Pelini should have been allowed to fail on the field. Same with Solich. Instead we had ADs who divined that failure for them was right around the corner, so they had to be cashiered.
I had no problem with Bo's W/L record. I did have a problem with him acting the way he did. I know a little more than some about how he treated support staff. He didn't just lose his mind on the sideline. Tom averted some very serious charges against Carl and at least one very embarrassing lawsuit against Bo and the University for the way they treated University employees. Bo had no business being the face of NU and the state. EVEN TOM has admitted publicly that he made a mistake in hiring Bo. Frank warned him and he ignored Frank's advice.
Honestly, it's my belief IF Bo was at the point he's at now in his life and he had another shot at a program like NU, he would be more successful. I think he would understand the mistakes he made and probably be a little more even keeled than he was. The sad part is that he's burned too many bridges and had such a crappy run at YSU that no AD wants to touch him. Put him at a place like South Florida and he would probably win a lot of games as long as they kept Carl away from his program.
Well my good friend I think this is our first disagreement. But so what? I have nothing but full respect for dinglefritz! I really mean that.
But for me winning games is a far, far better result of the HC than being quite PC, kind and so on but loses games all over the place like Clownahan, Riley & Frost.
Being the old geezer that I am (then living in Lincoln) I reminder quite well how lots fans in Lincoln thought Devaney was rude & horribly disgusting. But then he starts winning national titles and they then shut the f*ck up immediately.
Haha, anyways, just my mindless opinion sir. The very best to you dinglefritz!!!
