Do the 4 people that voted yes really know what they are answering?

This isn't a question of "are you okay with 5-7 as long as the coach gets fired?".

This is a "do you want the team to go 5-7 so the coach gets fired?".

If you are still answering yes to the second question, GTFO because you are not a Husker fan and you can't qualify a yes with any amount of logic.

I think it will happen that Bo goes 5-7 here shortly unless he decides to get outside help. This poll sucks as its design to so people will only answer one way. Half this board doesn't think Bo can get it done. So there would be no point in wanting Bo to succeed if you don't think he can get it done. See the problem isn't the boleavers it's the bolievers. if you disagree with them you are wrong.

It's fine if you think he will go 5-7. It's fine if you want him fired afterward. It's not fine, as a fan of a team, to hope your team loses so that there is a "good reason" to fire the coach. Whether you think Bo is the guy to get it done or not, you shouldn't wish that on your team. I would rather go 9-4 with Bo as the coach for the rest of my life than to see one losing season.

Damn StPaul you have the bar set kinda low. This is what exactly happens when stagnation occurs in a team. So what if a better coach comes along? Are we suppose to just stick with Bo and miss out on opportunities for someone better? It's easier to fire a coach with a losing season than one who doesn't have one. it's more justified.

Question: which 1 would you choose:

A) Bo goes 9-4 and we win nothing significant forever

B) Bo has a losing season get fired and we hire another coach who finally delivers a championship.

If you knew of one these options would turn out true no matter what, which one which answer do you choose? Now let's go a step further and say these are wishes?

Its all on how you setup the question.

What time frame are we talking about on the championship and what kind of championship? Natty? Conference? Does it take this new mythical coach 1 year to win? 10? 20? It doesn't honestly matter because it'd be great if we could guarantee a championship, but you can't. We replaced a 9 win coach before, and got 2 losing seasons for it and ended here in this 9 win purgatory you hate so much.

Can Bo get us there? I think he can if he can fix a few small things and the injury Gods don't smite us again.

We also had an impatient AD that fired a 9 win coach. I don't care about the 9 wins a season. The point to my question was you can frame a question anyhow you want it to get the results you want. Before last year with the injury bug we were still spinning our wheels. Sure you can say even a hurt Martinez would have done a much better job and gotten us to the conference championship. But would we have won it? Hard to say. At this point in Bo's HC stage he has to start winning conference championships.

We lost Martinez, most of our O-Line, half of our receiving corps, and then lost our second string QB for a few games. That we got to 9 wins last year is a miracle unto itself.

not really. weak schedule. now if we had the schedule we had the first two years when we entered the Big Ten then it would have been a miracle. Then that begs the question: how does Bo Pelini always get 9 wins a year? even with the starters or with mostly backups? It doesn't add up.

I want Nebraska to win. I want Coach Bo to have success. Anything else is just a very hard position to understand. I know some have an axe to grind against Bo. I understand he has had a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth lately, but that still doesn't mean I want to see the program disrupted and have uncertainty reign unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Yes, it must be a big conspiracy! Bo is actually working for the Big 12!

Point blank:

husker_99, do you hope the team goes 5-7 or worse this year so that they fire Bo?

Not asking what your personal prediction is.

Our schedule was harder than FSU's and about 10 spots behind Alabama's.
