Nebraska should be like Colorado was 30 years ago, the head coach gets a one year contract, we can have a revolving door with coaches if he doesn’t win a national championship don’t renew his contract hire next man up. Do away with the athletic director just let the state legislature decide everything

Yeah because there's no middle ground between one-year contracts and playing Santa Claus with lavish, ridiculous, undeserved contract extensions.

And then there is the tired strawman of "if he doesn't win a national championship" - as if that's even in the same universe of what Rhule needs to do to have job security.

Rhule's agent must read this idiotic drivel and just laugh his a$$ off all the way to the bank.

I’m sick of all the fake narratives that somehow we only accept national championships as a sign of success. That is nonsense

How about just playing competent football and beating the teams we out talent and out resource ?

How about not getting out coached?
How about managing time-outs and the clock like an average high school coach?
How about developing players - legitimate measurable improvement?
How about stop blaming the referees and the league for our failures?

Most of us would gladly take that.

I totally agree with you, but at times we have been worked over by B1G officials sticking it to us.

The compensation of game management been a problem with the past 3 Head coaches and they have all been at blame enoubh times helping in our W/L colum.

Would love to see us with 9 wins which use to be the norm for our program.

Yeah, I hated beating back to back ranked Mizzo and Okie State. I hated beating Ohio State and Michigan. It sucked playing in back to back conference championship games. It sucked beating the **** out of Minny and MSU.

I know I know...Wisconsin beat him. Wisconsin is done.

I know, I know...he could not recruit...Rex, Ameer, RG, David, All those bad *** JC DB's.

That's true, but most people who are making millions a year only ***** about their customers to their wife, unlike Bo who had zero filter:

"Our crowd. What a bunch of ******* fair-weather *******—they can all kiss my *** out the ******* door. 'Cause the day is ******* coming now. We'll see what they can do when I'm ******* gone. I'm so ******* pissed off "

I mean, I am guessing that like most people, they ***** to anyone that will listen. Don't you?

Now, imagine being recorded all the time, some crazy **** would pop up.

Also, he was right...we bitched and cried and since he left, it has been ******* horrible.

Get better and the officiating suddenly will get better as well. The lamest excuse out there. It’s a high school throw back.

Yeah... except Bo's job was one that paid him $2M-3M per year.

Every single head football coach gets ripped on one time or another. That's part of the job. Every coach seems to understand that except for Bo and he's the only one who ever got real sensitive about it. We're also probably the only program with fans who came (still come) to Bo's rescue any time his feelings got hurt and threw a temper tantrum.

Bo was toxic as hell. He said he was and that he couldn't stay in one place more than five years. Bo said it, but you know different. Remind me how his career has gone.

Sure, he has an NFL super bowl ring. He has a college NC ring. He retired around the age of 50.

Maybe!

But if you did not know him at all and if your hatred for him was not clouding your judgement (just as my love for him might clouding mine)...would you say that a coach with

A super bowl ring
NC ring
A FBS title game appearance
100 career wins and 55 losses
Helped put probably 12 players in the NFL
Retired at 50 years old

Was a total loser that can't coach? Or would you say that was at the very least a slightly above average, C+/B- type of career? Just be honest, please.

I would say that is a B- career.

Bo and Carl both treated me very well and were easy to work.with on a project. I know several players who played for them that absolutely loved them- fiercely loyal because Bo loved them and had their back.

However the lack of self awareness was awful when it came to turning the players against the fans. Bo was a train wreck on many game days and it didn’t help the team or the University.

Bo loves football and coaching kids- but his thin skin and inability to self control just doesn’t lend itself to being gainfully employed over the long haul. He needed to go and I like him for the most part.

Today’s equation just isn’t a good fit for Bo Pelini

Hahaha well at least you're honest about your judgment being clouded.

Honestly, I'd call him a hell of a position coach/coordinator when he was in his prime and an above average head coach that wasn't nearly good enough on the field to offset all his other bullsh*t.

I actually don't have any hatred for him, so I'm not worried about my judgment being clouded. I think he had run his course and it was time to move on. Had he won more, he would have been given more leniency. But I feel the leniency he was given was more than enough for the results he was producing.

I've never thought our downfall was firing Pelini. Our downfall was moving to the B1G and who we replaced Pelini with.

Nice twist by adding refs and reporters. You know we're specifically talking about fans.

Even if they (coaches) all do get sensitive about it from fans, you wouldnt know because they act like adults instead of crybaby Pelini.

Wrong, It’s obvious our downfall was when Eichorst was hired as the AD and he wasn’t competent hiring a head coach and had to ask another AD from the Big10.

Hiring Riley was idiotic, and the whole fan base thought SF was our savior and bring us back turned out to be the biggest disaster that could’ve happened.

And to this day we are paying for the decisions our past 3 AD made for us, Moving to the B1G was a smart decision by TO and Perlman, that’s a notion you want to believe but that hasn’t been the issue.

I guess but I don't care.

Just like I don't care if the coaches "like me" and do charity work.

If you want to care about the coaches feelings and your feelings that is great but that is not the type of fan that I am.

Just like the losers that are like "Oh wow, I don't think I can root for the Pats anymore since I found that their coach likes hot girls"

Freddy Krueger could be the head coach for NU and if he wins AT LEAST 9 games each season and sometimes 10...I am going to look past a few of the poor choices that he made in his life.

Just like Mother Theresa could coach NU and if she is not winning 9 or 10 games...I will be like "Maybe she is spending too much time feeding the starving kids in India"

What part of "our downfall was who we replaced Pelini with" is any different than what you're saying? How is that "wrong"?

B1G is a horrible fit. And the money is yet to help our football program. Those 2 things aren't "what I want to believe." Those are facts.

Though I generally agree with your overall premise, I don't agree that there's this finite line into perpetuity at 9 wins where anything over it let's you act however you want and anything below it throws out everything else you're good at out the window. That's the part a lot of fans struggle with. It's all fluid. Things like severity of the actions, time with the program, how bad the losses are, expectations, etc all play a role. Bo had run his course. It was time.

Are you kidding me, I have toured the new football facility it’s is something to see. That was built with B1G money don’t fool yourself.

Majority of tour recruits or portal players comment on how fabulous our football facility is.

So, Save it quit the crying.

Again Coaching hires since Pelini was fired.

What part aren’t you understanding here, has nothing about being in the B1G and results would had been the same in the Big12.
