@@obeyreplay649 Agreed. The problem is exactly what Will Compton said. They were playing not to mess up, not playing to win. And that's why he could never finish. (Texas Big 12 Championship for one of many examples)
I do miss Bo and Carl as a fan. Most entertaining and passionate sideline. I remember cotton getting his balls pinched vs T&AM and in that crazy ass like 9-7 game i think was the final but bo was going ape that whole game got like 3 sideline flags lol.. 😅
Funny how Coach Bo and the Media had this toxic relationship but yet I have YET TO HEAR ONE OF HIS PLAYERS ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE SAY THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A BULLET FOR THAT GUY !
Well now. This is EXACTLY why Bo Pelini was fired from Nebraska with a 9-win/season average. He was so bad this way, his firing was DESPITE his 9-win seasons. Of course, didn't help that his teams would get EPIC BLOWN OUT at least once every year. Wisky one time had 600 yards rushing against a Pelini team. That's a team who's players quit on the a-hole coach. Tell ya what. I'm a Husker fan to the death. But if I had a boy, junior in HS being recruited by Pelini, I would "strongly advise" him to take his official visits to other places. I like what I'm seeing so far in Matt Rhule and his staff.
@Patrick I listened to all of it. That kind of massive swearing and literally abuse is not Nebraska. The outcome of 1 player justifies nothing. I repeat, as a die hard husker, I would not have sent my son there while Pelini was coaching. I would send my son there under Matt Rhule.
The record against ranked teams at NU, the record at YSU, and the 2nd stint at LSU tells the world what it needs to know about how good a coach he was. If he wasn't screaming and spitting he didn't know what to do. Urban and Bielema made him look like a middle school coach.
I have often thought about Bo and Carl even saw the "Bussin with the Boys" episode with Bo and I have wondered many times since then where they are and what they are doing today ?
Husker fans also forget thr fact that any big game we would have and we would get embarrassed. If Bo was that good of coach then we should have at least one conference championship but nope we choke.
@@connarhackbart4069 I mean, he wasn’t Osborne, but 66/28 in 7 years is far better than 43/63 in 10 years. He won at least 9 games every season. Winning at least 9 games now is a miracle. If fact it’s only happened once since Pelini was fired.
@Stumme-40203 well obviously you can tell that. But if we kept with Bo we'd be right we're Iowa is. Mediocre...the hiring of Mike Riley was a terrible since he was just hired because he was the opposite of Bo. But at least that shows we have high expectations for this program then to just settle like Iowa is. Again let's not act like Bo was gonna take us to the national championship game he proved he couldn't make adjustments and when he would get called out for it he would throw a fit like a toddler
It was time for him to go. Couldn’t win the big time games. Steve pedersons ego got in the way though and we fired him without having a plan to move forward.
@@JamesWilson-tm8vt Frank had a hall-of-fame coaching career after leaving Nebraska. Bo Pelini completely fell off the map other than the one season as the worst defensive coordinator in the nation.
@@JamesWilson-tm8vt Bo's best years were with Callahan recruits. Solich took Ohio from the dumpster to a respectable program and 15 years of success. He became the winningest coach in MAC history.
Will did great. He played well for us and played for a long time in the NFL. He speaks well of the program and is to this day a die hard fan. Honestly, there isn't much more you can ask of a player.
I could listen to these stories all day😂
I miss Bo… it’s kinda funny to see him explode on the sideline every time. GBR!
Yeah, especially when they lost 38-9 to KState and Bill Snyder.
Just an angry Italian 😂
I don't miss him at all. Glad we actually have what appears to be a good all around coach!

@@jacobfuller9532 and that's exactly how they looked every big game!

that's honestly the only thing I remember ben cotton for. that's not a knock on him, he was a good player, but that was an ass chewing for the ages
Don't miss him at all!!
Thanks for the stories. Loved watching the Blackshirts during your time as a Husker.
Definately miss BO. I served 28 yrs in the military, seen his type. I know he's real. 👍
Bo was the only coach to put the Huskers on the map since the Eric crouch days…..
Yeah I remember any big game we were in and we would never show up. He needed to be fired but Riley was a terrible hire
Couldn’t win the big time games to get us over the 9 or 10 win hump.
@@RainbowManificationNo one has since Osborne.
Definitely not on the map unless you're talking unsuspecting blowouts. He should have stayed at Youngstown that was his level.
Funny how Coach Bo and the Media had this toxic relationship but yet I have YET TO HEAR ONE OF HIS PLAYERS ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE SAY THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A BULLET FOR THAT GUY !
Holy shit I’m dying 😂
My nephew Niles played for Bo as well and would tell me the stories like this.
Nice of u to have theo vonns son on the pod
Miss Bo!
Well, that’s what got him fired his big mouth. It’s hard to believe he was a educated man, the guy never stopped to think before he spoke.
Pelini had no self control.
W interview
Pelini teams Wining records and NFL draft pics….
😔 those were the days Eric crouch days then nothing then Bo then nothing again
And huge blowouts to big underdogs.

Did you actually listen to the end? He said he would take a bullet for the man

You’re soft. All of his players would’ve ran through a wall for him.
@wyatt hamsa Irrelevant.
He lost the fans.
Too many embarrassing epic blowouts.
Too much spitting in player's faces. On TV.
Too much BS

clearly Bo had reflections on his tirades, which means he wasnt as bad a dude as the media made him out to be.
Love the pelinis
I have often thought about Bo and Carl even saw the "Bussin with the Boys" episode with Bo and I have wondered many times since then where they are and what they are doing today ?
Never cared for them. Glad they fired him but did it a year late
@@IRONHORSE427RACINGhe got retired after the lsu embarrassment.
Never should have fired him. That cursed the Huskers.
They had to. Listening to that kind of behavior by giving up a td in trash time? Glad he’s out.

Yeah, not exactly an apology….perhaps coach needs to learn how to treat people better.
Bo is still the BEST coach since TO; hands down.
Solich would like to have a word
Not better than Solich, and I think Rhule will have something to say about this as well.
@@ksumrz better than solich too, because no built his own team instead of a baton handoff

Carl was a horrible coach and not much better as a person
Will wasnt that good ,So i ask why we should listen to him! Too many games that he sucked at!
What the hell did u just type. Try specifying subject next time monki
Shutup
