I was a Bo supporter and did not expect him to be fired this year. I thought pressure would be put on him to make staff changes and next year would be his probation year. Now, that he is gone, I don't have any regrets. His blowouts were tough to take and his inability to beat top ten teams was a big mark against him.
I was shocked that he was fired before a possible bowl game. I wonder if Eichhorst has a coach in mind that can be hired before the bowl season? I also wonder if Pelini's firing will influence an bowl game offers?
I hope the new coach will continue to support the player academic program, maintain discipline without condoning criminal behavior, and be honest with recruiting rules.
