Redout

While we constantly hear of the one or 2 examples of NFL coaches doing well in college, there have been many NFL coaches/assistants fail in college. Likewise, college coaches fail in the NFL (ie. Steve Spurrier). In a way, the same goes for basketball. Everyone talks about Larry Brown, but many have failed on one level and succeeded on another. Is the college game different because of passion and tradition and the weekly must win? When an NFL staff runs an NFL team, they make changes and seem to be patient, regardless of wins and losses. It is more of a business or profession. What they do today is a plan or strategy that will pay out in a few years. In college I see more excitement, more personal involvement, more live or die week by week (in terms of coaches). Could part of the problem of Callahan and Co. be that they simply are approaching Saturdays in a similar fashion to how they handled Sundays in the NFL? Before you jump on that, the team has no fire (we all agree). Callahan does not get in anyone's face, I mean seriously get in anyone's face. He takes losses rather well, too well. In fact, it seems like he always thinks he has another week to adjust. I just can't help to think that a lot of it is how the NFL staffs approach their games and their strategy. In the NFL you are in 1 of 3 spots) 1. rebuilding, 2. trying to make the playoffs or 3. win it all. I just don't know if Callahan and Co. see things with the same sense of urgency this year and the die-hard Husker fan.

In an upset..... NU 27 MU 17 rush 210 pass 154

Nebraska High schools are just so far behind now. Nobody throws the ball in this state. Horne was considered a 4 star recruit look how he turned out. Compare any Nebraska HS football to those big states and we would get killed

He also made metion that it appears we have lost Rey Malaugu (sp). He is really leaning toward Oregon. NU may be out of the picture.

This was not an isolated incident. He has pulled junk like that before.

What's worse is he has to stay there until the end of the season. I could never understand that. If he isn't good enough to coach at your school, why keep him on. Isn't that admitting defeat

Question: Would it work at this point to take away the Blackshirts?? Pelini did last year. Or screw it.

Mizzou still. But if the Huskers win out only losing to OU, and KST loses one more, the Huskers i beleive will take the title. I think

Again another fan citing a lack of fire, emotion and a will to win as a down fall. I understand what your saying Wildcat fan, but this has been a recurring theme the whole season. This make or break game I thought was the KST game. Out of alll this, the Huskers are still in the hunt for the Big 12 North title. Just about every North team lost to the South today.

Any specifics??? As far as which plays, at what points? Well fellow Huskers, you know what this means....

i just think between missing all that time and being in the hospital he has missed toomuch time in the classroom and on the field

Could very well be the case.

I've seen him play and he can make plays. Big time arm

Yes, no fire, they don't care. You have to wonder if this goes back to the coaching changes. Are the players "revolting" somehow???? Davidson said that a few times during the game.

Nope, sorry eric, not even close.

Dailey hasn't shown any ability to make something happen on the offense in important games. Agree with the both of you. beck can throw better than Dailey and has that"pocket presence" you need. Daile y just isn't getting the job done.

What's worse is this is one of the poorer Wildcat defenses. These guys have been giving up yards and points to everyone. I guess you kind of figured they were going to break out against someone, might as well been the Huskers. Everyone else has.

Dailey, whoever, the hell we need some playmakers. His stats had to be complete horrible today. Take away the big plays and NU has nothing. I only hope that KST fans behave themselves. NU for that matter.

We get the QB we wanted, the backup, and he shreds us. Just a complete joke right now. I am so pissed off right now

Again another game and Herian is no where to be found. If he's open, Dailey over throws him or he drops the damn the thing He's been stuck on 23 receptions for weeks....no touchdowns

Couldn't agree more. Smoth did absolutly nothing in this game except miss tackles. How many times did we have them stopped only to have them break the tackle for yardage.

This is just making me want to puke. This could get very scary. There's a little over eight minutes left and Jackson just fumbled again on the kickoff and KST has it again. KST going to put up 60 points on us. Snyder wont quit and I don't blame him. He needs some recruiting push with this victory. Our defense is sucking wind right now. Just a disaster
