Frost on Bo

Compared to the coaches who came before him and after him, Bo did a good job. But that isn't saying much. Frost is just being nice because Tom was the one who hired Bo.
Oh my gosh, some of you are super virgins. It is okay to admit that Bo did a good job, his win-loss record at NU proves that. Just like it is okay to say he was an asshole too.
Bo did a good job at Nebraska but wasnt a great coach. We have disadvantages here and need great coaching, not good coaching.
He did a good job beating mediocre and bad teams. How's that?

very good? no.
average to slightly above average yes..
but it's all irrelevant as Pelini wasn't fired for his W/L record.

Scott takes the high road. I like that. Classy. Also shortens the discussion, so he can get back to coaching.
Ya know...I was just thinking of how good I felt Bo was, as Wisconsin was kicking the extra point, to make it 70-24 in the conference Championship game. How very proud I was that day to have him coaching our team.
He's just saying he sure as hell would have rather taken over in 2015 than 2018 after Riley went General Sherman on the entire Nebraska football program on accident.
Riley was a crap sandwich, Bo was crap in a brownie.
Seriously, who is a worse HC anywhere than Riley. Damon Benning...maybe?
Tommie Frazier
I mean what is SF going to say? Bo was an asshole and a shitty coach? Of course not. He'd probably say the same about Riley Callahan and Solich.
With open enrollment no one is ever going to win at northwest
He got numbers up
But being a head coach at a place like that drains you
Playing social worker more than coach
Omaha north gets any talent at all from that area
He knows the game inside and out
Great position coach
Great guy always willing to help
Loves kids
Loves Nebraska
?I prefer a General Custer analogy myself...Sherman did it to other folks, not himself
I'm 10,000 times more proud of MR! With his awesome Beaver coaching ability, we never had to worry about being in a conference Championship game.
Progress!!
Agree, what is suppose to say? Of course he is gong to say nice things. Looking back Bo wasn't as bad as we thought, but that is also comparing him to Billy C and Smilin Mike. Arguable 2 of the top 5 worst coaches in Nebraska history. Bo was never going to get a championship. He did just enough to be slightly above average, nothing more.
Hmmm... Riley won 50% of his games at a program that had won a minimum of 9 games pretty much every year for decades. A program where 9 wins each season gets you fired.
Benning had a bad record at a school that has had bad records every year for decades. Having 0 win seasons and 1 win seasons are common. They recycle HC’s there every couple of years. The narrative of Benning being a bad HC at Northwest is just as bad as Tim Miles ruining the Husker basketball program.
Get a clue!!!
Bo was mediocre and it's OK to admit it. The constant beatdowns, perineal 4-loss seasons and allowing 400 yards rushing to one player proves it.
You can tell exactly "how good" our last 2 coaches were by looking at where they are at now.
There is no need for SF to talk bad about them, or really discuss them at all. It serves no purpose.

Agree, I think with the West being overall weak. There really is no reason a coach shouldn't be able to get 8 or 9 wins every year. Bo did not get fired for his W-L record, It was the 1,000 other things he sucked at.
Yeah, I can live with that. Maybe one notch above mediocre but I think this is fair.
Can’t argue against that
All the more reason to jump on the Riley was the worst Nebraska coach in 50 plus years
Riley barely won 4 games last year
What I care about most
Win games
Play well
Be physical
Be mentally strong
Run clean program
Represent the university well
Being nice and winning the media and offseason propaganda not really care about at all

Scott showing his coaching chops there. Very smart move. Throw out the compliment and don't cause any unnecessary drama. Whether he was being 100% honest or not if he says anything negative the press and fans will run with it however say something positive and it will be put to rest. It's a no win situation for Scott and he handled it perfect. Lets face it, look where our last 4 head coaches are coaching:
Asst Coach Oregon St
Head Coach Youngstown St
Offensive Line Coach NFL
Head Coach Ohio University
None of those scream I was a great Power 5 Conference Head Coach.

Pelini is still at Youngstown state... nuff said.
Oh yes, because I've suggested that I loved Riley?? Riley sucked...period. And Bo sucked in important games. Bo got blown out on the national stage more times than I care to remember.
Agree except for the 2009 B1G 12 CG. Still think we were robbed in that game,Nebraska wins that game and Pelini is looked at a hole lot different despite the way he left walking out the door for which he gets his bad reputation.
On paper he did a good job. Him not winning a conference title in '09 and '10 really put pressure on him later in his career and he was never able to capitalize. Off the field, he wasn't a good representative for the football team and the state of Nebraska in general.
In comparison to Riley, Bo is night and day better.

I think that Bo was/is a good coach, he just wasn't a good head coach, if that makes sense. Really not a fit here IMO.
Ding Ding Ding, we have Winner.
Never could handle himself as a good PR man handling the press.
