This was sent to me in an email. I have no idea who wrote it, but thought it was too funny and too tru not to share.....
Bo is not running a program with 31 players arrested 25 times in less than 4 years, many for violent crimes & felonies. That would be Urban Meyer at Florida. (Urban's now employed by ESPN as an expert on running college football programs.) Urban is a big name coach, and his name will be linked to any top-tier program looking for a coach.
Bo is not running a program under NCAA investigation for the 2nd time in 6 years, nor is he accused of personally lying to the NCAA and covering up infractions. That would be Jim Tressel at Ohio State. Big name coach.
Bo is not running a program currently under the black eye of a 2-year bowl ban and major scholarship limitations. That would be USC. Big name program.
Bo Pelini has not lost 8 of his last 13 games. That's Mack Brown. Big name coach.
Bo is not running a program just coming off its 7th probation, this one requiring it to vacate an entire season's victories. That would be Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. Big name coach.
Bo is not running a program with 7 infractions of record, and just linked to a QB-for-hire scandal that will likely result in infractions, a program where 3 coaches (Jordan, Dye, Bowden) in charge for 40 of the last 55 years later admitting to paying players. National champs.
Bo is not running a program with more probations (1) than BCS bowl wins (0)since Tom Osborne retired, 5 coaches in 10 years, and where the head coach's negligence just killed a student. That's Notre Dame. Big name program.
Bo Pelini is not running a program that has lost 20 of its last 26 conference games. That's Michigan. Big name program.
Bo Pelini is not running a program that is just 26-22 in conference in the last six seasons, and has been stung by drug issues, suspensions, a workout abuse incident that hospitalized 13 kids, and pays its coach more than $3M a year for this. That's Kirk Ferentz and Iowa.
Bo Pelini is not running a program that, in the past 20 years, has had multiple probations, postseason bans, scholarship reductions, has been caught payingmultiple kids ($150,000 for one DL to sign), linked to shady loans, and found guilty of lack of institutional control. That's Alabama. Big name program.
Bo just wins 10 games a year while running a clean little program that gets no headlines for arrests or investigations, that recruits churchgoers instead of rule-breakers, that kicks off players who don't toe the line, that graduates its players, that has won 16 of its last 21. No way should Bo be considered a "big name" coach just yet, on the top tier with the other coaches mentioned above.
