Yeah, thats been the word around here. It wouldnt suprise me, he hasnt been in the state ever since the bill callahan experiment started and even before. And now he has been seen all over campus, you have to think somethings up.
No hostility here. Bo has been a tiger as long as he was a tiger. I hope the success he has achieved through the talents he has coached here will propel him to be a great Head Coach. Careful what you read as journalism has had to take a step back warranting this years BCS results. Other then a few arguments with this years results, the final tally will show that what happen was what was supposed to happen after the final whistle has blown. Journalist have a hard time writing about what may seem clear cut and are forced to find stories under the outhouse to fill what should be empty pages. :geaux:
Anyway here is the link, I guess the general thought up here was that a majority of the fans in Baton Rouge didnt really like Bo and nobody knew why, we can understand that you might be upset but everybody has there games that dont turn out so well, Look at the conference your in. Ever since he has been there, he has ranked no lower than third best defense. http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2007/12/02/huskerextra/football/doc47524454c89c9274738697.txt
The best thing for us up here would be for Bo's defense to really shutdown Ohio State, while your offense just dominates Ohio states defense, showing the country what a joke the big ten is. After that Bo could return to the cornhusker state and talk to his players and recruits as a national championship coach. All the while Herbstreit tries to find excuses why Ohio State got beat so badly for the second year in a row.
This might explain it best. However, this bend but not break philosophy has broken quite a bit in the red zone this year. Going from a Saban blitzaholic mode to Pellini's philosophy was different. This year, we started great on defense but did not end up the dominating force we are used to. So you'll get pundits critiquing it. But Bo has been sincere and loyal. Good luck to you.
I think that sums it up pretty well. Definitely glad we had him and appreciate all he has done, would like to see more blitzes and more different blitz packages.
It's nice to hear that Pelini is respected then, I just couldnt figure out how the cornhusker nation could love the guy so much, but we always heard that he was kind of being forced out of LSU. Well thanks for clearing stuff up, hopefully sometime, when we are back in the fight for a BCS game, our two teams could meet up in a bowl game or nonconference schedule. That would be one heck of a game.
have any of you guys heard if maybe some of the recruits or current players may be looking to follow Pelini? How is Pelini as a recruiter? we here he really isnt that great but just figured I would get another opinion.
If this was the truth, do you think Les Miles and Skip Bertman would have requested that Dr. Osbourne allow Bo to coach our team in the National Title. Can't believe everything you hear.
