I have to think Bo has next year to at least get to the Big Ten Championship or hes done as well. The last few years have not been great relative to their standards

He might bail out due to his own self-explosion, but Osborne will not force him out for at least another 5 years. The primary reason is that Osborne has too big of a ego to ever admit that he made the wrong hire when he hand picked Pelini. The other reason is that Osborne well remembers all of the heat that he took during his first 10-15 years when he almost always came up short against Oklahoma. He will stand behind Bo as long as he continues to have a winning record and at least ends up in a middle of the pack bowl game.
The game changers would be if Bo either gets brought down by a scandal or fails to stay in line with Osborne's directives to keep his volatile temper somewhat in check. There would also be quite a bit of tolerance on a scandal given Osborne's track record in that area.

Bo also allows Osborne to be a part of the program and have input. Plus Osborne is smarter than Bo. Bo is also a nice fit at Neb and respects its past.
