Didn't Larry Coker take over a pretty talented team?
I may be thinking of some one else here.

Pelini has had 7 years to do something of substance here and has failed to produce. With such little to show for the investment in that long a period, Bo would lose his job in virtually any profession and in his current profession at any school with a football tradition comparable to our own. An objective, emotion-free analysis of Pelini and his record leaves no doubt that he has not met the expectations of his job here and shows little signs of being able to do so in the foreseeable future.
Your argument, and most of those in support of keeping Pelini, is largely based on nothing more than emotion. Whether that be the irrational fear of hiring Bill Callahan-in-disguise or a misguided feeling of personal loyalty to the coach, most of the pro-Bo arguments now rely on an appeal to some kind of emotional response instead of a factual analysis of his record. This is very telling, and it means that many people subconsciously know he's not doing the job, even if they can't admit it.
The worst of these emotional arguments, however, are the incessant comparisons of Pelini to Osbourne. These are based on emotion yet again, but with the added feature of refusing to compare the factual accomplishments of the men, and in effect, inadvertently tarnishing the reputation of Osbourne in the process. Many younger fans don't even remember Osbourne, so to hear him constantly compared to Pelini can only enhance the perception of the latter and diminish the perception of the former. I know that no fan intentionally tries to do this, but that is the effect.
I think Bo is a good man and I like that he has run a clean program that turns out young men better prepared for success in the world than most NCAA coaches. These are excellent attributes. However, Bo was hired to bring our football program back to prominence, and if he is still here in ten years, we are more likely to be what Minnesota has been for the last few generations than we are to be a powerhouse program.

They were facts five years ago. You are just making sh#t up now to defend a failed coaching staff. Nobody believes that they are still "rookies" but you. What would your excuse be in three years without winning anything of substance? Are they still "rookies" after a decade? Delusional is the only word that can acurtaly describe this way of thinking.

What does 1994 have to do with anything? I am the one that is irrational when you are calling these guys "rookies" after 7 freaking years? Ok buddy, step away from the bong.
