It would be nice if we had a coach play to our teams strengths instead of playing a player because he has a single digit, or because Rhule has some weird emotional ties to a specific player.
Wow, EE game about to start and you are STILL here posting?
Yeah...we are totally not your biggest game every single year.
Collins is still playing at a high level.
Bo struggled to recruit and develop offensive tackles and QBs. He recruited a JV QB for godsake.
That is literally how all the Big Ten teams play except for Indiana, OSU and Oregon.
All the rest are just trying to hold on to the football, eat clock on offense and on defense just play 2-3 deep all game and hope the other team ***** up.
He was recruited as a safety. Bo didn't recruit one good qb his entire time at NU.
Yes an athlete. He spent most of his freshman year playing wr and safety on the scout team.
Tmart
Armstrong (was he a Bo recruit?)
How did Bo win all those ******* games with no good QB's and no good recruiting.
Sure, i'll give you Armstrong. One QB recruit in his entire time at NU is not something to brag about.
Same with his awful OT recruiting and development.
The Bo thing gets WAY over-discussed. Bo had weaknesses and I don't think he was the guy to get us to the promised land (natty). His behavior was embarrassing by the end.
But let's get real. The guy won 9 or more every year, developed the greatest Defensive player in history (and so many NFL'ers), he won a Conference Championship that the suits in Texas stole from us, and Bo was Lombardi in comparison to the trash coaches we've had since.
We done?

That was a nice gift from your mommy and daddy. Do they still pay for your Netflix and cell phone.
Huskers choked a lead they held most of the game until the last second. Silver lining is Nebraska came out on top!
We would get blown out by teams that are leagues better than us.
Now we get blown out by teams that are leagues better than us and lose to low-mid tier teams, with losing streaks to perennial powerhouses like Iowa and Minnesota.
Should we get another Bo-type coach or get someone with actual developmental experience that didn't flop in the NFL?
So Tmart and Armstrong, I think Tmart was even named all conference, first team?
And he put, I think, 5 OL in the NFL?
Again, Martinez wasn't recruited as a qb, and played most of his freshman year on the scout team as a wr and safety. Carl Pelini was his primary recruiter.
I was a huge Bo fan when hired and by the end I was off his wagon. I don't want another Bo. But on this board I see the back and forth and everyone seems so black and white (He sucked and here's why! Or he was the boss and here's why).
Dude had a ton of success for us. A ton. And he developed some really good players. That said I think he topped out and good teams had his defense figured out.
Doesn't that make it MORE impressive?
He was recruited as an athlete that played QB in HS, then spent a year practicing on defense AND then become a first team all conference QB.
BS. He was recruited as a QB. He also played QB on the scout team. His athleticism allowed him to play other roles. Who are you?
He was recruited as an athlete by Carl Pelini. I'm telling you for a fact he didn't start playing qb until the end of his freshman year on the scout team. He started at wr, moved to safety and finished at QB.
Did you watch practices that year? I was lucky enough to watch two spring practices and multiple practices in the fall.
Ron Brown was best friends with my coach in high-school. My coach was also huge with FCA that gave us special privileges with Tom Osborne and Ron Brown.
The only school that recruited Taylor as QB was Nebraska. So, yes, he was originally recruited as a QB by NU. He probably wouldn't have come to NU otherwise. Now, what they did with him on the practice squad during his true freshman year is irrelevant.
That poster acts like Tmart was told "YOU CAN'T PLAY QB AT NU" by Bo.
Wasn't he like a 4 year starter at QB???
No, he was recruited as an athlete, just like every other school recruiting him. We told him he would have the opportunity. Acting as if Bo knew he would be a stud qb is the dumbest thing I have read here in a long time.
Wikipedia doesn't agree with you. My own memory doesn't agree with you.
