The Bad Guy
All I have heard from media and fans since after the game on saturday is change this and change that. Or how Bo should change. What in the world makes anyone think that Bo is going to change anything? For 5 years we have been hearing about "the process". After the game Bo said, "Contrary to what you guys think, I haven't forgotten how to coach defense and how to stop the run." What part of any of that makes anyone think things will change. Damon talked about Bo needing someone on the staff that can hold Bo accountable. Why would Bo hire someone like that when he is busy hiring his family or friends or golf instructors or coordinators that have never done that job before? He does not know how to swallow his pride and admit that his "process" is not working. Has it worked in the past? Hell yes!!!! But it worked at places and in situations where the elite players were already there. He has no idea how to evaluate and coach up talent. Guys like Bill Snyder are successful in a place like Manhattan, Kansas because he has a "process" and he does not waiver from that "process". But the big difference is that his "process" works!!!!! There are many disadvantages to coaching at a location that Nebraska is in, but there are less disadvantages here than there are in Manhattan, Kansas. The other problem with the "process" is the inconsistency. When certain positions screw up, the player disappears and rarely gets back on the field. Then there are other positions that don't have the same accountability. Jean Baptiste screws up and disappears for games until this last week. Cameron Meredith can't do anything and rarely leaves the field. Brandon Kinnie last year can't catch a cold and plays every game. Jamal Turner drops a couple passes and never gets back in the game. There are many different examples of that. I am not calling for a bunch of guys to be benched, even though I believe that Braylon Heard is the best RB we have and would like to see him play more.
I just feel like we are in the same situation we were in 5 years ago. We have a very stubborn coach that is who he is and isn't going to change. Whether you like or hate who he is and how he acts, it is really pointless to talk about because nothing is going to change.
I have never wanted Bo as our head coach but have also never called for him to be fired. I will say however that if he is not fired after this season then he will be here for at least another 3 years after this one (unless of course he leaves on his own). The schedule change after this season will cater to Bo gaining a cushion because he will rack up a bunch of easy wins and the number in the win column will be window dressing to make himself and this team look better than they probably are.
I just had to get all this off my chest.
