bo is more of an "old-school guy", so I am sure he got along very well with the way TO did things. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What a complete f-bag! Talks about integrity and character, but proceeds to act like this...all respect is gone now for me!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Obviously what Bo said and how he felt the need to say it speaks loads about Bo and his butt-hurt ways. I actually like Bo as a man, and dont think his intent was to try and burn the university down.. I think it was to tell the players what he actually thought and why things happened the way they did. He thinks the University of Nebraska with Shawn Eichhorst in command is a burning ship and is worried for his players. The main problem is that the players only deal with the coaches, and therefore what Eichhorst does or who he is really doesnt affect them in the short run. This all being said, I have major concerns with SE. He strikes me as the type of boss many people dislike. A yes-man who will lie to your face because he is to Chicken-S to tell you the truth. Right or wrong, i am concerned if we have a leader who only saw a guy he just fired 7-8 times for 20 minutes all year. I have seen my boss for more than 20 minutes today alone. Bo was a problem... I get he had to go and dont have an issue with him being fired. He didnt win the games that mattered... was time to move on. But that being said, he brings light to a serious problem of who is now in charge. 3 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Is there a link to the statement from the University? Sounds like Eichorst lays the smack down on Bo. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 if i am YSU, i have serious concerns about proceeding with the hire. bo is not a leader and should not work in a position to develop and nurture young men. Quote Link to comment
