Am I the only one who thought this thread was going to be about this being Bo's last season at YSU after chasing down that kid who raped the girl and getting him to play football?
It's really not that hard. And it's not that Bo was bad coach. He just refused to mature and adjust as all good coaches do.....and of course he was crazy.Firing Bo wasn't necessarily a mistake.
Hiring Mike was.
No kidding. And here's a fun fact you won't read in any news article (the local sports media up here doesn't like to rock the boat):
After just losing to the USD Coyotes on Saturday in Vermillion, SD, he refused to go out and shake the opposing coach's hand on the field. An assistant coach went instead. I think he felt he got jobbed by the refs. Always was a classy guy. Will never change.
Were the refs the coaches brothers? I don't see what one thing has to do with the other. Whatever floats your boat Bo. Not our problem anymore.No kidding. And here's a fun fact you won't read in any news article (the local sports media up here doesn't like to rock the boat):

People seem to have forgotten that although Bo never won less then 9 games, his 4 losses each year came to teams with a pulse. We did a fantastic job beating up on Illinois, Rutgers, Indiana, etc. But when it came time to playing a team that was remotely decent we lost, if it was against a team that was good we got blown out.
... and here's a look a Callahan's final schedule results from the '07 season.

Man it was rough, paying for PPV games sucked and making sure you had the right TV packages with your provider sucked as well. A majority of us were very happy to leave the Big XII and this was one of those reasons. Having the B1G network is fantastic. The money coming into the program is a swell option as well.Wait, in 2007 you guys had games that were not on TV? You also had PPV games and a game on Versus? How on earth did some of you guys not want to join the B1G and have every game on TV?
a lot of people agree with you but for another reason- they despise him not for retiring but for hiring Solich and BoHow come everyone keeps talking about Bo? TO is the real problem behind where the program is at right now. If he didn't retire we wouldn't even know who Bo Pelini is. TO should have just coached until he died on the sideline and his body was taken to heaven by a beam of light by the football gods. Be mad at TO.
