I’m not sure I agree with that. He had quite a bit of talent on the roster and his teams got pounded by anyone remotely similar in talent. He also inherited a roster with incredible talent on it and never had to build anything.Bo’s biggest issue is was recruiting, but his game management was solid because he coached the game as a defensive coach. Any points were a premium to him.
When you’re rebuilding a team, the margin for error is so small. All of that is relevant with how you make decisions and manage a game. Then factor in a ton of injuries.
I don’t want to derail the thread talking about Bo Pelini but I think he would’ve been awful if put in the same situation.
To circle back around, I DO think there’s a lot of room for improvement on Rhule’s clock management. I just don’t think Pelini could do better.
