Bo Should go.

[PuegotDaddy]

WISE WORDS , for all you pissers and moaners and fair weather fans , who are you going to hire to take Bo's place ? MARK MANGINO ? MIKE LEACH ?

Are you willing to scrap our recruiting base again with another coaching change , because NO ONE is going to come play for NU if there isnt a coach here to play for.

The reason why we are where we are now is because of coaching changes. We cannot afford another coaching change or our football team will become what our basketball team has given us over the years. Buck up , support this coaching staff and our players ..

The issue of losing to bad teams is not the point, really. I will say this. Bo is bad with the media. He is bad as an ambassador of the program. He is bad at hiring assistant coaches. He is bad at roster management in terms of redshirts. He is bad at roster management in terms of substituting. All together too many productive players end up in a coaching doghouse and are not allowed to play.
But with all that... Bo's biggest problem is a complete inability to field a team that is motivated, intense, and focused on both sides of the ball all 4 quarters.

Bo is, at best, an average coach... and this is giving him more credit --- much more credit --- than he is due. I see him as quite a bit below average. NU NEVER should have hired an inexperienced HC. Some say it is reactionary... this whole notion of Bo being an unacceptable --- but not for me. He was unacceptable upon hire as far as I was concerned and he

has never shown anything to to change that perspective. Today was just another in a long, long array of data points that show forth that NU is headed nowhere until a change is made.

And who would you hire? There isn't a soul out there who would touch NU with a ten foot pole if Bo is axed. No one of merit anyway. If you think Urban, Chris Petersen, or anyone like that would come here I would suggest you sober up.

I concur with everyone who stated that this thread is nonsense.

GIve me a break. I thought it was good to see how hard the team tried to come back. Lots of good and bad.

Bo going will mark the formal end of anything NU that is to be 'elite'....forever.

Been a lurker long time, made an account, but don't post. This topic is making me:

This is absurd. No one would be the HC at Nebraska if we fire Bo. He can still do 10-3, or even 11-2 or 12-2! Calm down. Remember 5-7 twice within a 4 year period?

Any given saturday, any team can win, and it's the same in the SEC. You don't see call's for those HC's head when Ole Miss pulls out the fluke...

Calm down folks, it's our first year in a new conference playing new schemes week in and week out. Losing sucks, but we're not getting blown out by KU or Texas Tech.

You are high if you think that we will win out. 5-7 was because Frank left an very untalented team. That's why we had to hire a guy who didn't fit like BC in the first place. He was stupid to take the job with the expectations here and with what dumbass Peterson said at the press conference about not allowing the conference to just be OU and UT. That worked out well, didn't it SP. It was also why BC had to go to the juco ranks to get some talent on the team so we could try to be competitive.

When you change coaches it will obviously hurt recruiting, that was what was mainly behind 2007 and it's hurting Bo this year because this is the year this should be the 2007's SR year. But what was disappointing is that Bo didn't take recruiting seriously his first two years and then you throw that in with losing all of the 2007 kids, you get the product we have now.

IMO a new coach should get 6 years, but with Bo being such an bad guy, he has a shot leash and it may cause him to get fired sooner than that. If you hear about TO leaving in the next year or so, you know Bo is toast.

BS.

Clownahan took over a bowl winning 10 - 3 program and immediately ran it into the ground with losing seasons and record breaking losses. To lay that on Solich is simply stupid. If even 1% of that was true why did Clownahan have yet another monstrous losing season his "4th" year?

Bo has his downsides but losing seasons and monster blowout losses everywhere are not that. Yeah, even with today's horrible loss we're not anywhere close to 2007 bad.

 

[It'sNotAFakeID]

We have a good coach , the players have to win it ..

Clock management and timeout usage were both abysmal today.

Yeah, but that doesn't change the reality that we have a damn good coach. The best coaches do completely stupid things. This will be something to learn from. Criticisms are completely fair, but Bo is a fantastic coach.

Just please don't overreact, everyone. That's the ugliest thing that can happen.

Zoogies:

It is clear that you think Bo is a good coach. Fair enough. But why?

Is he good at getting his team to play consistently focused football? Does he consistently field intense, play a million-miles-an-hour teams with heart and passion? Has the mechanics of the QB's, the receivers, etc. improved a great deal? Is he good at hiring assistant coaches? Is he good at roster management? Is he good as an ambassador of the program or with the media?

