You wanna check who has more players in the NFL?? Nobody said the Pelini's can't develop talent...anybody can develop talent. Masters at developing talent...I don't think so...come back in 10 years and then you can toot their horn.
More players in the NFL? Now? In the past 10 years? In the past 30 years? What do you mean? Right now, NU probably doesn't have as many, because this has been our worst 10 year stretch in 40 years. I never said that we had tons of talent, I said that the Pelini's (as well as Sanders, Brown, and Papuchis) are excellent at teaching and developing talent. Maybe you don't understand getting the most out of your players, but it was something that Tom Osborne and his staff were great at, and Pelini looks like he is good at it too. Also, he has only been here for 3 years.
You play in a weak conference period...I have good friends who are BIG TIME Husker fans...and even they admit that playing in the B12 North gives them 2 or 3 games a year at least with no pressure.
Does the Big12N have 3 weak teams, yes. Does the Big 10. Yes. Since the Big 12 was formed, we have had 3 different teams win MNC, and had quite a few others play in the MNC game. The Big 10 has had 1 MNC in that time, and that win was highly questionable. The Big 10 has been a joke until the last 2 years. The Big 12 had 5 teams go 10-2 this year and were rated between 9 and 20. Thats not too shabby. Looks like the Big 10 is having its problems in the bowls, too.
You and I both know that we can't say whether kids like to play for Bo or not.
They do, see how much differently the team plays for him as opposed to Crapahan. And, there aren't many highly recruited kids leaving the team after the season, unlike Iowa. I
CAN say that they love to play for him, just read any of the recruiting article and how the players love his honesty and passion.
If their talent is so good then why do they lose the games they do?
Pay attention. Again, I never said that we had that much talent, I said that this Bo does a great job at coaching these guys up. I wasn't sure how talented we were before the season, but since the season ended, the only team that we played that was equally or more talented as was OU. Lets see: Henery, Crick, Prince, Hagg, and David all received All-American honors.
Why does any team lose? Stupid penalties, turnovers, not being prepared to play, not getting any breaks, and a bad offensive coordinator.
Their is a lot more to all coaches behind the scenes...how many other coaches do you see dropping F bombs, ripping his players, his coaches, the media???? He is embrassing on the sideline...
You must not watch much football, or sports in general. Ever see the Stoops Brothers, Spurrier, they don't call Muschamp "Coach Boom Mother F'er" for nothing? How about Coach K? Lot's of coaches act in a similar fashion.
he is a solid D coordinator that is not cut out to be a head coach. How is Bo developing offensive talent???? His offense is a joke! I assume that isn't his fault...the buck stops with Bo for everything that happens in his team. He doesn't know offense and continues to ignore it...coaching is more then preparing your defense to play. My take on the Pelini's is they are good defensive minds, they are not capable of doing all that it takes to be a head coach...it is not the way Bo is wired. He ignores his offense and keeps an O coordinator because his AD is making him...he is a west coast offense guy that Bo is making him run something else. Don't kid yourself TO runs the show in Lincoln not Bo.
I agree with you on this, for now. Only time will tell how good Bo will be at being a HC. He turned this team around in 1 year. We all hope that he stops ingoring the offense, and get a few new offensive coaches (OC/qb/wr/ol) because this offense has lost us too many games in the past 2 years, while only winning us 1. If he makes the moves needed, we will be right back where we should be.
I suppose since his guys will run through a wall for him how do you spin the bowl debacle...Omaha papers said practices in Lincoln were a joke...practices in California were awful and there were hints of quitting by the team and coaches.
I heard that the practice were better than what you are saying, but there is no spin. The team (cough, cough, offense) was uninspired, and played horribly. Stupid penalties, turnover, and a horrible called game by Shawn Watson. I have no idea why this happened, but it was obvious that they were not prepared to play. I've heard that the offensive players hate T-Mart, that they have given up on the coaches, that they didn't care about playing in a game that they played in last year, against a team they whipped earlier, in a letdown game after the lost the CCG. Ultimately, it falls on Bo, and I hope he does what he needs to do. Its only his 3rd year as a HC, and he has done a good job so far.
