The retards itt are dancing around the obvious - Bo was also a terrible coach

Exactly. I am seeing into the major cope of Nebraska fans though. Some don’t give Bo any credit for his wins for first four seasons so they probably don’t blame Rhule for his first four years at Nebraska. All Rhule’s losses will be Frost’s fault

Not really. Year 3 in modern football is much much much more on the coach than in Bo's time. It's a lot easier to flip the roster.

Bo would have completely tanked this program if allowed to... But fortunately we got someone else to do it.

What hypotheticals did I throw out? That the floor was going to fall out from under him and then said we probably should’ve let that happen before firing him?

It felt fun to ignore the Bauserman of it all, just like I ignored my ex girlfriend at the time’s crazy b/c she had really great tits.

You literally repeated the hypothetical again…

Does Rhule deserve a year 4?

I think it’s humorous that’s the one thing you point out, when it wasn’t the purpose of the post.

Bo’s floor was well established. He didn’t get fired bc of his floor - he was fired bc of his ceiling and his sociopathic behavior

Yes. Back to back bowl games after a decade drought earns that.

But this year was stagnant so he definitely needs to do more next year. Just getting a bowl game invite isn't going to cut it.

But in reality, the AD isn't firing him next year barring scandal or total collapse. We're hitched to MR for a while so better hope he can Hoiberg up

I’d say these are the things you need to evaluate the health of a program on:

• Culture - Is the team together and fighting for each other.
• Talent - do we have good players but also do we have the ability to acquire and retain talent
• Scheme - do we know how to attack our opponent.
• Alignment - 1) does our talent match our scheme and culture. 2) do we have support from the top down or do we feel like we’re out on an island. 3) Are the fans/boosters bought in.

I’m sure there are more things, and sub categories to this but those are my Saturday morning thoughts.

For Bo, I think he always had good culture within the walls of the program, but he was never able to acquire talent, so as the talent he was gifted dried up, his results suffered. I also think his scheme was wishy washy over the years. Couldn’t get the good offenses and defenses playing at the same time except for 2010. And the program certainly lacked alignment. The tenure report card for Bo would have been something like

Culture - A-
Talent - B (started at an A and dropped to a C+)
Scheme - B
Alignment - D (he was an adversary of the fans and the university)

Take that to Frost, I’m not sure what he actually did well here.
Culture - D
Talent - C- (couldn’t hold onto anyone)
Scheme - C+
Alignment - D+ (he was gifted support)

Riley
Culture - C+ (the players liked him but they got away with everything and had no accountability to the team)
Talent - B
Scheme - B-
Alignment - D+

Third year check-in with Rhule
Culture - B- (I felt that he’s building good culture however the past two games are telling me something else is going on the team is dealing with. Letting both games get out of hand is worrisome.)
Talent - B (very comparable to Riley in acquisition to date. reason to be optimistic here, though.)
Scheme - C+ (White was a good hire. Holgo seemed like it would be. But there are a lot of things to question in our ability to game plan)
Alignment - B+ (It feels like this is where he’s spent a lot of time. It would be an A if not for the fans having turned on him already.).

Bo was a trailblazer at Nebraska. Poor recruiting and shitting your pants on the biggest stages started with him really.
