[huskerator 5000]

As I said earlier I'm converted. We want to be the guy in the corporation that never applies for a promotion because it could be risky, and we might fail. We're just going to take the safe 9 to 5 route, mow the lawn on Saturdays with our shorts, black socks and sandals. And say how crazy it was for that other guy that took the "risky" promotion was because he "might" fail. Oh yeah, he might also be parking a Lexus in the executive parking only stall. Success is NOT for cowards.

This is one of the more offensive lines of reasoning you guys have. What I'd say is, whether you want to keep Bo or not if you think the decision is about "courage," you're already wrong.

Success is NOT for cowards.

Success is NOT for the rash, either.

How some can be so cocksure that Bo has topped off is beyond me.

And how some can be so cocksure that a "risk" is always going to be rewarded, I have no idea.

UB, aren't you also pretty critical of the coaching job Bo has done?

yep
doesn't mean I think it's time to fire him
obviously I'll go with what Eichorst decides, we'll see how it plays out
Bo's got some work to do to save his job, IMO
if he gets that job done, he deserves to stay
if he constinues to lose, buh bye

I agree with this.

My requirements that Bo needs to accomplish this year are probably higher than yours (no more regular season losses, appearance in the B1G CG and at the very least a competitive game).

if he gets to Indy and can keep Urb from making a fool out of our team. I will shut up and wait for another year if he stays. Not holding my breath.

This pretty much breaks it down to the simplest terms......

At the beginning of the season, many were predicting a 10-2 reg season finish as being "realistic" (I thought it was overly optimistic, and predicted 9-3).

Now it's the bare minimum to avoid being fired?

I feel like the target is moving to fit the agenda.

He constantly brings up politics at thanksgiving dinner and embarrasses the hell out of us.

Uh, oh. Guess I'm going to have to suppress my annual Thanksgiving anti-President you know who rant. It was going to be vintage….tons of stuff this year.

as bad a coach as Bo apperently is, if he gets to the ccg, he without a doubt gets more time

bo's emphatic optimism about the defense in january and beyond, combined with a powerful offense fueled the optimism
it has been mostly disapointing
still time to correct the perception
