[Husker] Follow up Comments on my "Hot Seat" Statement

[David Fernandez]

Maybe I'm way off here, I certainly don't want to say the coaches get a free pass in the first year of Big Ten play, but after seeing so many Big Ten games this season for the first time, I think as a fan perhaps Big Ten Championship thoughts were a wee bit too soon.

I take more of a look at the physical nature of play and the big ole boys on the O & D-Lines and say we have some recruiting to catch-up on.  I don't really think it's a one-year fix either, it may take 3-4 years to recruit that style of player for the Big Red to compete weekly in the Big Ten.  I just think Nebraska was put together for the speedy, quick, spread offenses of the Big 12 and that just didn't pan out well in the bigger Big Ten.

Question, will the fan base adjust to the style of play or blame the coaches for not adjusting quickly enough?  I think the conference switch nixes any hot seat talk for at least 2-years to see what they can bring in to adjust to the new conference.

Yesterday I commented on the status of the coach and whether or not he may be on the hot seat, to which one of our astute list members fired off this e-mail to me. I am choosing to forward this message to the list for a reason. You are welcome to comment and disagree with me on my opinion but the criticism (of me or my comments) just like my comments should be out in the open for the entire list to read.

It should be noted that my statement was in reply to someone else's comments I only made the following statement: "Lose to Iowa next week and he'll be on the hot seat before the bowl game."

So below are the comments of the list member (whom I do not know) and here is a link to an column that appeared in this morning's Omaha World Hearld that seems to be questioning what is going on down in Lincoln as well:

> The team didn't quit, they are kids that made a bunch of mistakes. And If you think Bo should be on the hot seat, why don't you go tell Osborne who to hire? Cause in your post there was no complaining and all answers, Right!! Why don't you follow Kansas or some other team. It is the few fans we have like you that make it tough to stay on this link. If they wouldn't have played so bad they could have won. You think the coaches and players were trying to make all those mistakes?  I guess we forgot how perfect you are in whatever you do.
