For your short list knapp.
Meyer-no way. He freaked about firing Frank after a 9 win season, and look at Bo's win total so far.
Leach and Mangino- they both would be chastized by this conservative state after their pasts, and hence knowing these two names would come up I threw in the "nebraska way" because every genious on here wants to get back to the 90's . ANd these two guys wouldn't fit that "criteria"
I'd still take Bo over Leach or Mangino...
What I don't get is why some people can't manage to be disappointed in the head coach and in the season as a whole without wanting him fired. I'm disappointed in Bo right now, and this season has been a disappointment so far (even though we've still got a 3-1 record against MSU, PSU, OSU, and UM, which is pretty good), but I'm no where close to thinking he should be fired. The team took a big step backwards today, but firing Bo would be taking 10 big steps backwards.

what's UNBELIEVABLE is the fact that your are automatically counting the Iowa game as a victory!

Isn't this Bo's first head coaching position? So, like plenty of other coaches, isn't he going to go through some sort of learning curve that maturates his abilities to balance recruiting, delegation, overall program management, position coach management and so on?
Almost forgot...given the OP query...I don't see anyone on the college football landscape that we could pull in here right now. I know there are concerns, but appearances of instability resulting from turnover may be more damaging long-term than we can appreciate in the moment.

I didn't say he was wrong in suing them, but if you look at it from an empoyer's point of view with what happened at TTU with how he treated the players, then you can see why other schools would be hesitant to hire him.

I liken it to the Solich era. It wasn't the amount of losses, it was the blowout losses and losses to teams we shouldn't be losing to. I never mind losing a hard fought game, but if we are losing by 3 touchdowns or more watching an utterly pathetic meltdown, that frankly pisses me off. 9-3 aint so bad if we are at least competing in the games and not being absolutely embarressed.
The ratio is different for Bo and Tom.
I do not want Bo gone, but I want teams that are prepared, that live to play with the N on their helmets. I want kids recruited year around, and I want those top kids recruited to play, not just burned red shirts for two or three plays a year. I want a vision of what Nebraska football is and where it is headed, so we can recruit the type of players we need.
Comment was made we do not have the players to stop a mobile QB. Who is to blame for that. Our bend but not break is not working very well against top teams.
At least we do not have to worry about the BCS whipping that was on the door step. One horrendous a$$ beating on TV this late in the season is enough.
Hiring a head coach with no head coaching experience was the main mistake I think. I think Bo is learning and with more help from Tom, he may turn the corner.
But my only chant is that Bo and his staff are responsible for where we are at, no one else, not the players.

I don't think anyone is trying to "go back to the 1990's" but people want a team that competes for conference titles and that isn't happening right now. We are not in the crappy Big 12 north and winning the division isn't a given. I know I personally don't give a rat's a$$ about "the Nebraska way" because that way is dead. People need to realize that TO didn't have any assistants that are good enough to win at a school like NU and that era is over.

Bo is getting to play one extra game each year against a Div 1-AA school. It's not that hard to figure out. NU has one quality win this year in MSU. All of our other wins are against bad teams or a team that had thier heart ripped out the week before our game in PSU. And all three of our losses are embarrassing. Two blowouts on the road and a loss to a crappy team at home that had just lost 5 games in a row.

You also realize that TO's teams finised in the top 10 his first few years, right? In TO's first year we lost to missouri 12-13 and lost to oklahoma but TO also beat #10 UCLA, #14 NC STATE, #8 kansas, #17 colorado, #8 texas. In his second year we beat #13 kansas and #18 florida and finished in top 10. In his third year, we finished #6 with the wins coming at scores 10-7, 45-0, 56-14, 31-16, 16-0, 28-20, 63-21, 30-7, 12-0, 52-0. We got embarrassed by oklahoma but lost by 3 to #8 arizona state in the bowl game. Beat #13 oklahoma state and #9 texas tech in his fourth year but finished 13.

TO also never lost 4 games in a season. Something Bo Pelini has done every one of his years so far. Not saying Bo should go that is just a poor comparison. Bo gets more games than TO did.
