The players who played on that Championship LSU team and those who played on those stout Nebraska defensive teams would completely disagree with you . I would have to do the same. LSU has always had talent so he got more out of it. Suh and those guys are on record as to how much Bo meant for their development. A guy like Will Compton as well .
Like I said most fans just can't separate themselves from off the field Bo and what he said to even acknowledge what he was As a fan I will never get so invested that I can't take a step back and see it for what it really is. That's why I was one of the first to see Scott Frost for what he was as a coach even though I loved him as a player. Gotta separate yourself.
Forget Bo who talked shit about the fans and chancellor and remember what he did as a coach. Most of those close to the program can't. I can...
Holla
I think you're missing a layer in there when it comes to fans' tolerance of Bo. Not as simple as just completely separating on field Bo from off field Bo. For most (me included) the two were intertwined. A lot more fans would have been tolerant of off field Bo if on field Bo was better. His problem was that off field Bo acted like on field Bo was winning championships. He wasn't.
Had he not been such a petulant bitch when it came to just about everything, fans and administration would have been much more tolerant of his record. Conversely, if he'd have had us in the championship hunt year in and year out, fans and admin would have been much more tolerant of his bitchy petulance.
Nebraska deserved better. That's why he was fired.
