I think your criticism was fair of those two though. I only take issue with unfair criticism like, "BoP could never be successful because it's impossible for him to look past his giant nose" en sech.

To be fair I think I did question how many quarters bo could fit in his nose once.

My main problems with bo were that the accolades of him being a 'Defensive Guru' were largely attributed to defense he learned as a position coach in the NFL from 1994-2002.
Those defenses worked pretty well in 2003 when he became D.C. at Nebraska, but by 2010 offenses had adapted and learned how to exploit them. Hence all the confusion on the field as they were getting ripped to pieces. Suh simply masked the weaknesses by disrupting the line-of-scrimmage and QB's timing.
Bo was also a lazy recruiter opting to go after "The Best of the Rest". He put little effort into trying to compete with other blue-bloods for talent. The guys he did sign were upper echelon mid-major players or mid level P5 players, but not top 20 program P5 players. Of course they were going to pick Nebraska over Memphis or Vanderbilt.
Riley could recruit but lacked attention to detail, and the ability to put the pieces together. A complete clusterfuck.

They are all gun-shy on their hype machines. Bopleeny and Mike Riley let them down. :dhd:

Don't worry ladies, R_A says the program is finally in good hands. This blue-blood is about to wake up. Bookmarket. :2cents:

Any talk of more than 6 wins is considered reckless nonsense round these parts.

I guess I am finally the reckless nonsensical one now, because I believe there will be more than 6 wins this season.

Only about 2 weeks late but finally saw this. Sorry I haven’t been around much...life has been pretty nuts lately. I’ll probably be around a little more going forward. I’m so out of the loop...today’s the first day I’ve even listened to the radio in a while and fired up the ole twitter machine. Hope everyone’s been good around here.

Same exact thing for me. I imagine you and I have similar reservations about the new regime, being that we've been emotionally beaten to a pulp for the better part of a decade.

I legitimately JUST started trolling Bama fans and Big Ten East posters today. It's mildly entertaining.
