Bo's Future - - I'm Happy with Him Staying

When one players has a bad day, its the players issue. When the entire offense was playing like sh#t (not Ameer), its on the coaches. Lastly, Bo hasn't saved us from anything. We are consistently out of the top 25 in both ranking and recruiting, we get blown out when playing anyone worth mentioning, we haven't won a championship in 6 years, failed to make it to any BCS games - he has cruised the ship into mediocrity. Other than winning our Division once in the last 3 years, we are no better than Tennessee.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Do you not know what the word consistently means?

 
Bo will not be fired this year, but he has to win 11 games next year if I'm going to be alright with him staying from then on. There has to be progress at least for one or two years.

I'm not against occasionally having 1 or even two seasons in a row where we lose 4 games. Those things will happen. But six years in a row? Now I'll give him the excuse of being new for the first few years. But at some point, we need to progress.

 
After the Minnesota debacle, I was all for running Bo out of town. However, the last 3 weeks have shown me that I just emotionally overreacted. Bo was not responsible for those 5 turnovers yesterday. We could have beaten Bama if they would have given us 5 turnovers. The reality is that those 5 turnovers were simply the result of an overzealous, rookie QB. However, today's miscues will be tomorrow's gain.

When I stop and look at our program, we are not that far away. We keep winning 9 games a year. Yes, I want more, but we are on the right track. I am most pleased that Bo has made major changes in the last three weeks. Moreover, this year has been better. With Garrison as OL coach, we have gotten substantially better. We have tons of talent in the wings. We are almost there.

Things could be worse: We could be Tennessee, Colorado, Washington, Syracuse, or any other team that used to have a pulse but don't have anything close to it. Bo has saved us from that. Truth be told, I'd give Bo three more years to make us a top ten team. I think he can do it. There are so many reasons to be optimistic for the future. Le'ts win the next two games, and then hopefully we'll play Texas in whatever that Arizona bowl is called. If we ended the year with beating Texas, this will have been a good year.
Almost where? I will give Pelini he is consistent, pretty much the same record every year, and pretty much the same problems every year. If you are happy to become Iowa, by all means lets just keep doing the same thing over and over again. What I see is a single win vs a team with a winning record so far this year, and it was a close game. And with the remaining games, it may stay that way. Beat Penn State, they are likely to end 6-6. Iowa is 6-4 with us and Mich left. Could be either 6-6 if we win, or it could be another loss. Color me unimpressed.

Colorado, Syracuse and Washington certainly have no bearing in comparison. None of those programs put an emphasis on football, certainly not like we do. CU didn't even have an indoor practice facility. Syracuse is a basketball school. And none of them can compare with with resources we have and give the football program. Tenn might be a closer comparison, but their problems stemmed from hiring a fool for a coach.

You want to give a guy another 3 years who has done nothing. Already at 14 years without a title, so what would 17 be?
