Solich Bonus

[Goal-line]

Whatever Frank Solich gets, he deserves. The University of Nebraska treated him like a pile of cow dung after he devoted his life to the NU football program. I will never forgive the NU administration for doing that. Harvey Perlman should have been fired right along with Steve Pederson.

Bo's "sideline behavior" is an issue only because he doesn't have any rings. There's a half a dozen coaches who are worse that don't get near the bad pub, because of rings.

Whatever he gets? Whatever?? I dunno about that. Did he deserve the DUI for driving the wrong way on a one-way street while high on roofies? Meh, maybe he deserved it. Maybe not. I always figured some smartass Ohio kid spiked his drink. But who really knows?

And almost every coach in the NFL but 3 or 4 as well.

Nine wins is going to be the acceptable standard. None of us have any control over this.

Bo will stay so long as he doesn't do anything awful away from football and so long as his teams have eight or nine wins per year.

If he goes 7-5 or worse, there could be trouble. 6-6 likely gone. 5-7 and it's don't even ask.

I believe that the new AD will use the same standard as the old AD and if you remember, that's the deal that TO shot to Bill Callahan in the middle of the 2007 campaign.

Sweet Jesus, this guy is gonna get Pelini fired with his kiss of death.

It considers what you think Nebraska is? Are we a top program that should be competing with other top programs? He gets paid millions of dollars every year. He has to eventually start performing. I would say Bo needs to have 1 of 3 things done soon. 1.top 10 finish. 2. conference championship win. 3. bcs bowl appearance.

Pretty hard to do any one of those without the other two so it's all basically the same thing. Even though we were far from dominant last year, a CCG win would have put us right at the Top 10 going into the Rose Bowl

i dont think it is they feel that goal is too lofty, they just understand the asininity of firing a coach that is producing 9-10 wins a year. you'd think that after seeing what nebraska got after firing their last coach who won 9 games in season, people would be more hesitant about clamoring for a new coach.

yes, but the concept of 9 wins is slightly dated - and the way in which the 4 losses that accompany those wins is what is going against Pelini. 25 or so teams had 10 or more wins, another 10 or so with 9. Even Vanderbilt in the SEC can find 9 wins, or a rebuilding UCLA team. Is that the standard? A top 35ish or so team? Because 9 wins will barely get you into the top 25 now. 25 years ago 9 wins was almost a guaranteed top 10 finish.

What timeframe are you using? Last year there were 18 BCS schools with 10+ wins and five with 9.

Solich still has to coach those teams he just wasn't handed his achievements. Just like Bo had to coach. both were first time head coaches. The year before Callahan's last we made the conference championship game so you can't blame 1 bad year on the program in a horrible state and no doubt would've happened if Callahan had stayed.

ONE bad year? You do know that Callahan's best year was worse than Bo's worst, right?

 

[Mavric]

The difference between Bo and Solich is that there was a noticeable downward trend with Solich's teams. Bo's are staying even keel, with the possibility of going up or down.

i don't see going from 7 losses, to 3 as a downward trend. I see 2002 as an anomaly. (honestly, had he been fired after 2002 no one would have complained). But, we fired a coach that had played for a MNC a few years prior, won conference championships, won a ton more games, and most importantly just fixed his one bad season by putting together one of the better defensive units we'd had in a while. Completely different scenario IMO than firing a coach that hasn't achieved much outside of winning most of the games he's supposed to win, and losing a few more in the same category.

Maybe. We only beat one team with a winning record (So. Miss) and the thee losses were by 17, 24 and 29 points to less than highly rated opponents. Not exactly anything to write home about.

So? In the end Bo still hasn't won anything and neither did Callahan.

So you're admitting your argument had no basis?

My argument had basis i just don't get all caught up on 9 win seasons especially when we get our butts kicked for lack of coaching.

So do you stand by your claim that Callahan had one bad year or not?

Calling it a standard makes me queasy. Let's call it the bare minimum.
