That's not something that can happen immediately. It's a process and the forum administrators will have to execute at a high level for it to be accomplished. But they're a heckuva good group and I believe in them.

What! Are you f*cking kidding me. I feel like I am in the Bible belt of America, gee, he cussed in front of 18 years old men. I think that these tape are sure convenient to leak to the press IMO. He was venting to the team. I am not offended by what Bo says.

I don't think anyone is truly defending Bo. I just think that what people are saying is that some people deal with things differently.
I agree with your assessment of how he should have spent his last few words with his players. But I also know that those players probably genuinely appreciated seeing Bo be himself and for truly speaking from his heart and being as raw as possible with them. Sometimes it is more meaningful to hear stuff like that from someone you care about than bullsh#t. Bo was just speaking his mind. Those players know that about him already.
Again, I am not defending Bo. I am far from disappointed in his departure. In fact, this whole thing just showed me how much more appreciative I am of having a very low ego guy like Mike Riley to lead us and our players. I am sure that if there is ever a hot mic on him he'd probably be talking about how dreadful the weather can be on his bike ride to work in the winter, but he still really loves snow.
At the end of the day, it is a relief that we no longer have this toxicity around anymore.

Oregon State had a run of 28 consecutive losing seasons. The 5 wins in 1998 was the best performance since 1971. So yes, the down Pac 10 did help Riley get OSU turned around, but this was a reclamation project on par with KSU prior to Snyder's arrival in Manhattan.

Anyone who refers to people as c***s is a loser in my book. I don't care who he/she is talking to.

No worries. He has 8 million dollars coming. I'd personally take a sabbatical and go fishing.
All jokes aside, I'm so happy he is gone. Obvious issues beneath the surface besides the blowouts we endured against good teams. Riley will at the very least change the mind set of "us and against the world" mentality. I think we will improve overall regarding wins losses in two years or less.

Exactly, that jacka$$ wasn't qualified to be the HC and NU. The only other guy Tom interviewed was Grobe and he was told that he had to use Tom's old assistants and couldn't bring his own. So that is why Grobe turned down the job.
Then you throw in how he was an a-hole to a lot of people in all walks of life and finally how incompetent he was as a HC and IDK why anyone would stand up for this a$$ clown. He was lucky the Tom was terrible at picking HC's as both were unqualified and the results showed in games against good competition. Not to mention he endorsed Peterson and as great of a HC as he was, Tom was as equally as bad of an AD in that perspective. It has been obvious for several years that Bo needed to be fired, but there were too many delusional fans and Tom was too worried about his legacy to do what was right for the school. Which is why it is a good thing that Tom isn't making decisions anymore.

Yeah, I guess turning around a bad team, no cheating, graduating players, having players love him doesn't deserve a simple thanks or good luck. Or at least not a ripping.

Im not pretending he didnt do a lot of harm with this most recent act. It sucks to read about, it sincerely does. Im sure a lot of us know people who know him personally, mine happen to be family that were a part of his foundation.
He has A LOT of room to grow and A LOT to learn as a coach. Its a shame he couldnt cut his teeth elsewhere before his stint here, his tenure probably goes a lot better if this wasnt his first HC gig. But thems the brakes and he is gone now.
He is gone now.

From here.
Let the healing begin, but first washout the wound he dumped salt in on his way out the door. As I said very unclassy thing to do and it is pretty disappointing.

Would like some more straws? It's embarrassing the way you're grabbing for them.
