What's the concensus on Bo in huskerville?

I don't necessarily think last weekend's implosion falls on Bo. Rather, I think this team still has a few mental hangovers. We were prepared to play. We hung with them for a quarter to quarter and a half. It was just like after something went wrong they started sinking in quicksand. We had some pretty good swagger going early in the season last year. The Texas loss really seemed to deflate the bubble. I really don't know what the coaches need to do to get this team to face adversity head on. The biggest thing missing on this team is leadership. We really don't have anyone on the field busting nuts when players screw up. When Suh graduated, we basically lost our lone leader. I was hoping Burkhead and Crick would grow into the role, but thus far neither really have.

You say stark raving lunatic, I say intense. An Iowa fan thinks Bo is over the top, I could care less what any non-NU fan thinks of Bo Pelini.

Exactly!! I hear this all the time from Squawk fan. My answer is always the same. I usually just say "If my team's coach was an emotionless gum chewing statue on the sideline I probably wouldn't like Bo either."

I have all the confidence in the world in Bo. I think the majority of Husker fans feel the same.

 
I love Bo as our coach. Passionate,intense and understanding of tradition. He's a great football mind working with some average and above average talent...not his fault.

I sure do. I can remember him w/ fire, too :) In the heat of the battle I can remember him being VERY intense on the sideline. Not like Bo, but heck, who is?

Obviously we are a little biased but its rare that any Iowa fans think Bo as anything other than a stark raving lunatic. Clearly dude's emotional and I get that, but whats the sense around there? Any concern that he's over the top, or that players don't enjoy playing for him? From an outsider it kinda looked like some players have sort of tuned him out.

Personally I think that unlike the NFL college athletes have to enjoy playing for.someone to excel. They don't necessarily have to like the HC all the time but they have to enjoy the experience.

I absolutely love the man as our coach and have all the faith in the world in him. I think he'll get us back on top eventually at Nebraska.

Still..... ....on any other team where the both the offense and the defense aren't performing up to expectations, where penalties and turnovers are a problem, where the team plays skittish in big games and where talented athletes are simply not executing well.... ....you look at the head coach. Taylor Martinez did not lose that game for Nebraska. He's just this year's Shawn Watson. Who was last year's Bill Callahan. And Nebraska fans don't want to admit there might be a top down problem with the guy in charge of motivating every player, supervising every assistant coach and deciding who plays. We're too vested in Bo Pelini not being Bill Callahan so we'll try to blame everyone but the man in charge. Blaming the media for making Bo less of the coach he needs to be? That's a new one on me. And quite a stretch.

Well then maybe we need to start running our program like Miami, Ohio St, and USC. Win some titles, get some conference championships. That way in a few years when it gets discovered that we cheated and were crooked in how we did things the ncaa will flush all that success down the toilet, right after our program.

Look here folks, A lot of fans (not all, not some, and not a few A LOT) are flat out spoiled brats on here just wanting to win. They are so hungry for the 90's again that they are blind to the fact of how clean our program is. Face it people, the 90's are frickin gone. 60 wins in 5 years and 3 NC's in 4. That crap is NEVER happening again. College football is different and that's the way it is. Bo does everything the "right" way. For god's sake, this past summer we admitted to an ncaa infraction that was giving too many books to our players, Really? Bo is one heck of a coach. We are lucky to have him. What he did in less than a year to reinvent the attitude in his first year here was incredible. And I'll tell you what, if people dont get off his a$$, he'll be gone, cuz O-State will certainly be looking for a coach in the near future, and if we lose Bo and have to go thru another coaching change after a few years, we're D U N. In other words, if Bo consistently win 9-11 games a year and competes for or is in the mix for conference championships year after year, then that better be good enough, even if we cant get over the hump and get in the dominant national picture like teams like LSU and Bama. People who question Bo's leadership because of this one debacle are stupid. And I mean Barack Obama stupid.

When the BTN showed a bunch of Husker related programming recently, I remember seeing him pretty fired up toward the defense in the Orange Bowl against Tennessee. Yelling, even.

And also, I love Bo.
