You're kidding, right? It's so much more fun to...No you dont. The best way to put rumors to bed is to not adress them at all, then they flame out. When you address rumors, you concede that there is at least something to them by feeling the need to address them. It's basic psychology actually. Eichorst has not addressed any of this because Bo isnt getting fired. Unless of course the wheels come completely off these last two games and we get blown out twice, but I seriously doubt that happens. Bo is going to be given the chance to build on the experience gained by all the young players this year, and I agree with the move. But I honestly dont know if he can take the next step.That's what really bothers me with this. Shawn when hired stated if we don't know his name then he has done his job. Well in times like this you have to say something to put the rumors to bed. Florida has done that with Muschamp, why can't we do that with Bo? Even if Shawn doesn't like the media attention. Then just put out a simple statement in the paper or Harvey get on tv and support Bo. We all know he loves the camera lol.I'm not really concerned if this is true right now. Eichorst needs to do his darn job and support his coach, just a "nothing to see here" even if Bo is gone.
Get the dogs off his back, I don't know why Shawn hasn't said anything. Rumors like this are just hurting the team, these guys have dealt with enough bull$#*! this year.

I hate to say it but if I seen that sign along a road, I would steal it...
It's 10 hrs until go time in Lincoln. What do you guys think.
After the Iowa game....
We find out Bo is safe
We find out Bo is out
We don't find out anything and speculation about his job goes through the bowl game and beyond.....
Just wondering what we are all thinking right now.

From the way Perlman talked I think Bo is probably done if we lose. If we win nothing would surprise me. Could very well be saved with a couple staffing-tweaks. Could well just raise the controversy-factor and need for a splash hire when he's let-go. I would think they end this drama and we hear something quick but I guess it's possible they make a noncommittal "Bo is our coach" statement then wait to see if he saves or hangs himself in the bowl. Could depend on what they have for other options and possibly what those options have for current commitments.

Like with this team anymore, I have no clue what to expect anymore, from the team's performance, to Bo's presser, to whether Bo stays or goes, to even the damn tunnel walk. I have no idea what to expect anymore.

Not to mention that the botched coaching search had more to do with Frank leaving very little talent, and potential coaches knew that winning 9 games was an aberration. Throw in SP's unrealistic expiations of "not allowing UT and OU to own the conference" and that is how you ended up with Bill. He was the only one arrogant, stupid, delusional (take your pick) to think that he could turn it around that fast. IMO SP would have been better off by allowing Frank to stay one more year, let him blow the bowl streak (as that was his team that did it in the first place) then we wouldn’t have had the division in the fan base and then could have had a valid and competent coaching search. He would also had to state to everyone to give the new coach a few years to get us back to where we want to be (like Tom did for Bo) so they wouldn't be forced to sign a ton of JUCO's to fill in for the lack of talent like Bill did. But SP was trying to keep the bowl streak alive so that is why he acted when he did and it did more damage than good. We didn't get the right fit and Frank had already done enough damage to the program to where the bowl streak was as good as broken no matter what was done.
That is the difference this time around, I think there is more talent now than there was when Frank was fired. So finding a coach shouldn’t be that hard, especially if we are willing to pay top dollar. Plus I believe that we are in good hands with our AD, better than we have been in a long time. So I trust him to do the right thing, unlike our previous AD’s.
IMO Bo’s biggest problem is that he hasn’t learned how to be a true CEO and mettles too much in area’s that he’s not an expert in, which is the offensive side of the ball. I find it hilarious that people ran Watson out of town and now want Beck ran out and all they are doing is following what their boss is telling them to do. Then he has a DC that is nothing more than a relay guy for what play he calls. If he doesn’t trust his assistants to do a good job, then why hire them in the first place? That is why I think the only way he stays is if he has a mass overhaul of his assistants and lets them do their job. Have your meetings, come up with a game plan on both sides of the ball and then get out of the way and allow your coordinators to do their job. But once again that comes down to Bo’s trust issues and for him to take that next step and become anything other than an average at best head coach, he needs to get over those trust issues.

Well then you can't call us boring.
I am with you, I want a decision made one way or the other so we can have one side b!^@h and moan for awhile and then we can move on.

Today's show of support plays in very well to this particular conspiracy.

I am getting ready to make a large batch of crow... Serving my self first. I still believe there needs to be a lot of changes down there. Starting with Coach's attitude towards his fans- us vs them stuff gets really old. The tweet threats from players is absolutely bizzaire as well. If he lands a top 15 recruiting class- then we made the right move in keeping him. However; through out his tenure- he tells us he has the players he wants etc.. that fit positions for him. Now, we had a team (starting) made up similar to our staff- very little experience. I hope it all comes together for us in the years to come.
I would rather not boast or toast another year of mediocrity.

LOL at wifi embarrassing himself over on rivals. He and his newfound buddy Sarasota were going on in the last two weeks about how it was a done deal Bo was gone. Bo served his head on a freaking plate Friday and still has a job.Today's show of support plays in very well to this particular conspiracy.
