OSU with fcs talent in equal to NU talent, so as you can see in my equation the matter is resolved
Huh???

When you have seasons that are 5-7, 3-9, 5-7 using FCS talent in a P5 conference It is unjustified to assume he will do the same with FBS talent in a P5 conference.
Honestly I think it is rather ignorant to make such an assumption and I am really tired of everyone who is beating this guy to death before he even has a chance to coach one practice.
TBH I'm seeing a lot of "playing both sides of the coin". A lot of effort to justify and put a positive spin on anything and everything remotely critical with the default being he's a "nice guy".
On one side of the coin I've read and heard "what a great eye he has for talent, he can find diamonds in the rough that nobody else sees, he's a great recruiter, he's one of the best in developing players".
On the other side of the coin (when questioned about his records) it's "He struggled because it was Oregon St, he had FCS talent, he didn't have the money for good assistants".
Are those not contradictions?
The only thing I've heard that's consistent is that he's a "nice guy".
Nice guy or asshole, you've still got to put all the pieces together, get players in the right places, and have them play with good fundamentals and discipline.
I wrote down all my work in the equation Hizzle, talent wise OSU players equal to NU players
Its legit trust me, the accuracy of trasititive property is undeniable here, we match up game for game going back as many as 5 years with the Beavs, talent was never an issue
Calling BS here. Recruiting class rankings over the last 10 years say that NU average class rank was 24.5, while OSU class rank was 47.7. A difference of 23.2 places.
Trust me, I looked them up.
year NU OSU
2014 36 63
2013 22 45
2012 30 44
2011 16 43
2010 26 57
2009 42 50
2008 24 54
2007 20 40
2006 21 33
2005 8 50
Tom, it was satire
So, no BS? I am losing track of who is on which side of the fence here.
It was interesting info to look up none the less. Never compared classes before.

I'm horrible at finding stats. Can someone look up Oregon State's average yards and points allowed per game vs the average for the offenses they played against? Does that make sense? If he consistently held teams under their average with the lower level of talent, then I don't see a problem with the guy.
just looking at the 2014 schedule does have me nervous, giving up 30 to Hawaii (only avg 21 this year), 31 to CU (avg 28.5), 38 to Stanford (avg 26), 45 to Cal (avg 38), 39 to Wash St (avg 32).
I don't see a contradiction either. So it's harder to get talent there so he recruits his ass off to get what he has. Did anyone say he was recruiting 5
And yes I like the hire. You know what I like best? He says he will evaluate the players and use themto their strenths. Bo's hammer is going to rust in a closet somewhere. And he loves the historical attributes of the walk on program here. Yeah, it sounds like he might even learn a couple of our high school coaches names.
The staff? I have said it's his team and he's free to do as he pleases. I also said I hope it is with the condition that if they don't perform they're gone. But that would go unspoken if not for Bo and his disfunctional loyalties.
Yeah as for your inference that bringing his staff here is the same as Bo hiring friends I call BS. That was pulled out of your ass. There is nothing at all except sour grapes to even make that inference from.
I have said over and over that I don't like the bashing when he hasn't had a chance to prove himself. Yes it annoys the shit out of me that you, HIB10 Xorb and a few others have already tried him and fired him for his failed seasons here at Nebraska and he hasn't even coached a game.
You think he might have had a bug put in his ear on what to say in his presser?
Nawwwwww...
