Just about any coach not named Tressel would have had a worse record than Bo. Only Saban won 9+ games the last 7 years. You guys should have gone for Bo.

We have a great program with history, money, and facilities. We know it. We will never be in absolute shambles like your program. Hiring a guy to recruit and coach up your WR's won't help.

The more I read the more I like this hire. I think we may have hired this guy a few years sooner than most schools would have but I hope we found our guy for the long haul. I like his work ethic. He said he wouldn't sleep until we had something to be proud of in memorial stadium.

Can he stay awake for 3-5 years. That's how long its gonna take to turn this around.

I hope so. I like his work ethic and of he can keep up with recruiting I think he has a shot.

Let's hope. Really tired of being everyone's bitch.

And Rusty said they're a couple lucky bounces away from a Bowl Game, so I think we're good. :D

I'd have liked it, but someone said it best. Pelini's best option is to go back and be a DC in the SEC rather than get his ass beat here.



Yeah, we're ass. No worldbeater coach is going to come here in it's current state. We have to hope that we get a guy that becomes a world beater here.

You guys with all your high and mighty tradition, history, money, and facilities got a guy with a ****ing losing record.

LOL Bill Calahan disagrees with NU never being in shambles. I ****ing lived up there when he wrecked that ship. Yeah, it's probably not as bad as ours is now, but NU basketball was in shambles too. I wouldn't talk too much about using the term "never."

Well they are a freshman and sophomore both starting their first year. The other was arguably our best player but got hurt for the year the first game. Could easily be in a bowl game now that they are healthy and experienced and the second year in Manginos offense.

You should put his picture in your avatar. That's worked out well for you.
