Or more accurately, people make suggestions such as Chris Petersen and those suggestions are met with "he would never leave Boise State !" or some other speculative, invented excuse.Hyperbole much?This is always a fun conversation.
Person 1: Give me a list of names!
Person 2: *gives list of names*
Person 1:
Usually person 1 asks for a reasonable list of candidates that would actually come here. Then person 2 starts listing Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, and a bunch of other guys that have no connection to and no interest in coming here. And the statement is made that if "you pay them enough you can get them," the texa$$ and U$C coaching searches be damned and ignored, because, well, we're Nebraska, and I'm a Nebraska fan, so because I want something it must be so.
The entire exercise is a red herring, really. It's not like a ton of people had Tim Miles on their wishlist before Sadler was canned - and that seems to be working out okay.

Well it's pretty unknowable who would come here without a search. At least for us.Or more accurately, people make suggestions such as Chris Petersen and those suggestions are met with "he would never leave Boise State !" or some other speculative, invented excuse.Hyperbole much?This is always a fun conversation.

You missed the point. We're not playing with many 5th year seniors on this defense. Most of them are in their first our second years playing division 1 football. They're generally not going to be as good as they will in a couple of years, and of we're playing against a team stacked with 4th and 5th year players, they'll likely have an advantage.
A search firm was used in 2007......though the time the most aggressive search was performed by the AD himself was probably 2003......and that didn't work out so well.Well it's pretty unknowable who would come here without a search.

Yeah, of it helps the program, I'm all for it. You seem to think that it's so easy.
I'd like you address the misstatement that we have the talent so it must be the coaches who are causing us to only win 9 or 10 games a year, hence the statement about the NFL draft.

And the statement wasn't that Peterson wouldn't leave, it's that he'd only leave for the right place, hence he turned down USC but took the UW job, which had a lot to do with comfortability and the fact that he had recruiting relationships in Pacific NW.

You have a very different definition of "search firm" if you think 07 represented a thorough search.A search firm was used in 2007......though the time the most aggressive search was performed by the AD himself was probably 2003......and that didn't work out so well.Well it's pretty unknowable who would come here without a search.

I do not think 2007 represented a thorough search by any stretch of the imagination (thus what I said in the rest of that post about when the most aggressive search was done by the AD). I think the search firm (the one in Atlanta if memory serves correctly) was used to gauge interest, but Pelini was the #1 candidate all along.You have a very different definition of "search firm" if you think 07 represented a thorough search.A search firm was used in 2007......though the time the most aggressive search was performed by the AD himself was probably 2003......and that didn't work out so well.Well it's pretty unknowable who would come here without a search.

anyone who declares their distaste for ribs because they are "too messy" should get a one week ban.

I'll make you a deal, when all of the Bo Leavers quit derailing every thread by beating their tired, worn out, dilapidated, tattered dead horse I'll quit beating this one.
Sound good?
Besides, we don't have until next year to wait, we HAVE to win a CCG and make the playoffs, don't ya know?
