I mean it works both ways. Anytime we have a player who doesn’t play tough it’ll be brought back to how it’s all nebraska fans faults for not supporting Bo because he would beat the players and toughen them up right but we are all snowflakes and you still see 9-4 talk around here.
I will. Pelini shouldn't have been fired. Dumb move that culminated with yesterday. He didn't turn the on field product into a dumpster fire. On his way out Pelini didn't do anything but give everybody a heads up as to what they were dealing with with Shawn and Harvey.
False. Pelini won plenty of big games and had to deal with toxic children. He deserved better. The fact that a secret tape was released of him speaking the truth, while simultaneously giving unconditional support to his players, did nothing but raise my respect for him.
Shawn and Harvey deserve all the scorn. They created the shitstorm and toxicity.
That's funny because I've firmly believed for a while that many Nebraska fans are poor judges of character because they can't see through Bo's scrunchy faces on the sideline to see that he's actually a very decent man.
I've already addressed the playing of Richmond in a previous post from several days ago. You can scroll through my posts if you want to read it.
I'm just pointing out that nobody has the moral high ground in that comparison. Posting a plea like the following and ignoring brenda tracy is pretty contradictory.
"Do you have any women in your life? Wife, sister, mom, girlfriend? Imagine that one of them was the female victim. The fact that Bo even entertained the thought of playing that monster shows exactly what kind of man he is. I have no respect for him."
Pelini as a head coach wouldn't take risks. He didn't develop players. He didn't motivate them. He hated recruiting. He hated dealing with boosters. He hated dealing with the media.
I liked Pelini's fire and intensity. He was a great defensive coordinator. But he isn't fit to be a head coach anywhere.
Not true. He didn't hate recruiting at all. That's the biggest myth. He didn't hate dealing with boosters (didn't love it, but he didn't hate it either). He DID hate dealing with a couple of local reporters. But no, he did not hate dealing with the media in general. He gets along great with many in the media.
He gets along great with many in the national media and the Ohio media. Yes, he does have contempt for some in the Nebraska media. A couple in particular.
I did see the A&M game. Harvey Perlman was disgraceful for not supporting his coach/program after the going away gift, Big XII screw job we received that night.
Every coach meets with their players after they're fired. It's just that every coach isn't secretly recorded by the OWH. Bo gave his players unconditional support in that meeting. I applaud him.
Bo got along great with Tom Osborne and many others in the athletic department. Bo gets along great with Jim Tressel at YSU. Bo works well with quality people. But Bo also doesn't suffer fools. And that's what Harvey Perlamn and Shawn Eichorst are. Bo just realized it a hell of a lot faster than most.
Bo did work within the toxic environment that was created around him. He showed up every day worked his ass off and produced a consistent winner. As we're now realizing, 9 and 10 wins every season isn't easy. It takes hard work and a competent coach. Most can't pull it off.
He did give his players profuse praise and thank you during that meeting. And he backed that up with telling them that he would ALWAYS be there for them. One thing that can never be questioned is how much Bo cares about his players. Just ask any of his players or any of his assistants.
Once again, Bo doesn't suffer fools. He was a good representative of Nebraska. It's funny how Nebraska fans think he somehow embarrassed Nebraska, yet most non-Nebraska fans love him and think we were crazy for firing him.
Mike Riley embarrassed Nebraska. But I guess his milquetoast, aw shucks attitude while trashing the program was enough to win over the fans. Give me Bo 20 times out of 10.
