HuskerBoard vs. husker_99

I mean is it worth it? One conference title and a coach that ditches us for something "better"? Obviously there is no guarantee that happens. Just as there is no guarantee Bo can't do just that this year.

Honestly, is a 5-7 year just to get Bo fired worth it? You can't tell me that wouldn't set us back again no matter who they brought in to replace him.

The fact you would actually celebrate a losing season in the anticipation of Bo being fired makes you an anti fan. Im not saying Im a better fan, Im saying your not a fan. You said you dont hate Bo, okay, maybe not personally. But to bask in the idea of him getting fired means you must hate him being coach.

No. He needs to produce some sort of championship or atleast finish in the Top 10 pretty regularly. no reason why he can't. Bo is simply not producing what he needs to. Meanwhile half this board is too scared of the idea of getting a better coach or atleast get someone who won't hire his friends that have no experience. This program deserves more than people learning on the job.

We havent hired a coach that wasnt learning on the job as a college head coach since Devaney. Think before you speak.

TO was hardly learning on the job. Yes it was TO's first HC job but he had been with the team for some time and running the offense. A little different than Bo.

Okay, say you get what you want. We fire Bo. We hire some big name hot shot coach. He produces a conference title in 2 years. Husker Nation rejoices. That coach abruptly takes an NFL opening citing that it's his dream job.

Nebraska is NOT a revolving door school. I don't want a new coach every few years because one was a big winner and leaves quickly or gets fired for being a dumpster fire.

Bo has grown into his role and being that it was his first job at the position he's done a bang up job and my hat goes off to him. He took over a sh**ty situation and turned it into something we could be proud of. Then the conference switch came. If you don't think that affects a staff's methods or processes your crazy. We've been in the Big Ten for 3 years now. We have the right personnel in place for a big year so lets see what comes of it.

You however aren't willing to see what develops coming hot off the heels of a rebuilding year where we won 9 games and beat an SEC team in the f'ing bow game. This could be the year all the doubters expected in 2010. Sorry it may have taken so long.

Who's to say that if Bo succeeds he won't leave? With rumors that he has been looking elsewhere almost every season don't act like Bo is 100% going to stay if we start doing well. We all want a coach to stay but to do what TO did in this day and age is high unlikely.

Shouldnt that give Bo a little more leeway since he had to learn EVERYTHING on the fly.

Different time. TO and Bo are not comparable.

I've actually expressed concern that Bo would leave once he became successful on the level that his detractors demand. I get the feeling more lately that he is happy where he is and does want to be here. I didn't think that a few months ago. He seems to be content here. Besides I doubt half of the rumors hold any merit, he's just a name that gets thrown around due to the animosity of last season's drama.

Problem is he should have been learning while he was a DC if he wanted to become a HC. He shouldn't have been mostly clueless. Bo isn't going to get 10 years. It's all about results.

well he has also been looking into other jobs. You only stay at your current job if you are getting turned down from other places.

If he was being pursued by other schools like Miami and Arkansas why didn't he take them? Why would they pursue him and then turn him down?

How can you be a DC and learn to be a Head Coach at the same time. Your focus should be the job at hand. Once he knew he would be a head coach the focus can switch. He wasn't mostly clueless. He's been more successful than you care to give him credit for. The results you say he's lacked have resulted in him being retained as a 7th year coach.

He should've been paying attention what the HC was doing when he was DC. But he clearly didn't. It's like any other job. You want a promotion you need to know about the job you are applying for. He hasn't been that successful.

Clearly you and Mr. Eichorst have different levels of success that your employees should achieve. How many wins does your coach require to be retained?

It's now how many wins. It's what you achieved. If a coach has a couple of 7-5 seasons but mixed in with those are conference championships and/or bcs bowl games those 7-5 seasons don't matter.

Seriously! You really wouldn't be the first to throw rocks if a coach went 7-5? OKEY DOKEY
