Bo ran the defense. Bo made the defensive calls.
The ONLY time Papuchis made any defensive calls was for the second half of that game that they took Pelini to the hospital at half time. Bo had consumed too many Red Bulls and was having cardiac issues. That half that Papuchis called was the best half I saw us play on defense during Bo's tenure. Bo was a crappy head coach and a crappy game day coach. He always got out coached in the second half of games.
this coming from a guy who worships at the altar of an asshole who hung his hat on meaningless regular season and december bowl wins
We'll see about Frost. He didn't inherit a roster stocked with multiple NFL players including Suh like Pelini did. That said, it's obvious that Bo's early record was better than what we've seen out of Frost. I think Bo knows football. I just don't think he was the right head coach for Nebraska. I also don't believe with the way he recruited that we were ever going to get over the hump with him as our head coach. Frost has done it elsewhere. Now it's time to show us he can do it here. I'm optimistic but the further away time wise from Solich and Tom we get, the harder it gets IMO.
Frost has room to grow. Pelini was maxed out when he left, as indicated by not only the fact he had to go to FCS, but his results there.
it's a shame he wasn't tarred and feathered on the 50yd line on his way out for what an absolute embarrassment he was to NU
He tarred and feathered himself with that abusive boyfriend speech he gave the team (fittingly) at some high school that got leaked
Don't forget that we had one fewer conference game, and would get an extra creampuff at the beginning of the year. Bo made a killing on the sunbelt teams, the fresno states and wyomings, and the dakota schools. Heck, we almost lost several of them.
What a terrible argument... no way that’s all on coaching. That’s a lack of talent. A HUGE lack of talent.
Bo's Defense is great when he has elite talent that he doesn't have to recruit. It was great at LSU, it was great his first couple of years at Nebraska. It dropped off once the talent left.
I don’t disagree that we are terrible and a laughing stock. That’s not my argument. What I am saying is Frost inherited a product that was worse than anyone knew. Evidence is the 2 years in a row where OSU didn’t have to punt.
The Iowa board is that way. --->
bo made Nebraska a joke. his weekly tantrums were regular fodder for the college football world, and he even provided his own exclamation points at the end of every season by getting his ass destroyed in increasingly embarrassing fashion.
I predict LSU will have little tolerance for the amount of yards Bo's defenses will put up with superior talent.
I'm sure the comment about being a good coach for Iowa meant for the standard of success he had-winning 9 games a year and nothing else is good for a program like Iowa, not a program like Nebraska that expects more.
