That's true. And let's be honest, Eichorst was hired by Perlman to fire Bo. So it really needed to be a different AD.Would've been interesting, but it seemed like Bo and Eichorst were just personally completely unable to connect whatsoever haha, just polar opposites who were bewildered by each other's very existence. Even if Eichorst gave Bo better resources, they still probably would have been side-eyeing each other the entire time. Bo was nuts in plenty of ways as we all know, but Eichorst was like an alien haha they were never going to work well together.
As a talking point, it's pretty interesting to me what he refused to give Bo. Bo asked him for "2 or 3 recruiting staffers to help with logistics" because Ross Els was our Linebacker Coach, Special Teams Coordinator, and Recruiting Coordinator. Think how thin we were running, and how much more efficient we could have been if Els was carrying all of those duties. Bo basically had Jamrog running special teams towards the end just to help take a load off Els. When Eichorst told him no, he had a meeting with boosters asking for help with private planes. Terry Joseph who had came from Tennessee was absolutely disgusted that he had to drive an hour to Omaha, get there early enough to go through TSA and fly Southwest to get to Texas or wherever and had burned 2.5 hours before takeoff. Where when he recruited for Tennessee he went to the local airport, plane left right when he got there, and it was a direct flight.
Longer story out there, but that's when we started getting more private jet access. Despite some of our coaches almost ruining the private jet situation a little bit prior to this.
