Agree....I am so sick of the entire Pelini crap. And, it also boils all the way down to even fans still throwing out the "Boleaver and Boleiver" crap in arguments.
The angst surrounding Bo from the media had less to do with the losses themselves, but more about the way they lost, the tone of the losses and the attitude from Bo following the losses. Bo fostered the us-against-the-world mentality and it always seemed like things were just so hard for him... nothing was easy, woe is me, etc.
I agree with this. I dont like bein the guy that acts like Bo didnt do anything right. It wasnt that bad. But in contrast, the way he left, and the way he left the team, it's really hard to recognize any of the good. And that's on him. He put us in that situation. He's the one that refused to understand the nature of being a coach at a bigtime program. Not us.
And we should only remember Callahan for is North title and the Michigan bowl win. But not his causing us to miss a bowl game in 2 of his 4 seasons or 70-10 or "f'n hillbillies" or "crusty old f".
Comes as no surprise, to me anyway, that Pelini & Co., were allegedly loosey goosey around the edges as to team logistics. I have also contended that the BOPster probably wasn't--at the end of the day--the best communicator in the world. All this adding up to the relatively sloppy, undisciplined 'product' they frequently put on the field. For ~3mil per, yeah, I think you'd at least want to show up on time to things.
The highly controversial former HC sold and continues to sell them(OWH) muchos newspapers, so you ride that pony 'til he won't ride no more. That's about the long and short of it: controversy sells. Too bad, for them, there wasn't ever a sex scandal involved--cha ching $!
