Petersen to Arky???

[AFhusker]

Oh dang...I hope this isn't true.

NU get on the phone!!! If he would go to Arky, then he surely would come here. Probably the best candidate if we wanted to shake things up here...which I would not mind.

If he dose go to Arky, that is another failure in the lap of Tom. Because if he would go to a sh#t hole like Arkansas, then he would have came here. But we don't know that because Tom never talked to him and already had his mind made up on Bo. Which i really bad business.

We can make this work people. Bo to Arky. Let Arky get their fanfare for a few days as NU ponders a coaching search and are "disappointed" Bo left. Then after a few days...Boom...Petersen to NU. Everyone wins.

This would be the best case scenario for NU.

The problem with getting Peterson here at this juncture is, no matter the circumstances or if Bo is the guy or not, we are looking at a 10-2 regular season here, and a potential 11-win finish. On top of three CCG appearances in four years. If that will get a coach fired, regardless of other performance-based circumstances, just what in the world are the metrics the next guy needs to pass to hold on to his job? Heavens forbid he have some turnover in talent and lose three times one year.

I'd argue with anyone that firing an eternal 9-win coach is OK. But Bo's record of success here simply has to keep him around.

It's becoming more and more an offense-dominated game, so expect to see more high scoring affairs - and more games where a team that gets the edge can run away with it. It doesn't take the most elite offense ever anymore to explode for a gazillion points.

If Bo gets fired after winning 9 games over the past few years and now 10/11........this program will not get anyone worth a damn to come here! Look what happened after we fired Solich.......we got Callahan. He was what, our 3rd choice? Bo doesn't need to go, some of his assistants do. He needs to surround himself with proven coaches that have experience so he can worry about being a head coach instead of having to do the defensive coordinators job as well. The university also needs to be willing to open up the checkbook and help make this happen.

I disagree. That is an old arguement for maintaining 'the average'. Good grief, NU footbal is worth more and deserves more than the average status quo. Things are different. NU has shown much more patience wt Bo then we did wt Frank. I think a rising star HC wouldn't think twice about NU wt our upgraded facilities, stadium growth, loyal fan base. Urban Meyer must have thought OSU and the Big 10 had potential. We have every bit the tradition as OSU. We now just need a coach or a coaching staff who can keep up wt Meyer - Bo won't unless he makes some dramatic changes. Past performance is a predictor of future performance if nothing new is added to the equation.

Sorry man....have fun finding someone who's quota is conference championships or natty championships every year OR you're fired. Even Urban Meyer commented on firing coaches after 9-win seasons....and he stated that he would never go to a program that does that. It's like coaching on pins and needles.

Exactly!

Winning at least one of those three CCG appearances, I suppose.

Does his 34-19 record against BCS competition these last 5 years buy him more time? Or his 8-11 record against top 25? Or losing to 8 unranked teams in 5 seasons??? Take away his cupcake of a schedule and Bo doesn't even look average. This team has massive holes just like our old friend Frank Solichs teams did

You wanna know what we expect? Not getting blown out. Thats what needs to happen. You think we're this upset over the loss? Hell no. But this, mulitple times, on the big stages, isn't acceptable. A 10-3 season isnt bad. A 10-3 season with three of the worst showings for our team stat wise and morale wise, is bad. Potential coach hires will be able to tell the difference between the two.

That loss to Wisky was as bad as any loss that Cally had.

I would say worse...we were starting to appear relevant to the college football world again. This game will have the same effect as the beat down Colorado put on us way back when

Watch the games people. Does anyone think this defense is capable of holding down the likes of any top 10 team, let alone a Wisky or a UCLA? If we didn't squeak out some of these wins this year would everyone care that he got to 10 wins? This is a bad defensive football team with a supposed defensive guru running the show.

Heck I would be happy with 1 every 5 years at this point
