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.

Because you know.......

I liked his quote a lot. I didn't like yours.

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.

I have a hard time believing those are the only two options.

This also goes back to the fact that. Bo does in fact play a complicated scheme, there appear to be depth issues, and maybe some of Moglia's beliefs actually did and do help.

Which was my point a long time ago in this thread.

I was more making light of the B1G commercial last year.

I guess I don't remember that commercial being shown in press conferences. Good attempt to backpedal though.

Oh my God.

The picture was a joke.

Are we going to sit here and pretend that Bo Pelini never blows off questions or dismisses things by talking about "the technical things?"

I like Moglia's quote. That was where this started.

Actually, Bo tends to dismiss the questions that have an easy answer....

"What kind of question is that?!"

"You watched the game, what do you think?!!!"

Which means there isn't much to talk about, except the things he knows most people wouldn't understand. Pelini is a football junky, he would love to talk about this stuff if he knew people were wanting to listen.

I wrote a book in 2nd grade called Lions on the Loose. That was about 30 yrs ago.

So I must be a zookeeper by now, eh?

If you don't know what "working 80 hrs as a special assistant to Bo Pelini" entails, let me fill you in: he wasnt in meetings giving advice to Bo EVER. how do I know this? Because my dad use to work 80 hrs a week for Tom Osborne.

Further proof you have zero idea about who/what/how a program is run.

Unfounded speculation, for all we know Joe could of been Bo's confidant who he discussed issues with.

NU polo is insufferable.

If you think Moglia had ONE OUNCE of purpose to the success/failure of N football while he was here, well.....

I don't feel like getting banned.

His talents had no effect on Bo Pelini, a man who struggles from time to time with management skills, attention to detail, streamlining a working product, and is prone to micromanaging........

Ok, agree to disagree, good day.

I'm just really glad you're here to give us all this insight from within the program...myself, living on the East Coast...I don't have the ability to sit in the meetings with all the coaches and players like you do NUpolo....and thus I just don't have the perspective and insiders track like you do. I mean, you're able to observe all of this first hand and just wring the sponge of your knowledge-base upon us all. It's great that you're in those meeting rooms to see Bo's behavior and his management style and watch his lack of attention to detail unfold on the university and subsequently all the players.

I was just telling my wife the other day..... (someone tapping me on the shoulder...hold on....*whispers in ear*).....wait, what's that?....(*more whispering*)

NUPolo has no inside track or inside information about what is going on with the football team and is just as clueless as everyone here?

Where in the world did I make that claim? I'm offering up my opinion, just like everyone else here. Simmer back a little.

You stoke the fire with absolutely ridiculous claims like "the program has slipped since he left". And "I wouldn't mind giving him a chance a Pelini's job". And "he worked 80 hours a week, he knows something Bo doesn't".

Then tell US to simmer back?

Proof you are insufferable and dogg-ed in your approach.

Now for the rebuttals.

I'd love to hear how the program hasn't slipped, regressed, underachieved, muddled, pick your word since the 2010 season

Me saying I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Moglia at a school like Nebraska or even. Nebraska isn't a ridiculous claim. It's my opinion. I like Joe Moglia. I thought he was good for the program and I dig his ideas.

He absolutely knows things Bo doesn't. Conversely, it's probably possible Bo knows things Moglia doesn't. Symbiotic relationships are funny that way.

Regardless of your transitive property argument with your father and Osborne, I do not think it's a stretch Bo gleaned something from Moglia. At all. Learning from him doesn't necessarily mean Joe sat there and lectured him.

And, even without extended or immediate family involved, I think I know enough about how the athletic dept at. Nebraska might work to form these opinions. You obviously do not, but I'd appreciate it if you'd stop bringing my intelligence into the equation.

Even further proof of your being insufferable and stoking negative emotion; and also having zero idea of how the college game is played. Let alone how to run a program.

Yeah, guess what? Those are about the only two choices given the options presented, at this level.

And for you to make light of guys playing within the system v guys who have "more ability" is absolute proof that you really really really really have no idea what you're talking about.

And to think, in sum: that because Moglia wrote a "book on offensive system" 30 yrs ago, that because he worked 80 hrs a week as a "special assistant", and that players who play out of position are more worthy of time over the versa-----well...I'm not going to quit coming here. In fact I think I need to post MORE to expose your ignorance of college football and how to run a program.

Your thoughts and ideas, let alone the false sense you give that you actually KNOW what's going on inside North stadium is laughable, ignorant, and needs to be challenged.

Or, you could make a choice not to ruin every thread w negativity, bash our head coach, hate on the players, give non measurable opinions, and actually be kinda cool in stating a contrary opinion.

1. I never claimed to know what's going on inside north Stadium

2. Bo Pelini is not my head coach. Nor yours.

3. I don't bash on the players except for one, and it's not because of his play.

4. I think I'm pretty cool, Let's be friends!

5. It's rather interesting that Joe Moglia can't tell Bo anything or know about Nebraska football because he worked 80 hour weeks there, but you can because your father did.

Haha, gotcha man.

So by twisting and turning things into "transitive properties" and "conversely" seeing how people learn things from each other, other than that, how are you not negative and slightly ignorant when it comes to how Bo Pelini runs the program?

I mean, the Super Bowl champion head coach of the Seattle Seahawks is a Bo Pelini reference. But Moglia ran TD Ameritrade and worked 80 hrs a week for a couple yrs under Bo.

Oh, and "you like him and what he brought to this program". That's pretty cool.

 

[I am I]

"It's rather interesting that Joe Moglia can't tell Bo anything or know about Nebraska football because he worked 80 hour weeks there, but you can because your father did"

No. But I know what it means and what it looks like and what kind of job Moglia had cuz I saw it first hand.

You on the other hand, kinda sorta think that maybe Pelini gleaned so much info from the way Moglia worked there that he actually had an effect on whether the huskers have "slipped since 2010."

That's more laughable than me actually seeing what a low level 80 hr a week guy actually does.

And yes, you are very very negative. There is no denying that.

 

[TAKODA]

What the hells going on in here?

Never mind, I can read. Color me surprised.

Just my opinion Polo but Moglia however nice of a guy he is, has NOTHING on Bo (coaching), however he probably could show Bo a few things about finances!
