Assistant Coach
Any displeasure Bo's gotten from the administration, he's fully earned. But incredibly, he not only has been retained, he's got a clean slate, more resources than he's ever had before, and a vote of confidence in the form of a very public and unified front.
Nobody has totally unlimited resources, though everyone would like to. The disadvantages Nebraska has are well known. For example, NU's pulling in the neighborhood of $6 million in contributions to the athletic department, while schools with larger booster bases are in the $20- and $30-millions. In spite of this NU was 6th in the country in men's athletics recruiting spending in 2011-2012. (and Hunter, you're right. We have to spend more just to keep pace.)
It's incredible NU's efforts to expand its recruiting support system turns into skewering the administration for Bo's sake. I really hope Bo himself is not doing any of this finger-pointing or self-pity. To be in charge of a program, you simply have to always believe in what you can accomplish there. A coach who can't have that mentality for any reason, it doesn't make him a bad guy... just one that needs to turn in his