I guess I am asking what is it that he is good at? I know he does have some positive attributes --- very good defensive X's and O's... but beyond that, what makes you say he is good?

The receiving corps has been much better this year even with the youth. They helped us fight back today. Just look at Kenny Bell. And Taylor has been playing miles ahead of where he was last year. He truly is evolving into the kind of QB we need right before our eyes. Dr. Beck is the one deciding that we're somehow good at the option when we're not. It should simply be scrapped.

Bo has no excuses. I'm not a big fan if firing up the fire mobile at the first sign of trouble, but this pattern is becoming tiresome. In year four we have less defensive talent than year one. Our line is laughable. The offense seems to be trending in the right direction, but how or why the defense has gotten to this point under him is baffling. The way things are going we'll be looking at another tumultuous offseason.

Please tell me you haven't forgot that football is a cyclical process. In year one, we had Dennard was our 2nd CB. In year one, we had a guy by the name of Ndamukong Suh. In year four, Ciante Evans/Andrew Green [a sophomore and freshman] is our 2nd CB. Stafford is in his first year of play. We don't get to keep talented players we once had. Sometimes players are just flat out better. I fully expect Ciante and Green to be coached up over their next couple of years and they will be a force to be reckoned with come a couple of years.

And I could count on one hand the amount of times holding has been called against opposing teams. And I guarantee you it is less than 5 at that.

 

[AFhusker]

This is how we got in this position in the first place. With people that called for Solich to be fired! Heck I can remember when Osborne was getting run out of town but luckily he wasn't. This will be a long road to get back to being dominant again. I think Pelini is a great Defensive mind but not necessarily a head coach, Yet. He will get there but it will be a while. I do feel your frustration and do not think you are a bad fan because you expect excellence. I also get miffed when the team I love plays like a bunch of girl scouts but they will get better.

Frank deserved to be fired. But he should have been given one more year to complete his failure. That 2004 team was pathetic. Then everyone would have been behind his firing and then hopefully we could have had a better organized coaching search to replace him.

 

[PuegotDaddy]

NO CHIT , WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BUFFALO LADIES AT WALMART , hey thats a great idea , perhaps the big gals at Walmart could help our D line ? Down set ....hut , hut .. BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL , KKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !

Yup, sh!t-canning a 7-2 coach is exactly what would get the top teir coaches knocking eachother over to get inside the door like morbidly obese ladies at Wal*Mart on Black Friday.

Can we please, just once, not go full retard after a loss?

too late.

 

[It'sNotAFakeID]

You remember the last time we canned a coach for putting together solid seasons. Yeah, let's do that again. What are we, 7-2. Yes, he deserves to be fired.

Just wow. :facepalm:

The ends don't justify the means. I can honestly say I'm pretty disappointed in Bo. Hasn't lived up to his own words yet.

Please, by all means, go ahead and tell me what Bo "promised" when he came here to coach.

If I have to explain it to you then you are not smart enough to understand it. Just stay with the rest of the lemmings.

 

[robsker]

I know some here think that the anti Bo thing is based upon one loss. But if you look at those who are posting that they are unimpressed with Bo's performance, you will see that they site trends that have been ongoing season after season. No, most here, as far as I can tell, who think Bo is not the guy do so based upon not so much wins and losses, but based upon poor ability to perform in many areas over time.

What I have not heard are those attributes that Bo possesses that incline some of you to think that he is doing a good job. What, precisely, is he doing well... so well as to compensate for that which he does poorly?

No we won't fire him. But that's not gonna keep him from leaving. It wouldn't hurt us that bad and a coach is available if we need him.

It doesn't have to be cyclical if the coaches take it serious enough. In which they didn't thier fist two years here.

 

[tschu]

I see the meltdown is progressing nicely.

Well done, HB

 

[Haspula]

Bo stays. However, we need to start reviewing some of our defensive coaches. Especially this Corey Raymond guy.

 

[Hercules]

It's amazing how predictable these message boards are. Any time we lose, there are at least a few people who have no more immediate reaction than "We have to fire the coach!"

I swear, we could go to the national championship game, lose by a field goal, and there will be message board posters saying, "See, he's never going to get us over the hump!"
