Osborne's most successful coaching period also came after decades of experience. The thing about Pelini that I like is it seems (from afar, anyway) that he is willing to reexamine his coaching practices and the way they do things in the program. That's encouraging. To me that's why experience really matters when you get down to it. You have to learn from your mistakes. The more adept you are at finding mistakes and the quicker you are at correcting them, the better off you'll be. See the Callhan/Cosgrove relationship as a counter example.
I mostly agree. That argument would be even stronger if a few years back a certain OL coach was encouraged to pursue other opportunities.
Hard to argue with you there, but he did also bring in Garrison. Bo strikes me as a pretty rational guy (or at a more basic level, a strategic thinker, hence his defensive genius). There must be something he sees in Barney that he likes. I don't know what it is, but then I'm not working with the guy every day. We only see the results, not the causes.
Bo's loyal. It's one of his most admirable character traits. It's a trait that might pay off huge if JPap and Beck are the coordinators he thinks they are. They'll be more likely to stick around longer; he is, after all, the one that gave them their shot. The question is how long will he tolerate mediocrity for loyalty? Hard to say. We also know Bo doesn't like to lose.
