i almost wish pelini would go to a good SEC school to prove what a good coach we have right now and how much harder it is to coach in the middle of nowhere.
:facepalm:
do you care to elaborate?
Like I said in a previous thread, since Pelini has been here, all the way to the tOSU game, a lot of people wanted to push him out the door. There were and still are some people, but majority are worried he will leave now. You never know what you have till its gone. We learned this once before (Coach Solich), I was just unsure we would do this again. If Pelini goes, which I doubt he will, I wouldn't blame him. He is a DAMN good coach, and doesn't get the respect he deserves, even when we lose. People would rather demand a new coach.
The thing about Bo possible feeling underrespected is that I seriously doubt he interprets a few handfuls of negative comments/perceptions of him on message boards and/or radio call-in shows as the majority view of the entire fanbase. Whenever he is on the Sports Nightly call-in show, the majority to all calls involve the caller thanking him for job he is doing and showing their appreciation. Yes we have high expectations, but the majority of us "fans" also have perspective, which allows us to appreciate what he has done so far. Bo is also just as if not more competitive than any fan of this program ever will be. I think we can unanimously attest to that. He wants it all just as bad as we do, and his standards and expectations are just as high.
As much as I disagree with them, if we didnt have the negative fans and "Bo-haters" we would be content with status quo and might never improve. But I wouldn't say that it's causing Bo to feel underrespected, or underappreciated.
