Count 'Bility Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So Youngstown St was interested in a former, and rather successful, upper level Power5 coach for their tiddly FCS program, but needed a reference from Osborne first? You think anyone is hired without checking references? Ever? That's the point I was making in a backdoor kinda way. Someone said that with reference to Riley not being able to get ahold of TO (again, like it frickin matters anyway) and insinuated that TO making a positive reference of Bo to Tressel was some prophetic event saying we shoulda kept the guy or some sh#t. I found it comical and find the converstation as nothing more than a reference check. But it's Tressel, Bo, Osborne, and Nebraska. So we're all supposed to drop everything and care.

Count 'Bility Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sker, do you have a link to this reference, I would love to read it. Google "Jim Tressel Tom Osborne". I woulda just posted a link, but there are numerous ones after the first. Sker aint lying, but he seems to be greatly exaggerating the importance of this, cuz frankly I, as well as many others probably, dont (and shouldnt) give a sh#t. Quote Link to comment

The tension between Osborne and Perlman is hurting the football program. Quote Link to comment

I am I Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The point is, I heard about how great he was from the days Callahan was failing, what a great catch he would be. I knew the things he did when he left the first time, absolutely nothing positive towards Nebraska, then for seven years how great he was, up until the last month he walked on water around here. Even though he had stated numerous times how much he hated being here, the fans, the administration, the pressure, and in some ways the traditions. Had allowed some of the worst defeats this program has ever seen. Far worse than his predecessor. Yet every single day, we see posts about the guy, how things could have been. Some are like girlfriends dropped, if I had only been better, I might still have such and such. He is gone. WE have a new coach, discuss the positive, move forward. He brought us absolutely nothing in the long run of things. Unless you consider a lot of hate, discontent, and a huge public black eye. Time to move on to our new coach. Bo is not coming back, EVER! Embrace the new coach, the old one had way more than a fair chance. He blew it. Move on. Stop the poor we miss Bo threads, talk about something interesting that moves the program forward out of this mess, quit rolling in it. Dang man, chill out. I think Bo knows more about football and defensive scheme than MOST on this board. I'm glad he got fired because I couldn't stand anymore blowouts on the field, or blowups off the field. But let's not pretend the guy couldn't coach. I hope the new guys can take the horses and do better than Bo. Seems like a few adjustments and less ego will go for miles around here anyway. But man, just chill. Not everyone has to think your way about the situation and be berated for their opinion. Let it go, he's fired. Quote Link to comment

If the football players are actively worried about the chancellor, then their focus is way off or they're being fed something they shouldn't be by a coach. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I feel like Im on Oprah whenever I venture into a Bo thread "YOURE A BO LOVER, AND YOUR A BO LOVER AND UOOOOUR A BO LOVER! ALL OF YOU AR BO LOVERS!". Skersfan, nobody seems to care that your tenure of hatred for the man exceeds everyone elses. This thread isnt for you, thats okay. Quote Link to comment

You can apply that to guys on the team, not guys that graduated a decade ago. Not necessarily, we've had coaches with questionable motives for awhile, including. Bo Pelini in 03.

StPaulHusker Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Does any of this matter anymore? He's gone. His assistants are gone. Mike Nobler is gone. Lets talk about happier things. 3 Quote Link to comment
