[Husker] coach of the year

[gzimmerman at everestkc.net]

You're putting words in my mouth, Ken. Bo has done a pretty good job of righting the 'Good Ship Nebraska'. But I don't think that job is worthy of national Coach of the Year.

I'm hopeful that he will continue to improve and earn that title.
