Coach Tuz

Actually, I played football my entire life in Omaha and then attended College and did same. Have been in the military the last 18 years, got out and coached high school football in Connecticut. Boy, are they light years away from what I learned in weightlifting 25 plus years ago. Been a weightlifting/conditioning coordinator, train high school athletes, and our nations military men/women. I do not claim to know everything, but I have played, watched, and coached football since I could walk and on that note, I can say a few intelligent things about the game with some accuracy Sir.

I can see that those who haven't the foresight to look ahead to next year and consider the potentially disastrous season before us, do not really have the football acumen to look at the coaching staff for what it is. We have as yet to see a West Coast Offense, the defense went from leading the country in sacks to a dismal showing this year, and the special teams is nothing to brag about either. This team has not beaten a top ten opponent since 2001, a flat second half in more games then I care to remember, and gambling at moments in the game without regard to the consequences of the teams momentum. Next year, we possibly could have to meet 5 top 25 opponents and two tens in the first three weeks of the season. All the bragging in the world by the players will not help them when the potential number one team USC comes to town with a Heisman Trophy candidate in Josh Booty and Jarrett at wide receiver. All of you who think this team is headed in the right direction will get a quick taste of foot in mouth about this coaching staff come September next year, especially if Callahan decides to call the game the same way he did at USC this year. I will take the ridicule for my posts and replys, but do not forget me next season when the truth appears. And if by some miracle I prove to be wrong, I shall take my lumps with humility, because I'm hoping to have to, it would mean that the program is actually headed back to where it should be.

I totally agree!! When will the true Husker fans realize that this guy is not the saving grace to lead the Cornhuskers back to National prominence. I have been watching this team for over 35 years and let me say that regardless of his recruiting prowess, his play calling is atrocious when it comes to getting his team psyched up for the big plays that win against quality opponents. Regardless of the steps we have made in the last three years, we still have as yet to beat a top ten opponent that would point to heading in the right direction. This West Coast Offense has not appeared, directly noticed by many announcers of Nebraska games wondering when he will unleash the passing game with the quality receivers he has recruited but seldom used during his tenure. It's amazing that recruits can watch this team and still feel as though it is headed back to the National Championship contention. Wait till next year is only going to last so long before someone hopefully finally wakes up and realizes this guy is not the one to put us back on the map of feared opponents.
