Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread

[mocat]

i don't know. Bo lost the last 6 straight games vs ranked teams. He was 1-9 in his last 10 games vs ranked teams dating back to 2011 (the lone win came vs #20 Michigan in 2012).
since 2010 Bo is 3-12 vs ranked teams. in his tenure at Nebraska he is 7-17 vs ranked teams. that has to be the #1 reason he was fired, right? also it's not like he never lost to bad teams. he was terrible vs ranked teams, and also lost to bad teams enough to get fired.

[mocat]

Prince got fired yes for sucking but if you want to pick out one specific thing, it's because he went 0-9 vs NU/MU/KU. i think if you want to find one specific thing about Bo, it's 1-9 in his last 10 vs ranked teams. unacceptable.

[mocat]

^ IMO to all of that

most coaches have bad records against ranked teams. I don't think 7-17 is that bad. What's Snyder's record against ranked teams since 2010?

[Cartierfor3]

And in those Bo losses to ranked teams he regularly lost like 200-3. Greatest fans DESERVE BETTER! 

[MadCat]

I think Bo was trying to balance his hate of Nebraska fans with his love of not getting fired.

And even if he deserved to get fired, it's incredibly dumb to suggest 9 wins is some kind of ceiling Bo can never surpass when he's never won fewer than 9 games.

Nice.

I also enjoyed the use of Christmasy colors.

[mocat]

you can see that a magical season like Bill's 2012 would have done Bo some good. i mean NU played 2 ranked teams in all of 2013 and only went 9-4.

[meow meow]

in Bo's losses the average score was 43-24 

[mocat]

also i was too lazy to go back and figure out which teams finished ranked/unranked, but i'm sure it's a wash between Bo's and Bill's opponents

[MixBerryCrunch]

Bo is no Bill. That's for sure.  I would think a lot of coaches could do a similar job to Bo given all of the resources and support Nebraska has while also being in one of the weakest divisions in college football.

one last thing:

losses to unranked teams since 2011

Bo
2011 vs Northwestern L 25-28
2012 @ UCLA L 30-36
2012 vs Wisconsin L 31-70*
2013 @ Minnesota L 23-34
2013 vs Iowa L 17-38

Bill
2012 vs Baylor L 24-52
2013 vs ND State L 21-24
2013 @ Texas L 21-31

[Demo158]

It was Bo's time to go. Nobody in that state was behind him anymore and their fans/donors expectations are ridiculously high. That being said, I think they royally mumped up with the replacement hire, and 2-3 years from now I bet Bo's tenure at Nubb will be looked at more favorably than it is now.

Every time that NDSU loss is brought up it just looks worse and worse.  It's gotta be one of the top five losses, if not the worst loss of LHCBS's career.

Still want to vomit when I see That baylor score line

I'd have to go back and look at some of the rankings for NU, but from a F/+ ranking perspective, but Baylor was a loss to the #30 ranked team at home in '12, @Texas was the #34 ranked team per F/+, and if you look at Sagarin ratings that combine both FBS and FCS teams in one bracket, NDSU was the #17 team in the nation last year.

So, really, those were all somewhat respectable losses if you take those rankings seriously.  Even NDSU.

[Panjandrum]

Every time that NDSU loss is brought up it just looks worse and worse.  It's gotta be one of the top five losses, if not the worst loss of LHCBS's career.

Except when you look at actual ratings that combine FBS and FCS competition, NDSU was a Top 25 team last year.

We can get mad about that loss, and we honestly should because we had it won, but it's not like they're South Dakota State or anything.  NDSU probably could have won the Mountain West, or at least competed, in the last few years.

for reference, here's what some other B12/big 10 coaches (who have coached the same team in the same conference since at least 2011) have done in the same span:

Bill: 7-10 vs ranked, 31-3 vs unranked, 38-13 overall
Briles 9-6 vs ranked, 31-5 vs unranked, 40-11 overall
Stoops 9-9 vs ranked, 30-3 vs unranked, 39-12 overall
Gundy 10-10 vs ranked, 26-5 vs unranked, 36-15 overall
Rhoads 3-17 vs ranked, 14-16 vs unranked, 17-33 overall

Bo: 3-10 vs ranked, 34-5 vs unranked, 37-15 overall
Kill: 2-11 vs ranked, 23-14 vs unranked, 25-25 overall
D'Antonio: 8-9 vs ranked, 33-3 vs unranked, 41-12 overall
Ferentz: 1-9 vs ranked, 25-15 vs unranked, 26-24 overall
Fitzgerald: 3-6 vs ranked, 23-18 vs unkranked, 26-24 overall

amazing how shitty the big 10 is. for example in 2012, Northwestern did not play a single ranked team (including their bowl game!)
