The Tangent Thread

[Hoosker]

After reading this thread, I think we should just rename it "NuPolo8 doesn't get to have an opinion thread."

 

[Count 'Bility]

Uh, no.

I'm going to nip this rom-com "Bo Pelini is on a journey" before it starts.

It was all laid out for him. He only has himself to thank/blame for all his achievements/accomplishments.

Of the coaches since Devaney, Pelini probably had the least laid out for him based on being the only coach to have losing seasons precede his tenure.

Excuse me?

We've been through this before, but my god man, there are current nfl all pro members that were on that 07 team.

Yes. Because of Bo. They sure the hell wouldntve after another 2-3 years under Callahan. I know we've been over this before. So Bo recruiting wasnt ghat great at first. So he beeds talent to succeed. Wow. Theres a news flash.

I don't want him as a coach here, but he wouldn't have continual NFL jobs if he couldn't coach and develop talent.

The NFL is more about scheming and puttin pieces in place than it is developing talent. Many times coaces are handed players in there prime. Development is a much more challenging issue in college than in the NFL.

Totes. No one ever improves in the nfl.

Vintage polo...

I never said that. Please quote me where i said-or even insinuated-that there is no need for development in the NFL. Now. On to what i really did say. That "The NFL is more about scheming and puttin pieces in place than it is developing talent".

Developing talent is more crucial in the college game than it is in the Nfl.

Abd in regards to callahan, please show me the offense that he worked for thats been of such juggernaut status since Gruden was his brain.....

Hence, im not very sure hes even that great at that. Of course any husker fan with perspective would already know this.

Don't you complain about people setting up strawman arguments? I suppose this is the tangent thread. Carry on.

You certainly implied it, as you were dismissing away whatever claim you were making in the first place.

Besides, is Callahan a good head coach? Obviously not, but the reasons why not are a lot more similar to a current head coach and his troubles than anyone cares to think.

Besides, let's use your same argument you did with BC and his offense show me the last juggernaut defense Bo had where the talent wasn't gift wrapped for him. By your argument, maybe Bo would be better with players in their prime and putting them in his scheme.

 

[Abdullah the Butcher]

I think Bo would be a much better NFL defensive coordinator with talent already given to him.

 

[TheSker]

I don't want him as a coach here.

And thus the hopeful end of yet another thread about this ever-so-stale topic that many many people, including Pelini's boss, disagree with you on.

I'm confused

Are we talking geometry

Or a tan gent

this seems like a specious argument that may have been true in the 90's. but given how many true freshman start and make an impact and how athletes are playing at a pretty high level at competition for most of their lives, i would imagine player development is not what it used to be in college. and if you got the right players, it would be about just plug and play.

bottom line is bo needs to get better players, or get better at scheming to their strengths rather than trying to force their skill sets into his schemes. but it seems as if you are arguing that bo has developed callahan's talent, but is now struggling to develop his talent? i am pretty confused now after reading this discussion a few times.

I am not excited about Armstrong as our QB in any way shape or form. Bo has tunnel vision so we are more or less stuck with him unless he gets injured. Kellogg should have seen the field tons more than he ended up seeing last season. Nothing shocking there.

I'm team Stanton and the guy hasn't even taken a snap yet. That's how unimpressed I am with Tommy Armstrong so far anyway.

Lol... when haven't you been clamoring for the backup? You wanted Carnes to start over Taylor.

lol.

When I see posts like this that do not get moved to places like the tangent thread, as opposed to the posts that do, it answers a lot.
