StPaulHusker Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The teams Bo beat had a combined winning record of 50-63 (.442). The teams he lost to had a combined record of 39-14 (.736). The teams Riley has beaten so far have a combineD record of 6-4 (.600). The teams that he has lost to so far have a combined record of 10-4 (.714). So far, every team that Nebraska has played has a winning record, which doesn't mean much right now obviously. Just something to look at. What about overall? This is not Riley's first year as a HC It is here and that's what matters Yeah...and here he is under .500 which is even worse than his career record. C'mon. You are an educated person. It's been 5 games. Quote Link to comment

I have coached for a long time...Luck in always involved...good and bad. But 7 years of 9 wins can't be all luck (good or bad). Quote Link to comment

He beat weak teams, and sometimes beat a good team, and sometimes got curb stomped by good teams. He was consistent. On the other hand MR is less consistent. Once every 10 years he will win 10 games, a couple times in 10 years he will win 3 games. Neither should be HC at Nebraska. I can see the logic behind hiring Bo. A proven DC at major programs, he was headed to the NC game when he was hired. For MR, I see no logic in bringing a career 500 coach here. Quote Link to comment

The only proof we have of Bo is at NU and YSU (I think they are 1-3 or 2-2). No, I don't think Bo would be 2-3 right now. Do you? Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Bo could have been a good coach. Well, let me rephrase that. He is a good coach. That is where he needs to be...a position coach. He was absolutely horrible at managing a program. He was a good enough coach to win enough that he got 7 years. Problem was, his ego got in the way of him growing as a program manager. That same ego drove him to alienate himself from the two groups that could have saved his job here...(media and fans). This entire vendetta that it seems like some people have about ....."well, some fans acted like this when Bo was here so I'm going to act like this while Riley is here...." is getting really old and it makes those particular fans look like a 5 year old little girl that is mad at her best friend for not letting her play with her favorite doll.

I think a Bo coached team would have been run out of the building at Miami. BYU was probably a toss up. And Bo is known for losing a game a year that he shouldn't. Would it have been Illinois? Maybe not. But the alternatives to Illinois are even less appealing. Quote Link to comment

So if you want to use the "losing to a team he shouldnt" which I agree with and it totally fair, I think you also have to use the "He wins at least 9 games" right? Quote Link to comment
Joe_5700 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We would have a better record than 2-3 if our old coach were retained. I am not saying he should have been retained, because we all know he was an unprofessional ass... He needed to go, but we could have made a hire that would not have us at 2-3 and very possibly 2-4 after this weekend. As far as luck, our former coach didn't get as many calls for being an A-1 jerk on the sidelines and had the ball bounce the wrong way too many times to be considered "lucky". Quote Link to comment

So in this situation are we pretending that BYU, Illinois, and Miami are the same as a Texas Tech (Ranked 7th) with Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, a Missouri team (ranked 4th) with Chase Daniel, and Virginia Tech who had Tyrod Taylor? I'm the furthest thing from a Bo supporter, I wanted him gone after the 2013 season, but let's use some context here. Quote Link to comment
