Can Bo get it done

[Redux]

Did I get called a strawman via witty gif earlier? I think that cancels out the other strawan reference via wizard of oz rules.

What were we talking about?

 

[Saunders]

I bet Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Turner Gill, and thousands of players are glad that they worked very hard, dedicated their lives and succeeded in going above and beyond hurdles and tough odds so the University of Nebraska became synonymous with overachieving, success, championships and pride so we can point at how hard their jobs were and say "meh I guess this is good enough"

ironic strawman is ironic

You called Hunter74 a straw man. I'm reporting this personal attack

please do

YEAH WELL MAYBE I WILL.

(Becomes first person to ever use the report button)

shame on your sir!

Something else I find #ironic is that the Bo-leavers claim to worry about how Bo's antics negatively affect the image of the program, state, etc., yet they totally ignore how they, by pining for the firing of said #9/10 win coach, do more damage in the eyes of recruits, potential replacement coaches, and fans of other programs.

Examples of this?

It's fairly common knowledge. Do a quick Google search and you should find whatever you need. Plus I'm not able, or don't know how to link it from my phone.

Yeah, 74's idea of entitled sounds pretty great, actually. Count me in.

i remember watching PTI long ago, like between 2000-2004 and they were talking about something, i really do not remember. but wilbon listed off a bunch of teams that had won national championships. nebraska was one of the teams he mentioned. he went on to say that it was those teams' birthrights to win championships. i was proud that not only were we mentioned with such great teams, but that we had such an awesome birthright.

i guess i should now be ashamed of that.

As usual, I'm hopping the Dude's bandwagon with his sig.

Current recruits for Nebraska haven't played a down for NU and sometimes might never play a down for NU. I don't really care about how Bo's antics affect them, or how a coach getting fired affects them. You should commit to a University, not to a coach. Ask any student-athlete that and most would say that.

I would prefer that the football coach at Nebraska not act like a complete horse's a$$ on the day after Thanksgiving on national tv because:

a) It looks bad

b) the call that caused it wasn't all that egregious

c) it clearly affects the current players and how they play

d) hes supposed to be coaching and evaluating, pretty hard to do that when you're screaming like a madman at an offical who isn't going to reverse the call no matter what you do

e) whether he likes it or not, Bo is a representative of the University, the state and its alumni. Perhaps even one of the most prominent ones. In other words, his job is bigger than him, he is not bigger than Nebraska football. He's taking the reputations of many great people with him when he wears the N and goes on TV. And I'd appreciate it if he'd at least pay that fact at least a small amount of respect instead of acting like the whole goddamn world is out to get him.

I'd dull my edge if I thought he could at least comprehend letter "e", but so far he doesn't seem to have a f#*k to give about that fact. And it's really insulting.

I may not agree 100% with everything you said, but I'm not going to dispute anything either, with the exception of point b. I was there in the north end zone, that pass was uncatchable, that penalty was BS. I support Bo for his vehement disapproval of that call.

I can't believe this f*ckin' thread has made it six pages...

Oh wait, it's the offseason...

And we still haven't figured out if Bo can get it done or not!

i think in no more than three pages we will have a definitive answer.

Go to pretty much any other teams message board and ask about firing a 9/10 win coach and the entitlement mentality.

Go back and see what Urb said about our,job the last time we fired a 9/10 win coach. Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.

Be careful what you wish for. If you think that we are irrelevant now, go ahead and fire Bo after another 9 win season, we'll be Minnesota 2.0.

I'm gonna go ahead and guarantee that if Bo gets fired next year, the athletic department will not ask the message board community to organize the independent committee to find a coach. So you can relax.

Nebraska has money, prestige, facilities, and opportunity. There would be no problem with the right staff finding the right guy. It sounds to me like you have no trust in Eichorst. Which I guess doesn't surprise me, the history of Nebraska folk hating any AD not named Osborne or Devaney (emeritus) is long and rich.

if we are satisfied with 9 wins and bowl victories, i am pretty sure we already are.

as far as what urb said, what coach would not say that? he has to be accountable for his words (and he probably does not mind playing against pelini, for that matter). he would probably say a 6 win coach should not be fired.

also, you can learn from history, too. you do not have to just repeat it.

so the over/under of figuring out if Bo can "get it done" is a 3.5 pages from here...

let me guess, you will take the over.

I would have been happy with 1 page as long as everyone voted.

Remind me again how many 9/10 win seasons and how many CCGs Minnesota has played for in the past 6 years. Thanks in advance
