How many high school QBs are lining up to run the option? How many NFL teams that they may aspire to play for run that offense? 15 years ago it was a lot easier to find a Tommie Frazier, Scott Frost, Eric Crouch, or even Steve Taylor. It still starts with the QB--but it's a question of the type of QB. It's a lot easier nowadays to find one that can throw the ball than run a 4.5 40.

Wow. He may have been caught snooping at some stuff he shouldn't have 15 years ago while he was a low-ranking assistant....maybe-- if the brother of someone's girlfriend's cousin has it right.

insanity is to keep supporting and buying the same crappy product. I will continue to wear my husker gear with pride, and will watch the games, and be happy to be a husker fan...but I refuse to pay over $100 to get in the door (not including parking, food, etc) to see them lose to mediocre teams.

Maybe if they went w/out selling out a game it'd send a message. If anything it'd maybe make them drop prices a bit so I could actually afford to take my kid to a game.

Nah...these guys will get a shot at the pros. Just like the last few years...we'll all be wondering why, if the pros like 'em so much, they didn't produce here.

the defense will get the rejects that aren't athletic enough to play offense.

lame....didn't even have the stone to throw a hail mary

that 5 yards hurts

nice play

Quick, someone start Firepetecarrol.com... so pedey can hire him?

that's the a$$ that made the statement about wanting to beat NU by 3 touchdowns. It was a cheap shot, and personal.

http://soonersports.com/school-bio/brent_venables.html the guy looks capable and knows how to run a defense. I'd be happy with that. Only question is if BC has the stones to can his friend.

I think he gets enough comparisons to Devaney or TO w/out him bringing them up. But he maybe could have mentioned how Solich ended TO's dynasty...

The guy has had a hard few months. I hope he just does what he needs to do, but I agree that I selfishly hope to see him out there. Hopefully the team (and the fans) can rally around him and let him know he's got people that care about him.

Whoa...um...there were quite a few folks in the mix. Houston Nutt, Sean Peyton, Bo Pelini, Turner Gill--all of them were either approached and/or interviewed for the job. Honestly, I was hoping that they would have hired Turner Gill, but I was happy with the Callahan hire. I didn't see why they would have went after Nutt, and considering Bo's past (never stayed more than two years w/a team, if I recall correctly), I was more than hesitant to give the reigns to Bo (though I would had liked him to stay on as DC...especially now.) I'm not sure how anyone can say they'd rather have had Wanny. After what he did to my beloved Bears, it would have taken decades to recover from what he'd have done to NU's program. Pellini? He just wasn't ready to be a HC at the time. Other teams have interviewed and turned him down as well since then, I believe. I'd have loved to see him stay on as DC. I still wish BC would ditch cosgrove and bring him back. But I don't see it happening. I also doubt Turner Gill was ready to be a HC. Maybe in a few years...well, that'd be different.
