Yes. Did Bo give you a tip?
He did. It went "Avoid hairy circle jerks with guys who do nothing but make the same tired points and high five eachother".Yes. Did Bo give you a tip?

AstrophysicsI feel like weve gotten off topic. What was this thread about?
This stuff again? Pelini has said depth on the DL was affected by redshirt decisions. You use the word "fact" twice about the "complicated" scheme. A few of Pelini's former players have talked about the defensive scheme and might not agree with your assessment of its complication. But what do they know?.......they just played in it.I have a hard time believing those are the only two options.So would you rather have Thad in there getting pushed back giving up a 4 yard run or a guy who doesnt know the system, plays completely the wrong technique and gets gashed for a 70 yard td run? Because at this level, a simple slip up like that leads to such.So no one liked Moglia's quote as much as I did I guess.
I also find it hilarious that a quote I find will somehow have more validity than the fact that Bo has a history of playing people like Thad Randle for example over guys who may have more ability because they know the complicated system better.

This also goes back to the fact that. Bo does in fact play a complicated scheme, there appear to be depth issues

1. It’s a lot. Flip through the pages and just look at all the various terms and sets. It wouldn’t seem quite as much like a foreign language to a high school football player, depending on what level he played at and what camps he attended, but it would definitely come faster and in greater volume than he’s used to. According to at least one source — no doubt gleaned from another coaching conference — Pelini will install his entire defense in one day. Based on my conversations with the staff, it’s not just one day but it’s not weeks either. There’s simply not time to spend weeks on it.
Once you really look at it, you see there’s a ton of effort put into simplifying this massive amount of information. Eventually, you’ve got to have it all in your head, but everything is based off the offensive alignment — more specifically, the number of backs and tight ends — which eliminates a lot of your options on a play-by-play basis. But you’ve still got to be ready for every set.
If you’ve ever asked why it’s hard for young players to see the field early, this offers numerous clues.
ahhh .... how 'bout me? Plus my contract saved 1/1000 of Bo's salary.So.......
We shoulda hired Moglia as coach instead of Bo Pelini.
