1) Bo has a history of not commenting on things until the become official. Meaning nothing is official yet.

2) Has anyone in the media even asked about the status of Watson or Gilmore? Everything I read is about future OC's.

3) to the person who commented on Osborne not being a liar. Tom Osborne was not a head coach during the internet/message board era and would probably act similar to the way Pelini is now had the internet been around then

I strongly disagree with this statement. I do ot believe a man of Osbbornes character would justify the means for the gain.
And I don't understand what the internet has to do with it?
You have a head coach from another team make an unsolicited statement that one of his assistants is going to Nebraska....
You a job posting by the University.....
You have an assistant retiring in the midst of denials of any changes.....

Just where is the message boards in this mess? All we do is sit here and argue.

It's well known that as a HC Osborne was not comfortable talking with the media.

Devaney was though..

I understand not being comfortable. I have no problem with him canceling conferences. I even understand and applaud it concerning the signing day conference. I probably wouldn't of given the teleconference even.

Releasing a statement stating "My coaches did a great job recruiting and I look forward to working with the new recruits in the coming years and that is all I have to say about that." would of been great in my opinion.

But he didn't.
Being uncomfortable does not justify lying.

Osborne never had to let anyone go..

Edit: Prior to Callahan

This boils down to DIGNITY. These guys are friends, their families are friends, It's not easy to put a friend and their family on the unemployment line...Right or wrong, it just seems to me that Bo is trying to do this with as little attention as possible to protect all those involved. Everybody on the outside only sees the tough Bo. The guy's got a heart.

How would that be different if he just said he wasn't going to talk about it?

i just think "no comment" comments would get more ridicule and just cause more questions.

And to be fair to Wats and Gimore, I am sure they are good people and they do need to leave with dignity (if they are getting axed).

I am in agreement sir.

The thing with Bo and the media has gone to far...I understand both sides. However, this has turned into a cat and mouse game. :L

The longer it's prolonged I wouldn't be surprised to see Osborne or even Perlman step in with a statement..

HH, I wouldn't say I took it personal as in taking offense.

Not even really sure what post you are referring to unless it is the one where you asked why "I" thought I had the right to know or something like that.

That I responded personally as if it was in response to my post personally was because it seemed to be in response to my post personally becaue it was my post personally quoted with portions of it bolded in your quote of my post personnaly. So if I responded personally as if it was a response to my post personally with portions of it bolded from my post personally when it wasn't a quoted response to my post personally with portions of it bolded from my post then I apologize.....I think? :rolleyes: :L

But seriously no offense was taken. I just wanted to clarify that the last thing I think is that he should be telling us (or the media) everything that goes on behind the scenes.....

I did take offense at BRS post because of the tone (bold and expanded sentences) but I am over that....personallly :D

So instead he lies?

In the words of Hoyt on John Boy & Billy -

John Boy: "So how'd that work out?"

Hoyt: NOT TOO GOOD!!!!

QUOTE=HuskerInSecLand;531450]You got to be fucking kidding me if you think he doesn't have a clue about job postings in his own department. The HR department of any corporation does not just decide to put up a posting. It has to be requested from someone and in this case the request would have come from the Athletic Department. Now if Bo didn't know about it then he has a loose cannon on his staff or he is still "not involved with the offense" which means it would have come from Watson.


I will try to explain this in real easy terms.. for anyone who thinks this was a lie or cover up or ?

This is not confirming any rumor or denying any either... but

Point 1.) If there is an OC job open, Bo would obviously know this... OK!

Point 2. ) Bo would be like every other CEO and want to get hiring process started.. OK!

Point 3. ) Bo would make contacts with High end recruiters whom have contact with top notch candidates and or take personal call or make personal calls to those who he feels would fit the mold he is looking for.. OK!

Point 4. ) The (Athletic Department Personal Director) would be aware of said opening and even knowing that Bo is doing his own research with candidates they (HR) would know the laws that can not preclude any other applicants that may want to be considered. Thus, they would be the ones placing the said ad on the job board. OK!

Point 5. ) Since Bo, the CEO of this company is trying to get the best coach available, he is busy in his own aspects and would not be pissing around with what HR has posted on the job board. OK? Is this starting to get a little fucking clearer…? He is not fucking lying about the job posting issues..

If he said that I am not aware of a job opening or search, then he would be lying, but since this information is a confidential search and this data may or may not be true... kind of fucking hard for him to say anything.

He is trying to do the job he was paid to do and this is not a 10 person organization where he will know what the HR department does or is required to do...

Sorry Huskers in SEC, not trying to bash on you...personally...

Again, I am not confirming or denying any rumors here... just using this example to show a point...




Now this is possible if Watson is going to can Gilmore but do you really think that at some point in some meeting Watson wouldn't of come to Bo and said "Hey I think Gilmore needs to go" or "I saw so and so and I know there are no positions open but I think we really need to get this guy on our staff".

The only other possibility is that Osborne decided to can Watson and he has decided that Pelini is to incompetent to even bother discussing it with, and I highly doubt that.

The bottom line is that either Pelini doesn't have a clue what is going on with his staff or he is lying. You pick and use whatever size font and as much bold as you want. It doesn't change.[/QUOTE]

Anyone that doesn't think Bo did not know about the job posting is just flat out dumb.

If Wats has not been formally fired, there is not a open position right now.

Um... Sorry but what fucking idiot thought it would be a good idea to post a job opening with that description?? Interns don't fucking recruit. If Jamrog did this he's a fucking moron if he thought this wouldn't fan the flames.

If Bo didn't know, then he has to be awfully fucking pissed off to not be notified: "Hey, we just put up this job offer, people know and they're freaking out, be ready for that." (bigredsaid voice)
