Ok....enough with the games...you are kind of dragging us along here...oh great one...lol. Fess up with what the word is now please...

That don't mean that they won't feel the pressure to resign....that way it looks as if it were their idea, not TO or the University. Nobody wants to be where they are not wanted. You can bet that there are some negotiations going on as we speak. No matter what you say, BC has handled all of this with some class, he is not lashing back at the nay sayers. He knows he is on his way out, and he is probably trying to take the best face saving way to do it. Can you blame the guy? I am surprised that Cosgrove hasn't fallen on the sword to try to save BC in a way...but then you don't really know what his personal situation is either, or if this thing is being negotiated as a group deal. There is a lot we don't know, and probably some that we will never know. As far as new coaches...that is totally up in the air too. Be careful what you wish for...I remember when BC was brought in there was those that thought he was the mesiah that was going to lead us into the future from the old style of football that had always been played at Nebraska and was seemingly falling to the wayside in its effectiveness. I really wish people would quit getting so personal with these guys. They came in here thinking, as we all did, that they could make their program work...but I don't think they really realized that they are dealing with kids, not pro's. So then they had to immediately "dumb" the program down some, but probably still had too much in the play book. They are also having to deal with the reality of limitations on scholarships, which is bringing the parity that everyone so desired but the big boys in college football. How many of these big boys have lost to schools that were "give me's" only a few years ago. These smaller schools are now getting more talent, because the big schools cannot give everyone a scholarship, and most of these kids can't afford to go to a big university, especially if it is out of state. There is a lot going on...and I will be the first to tell you right now, that no matter who they bring in, things will NEVER be like they were in the glory days...parity took care of that for everyone. If Nebraska is going to keep it's tradition, we better start getting behind the players and the coaches, even when there are hard times, like it or not. We will have seasons where we may barely play .500 ball, and there may even come a time when we won't even make that mark. So, will everyone just jump on the bandwagon and yell for the coaches head, or the QB to be benched? If you are true Husker fan, you will give them some rope. I believe that BC and crew have been given opportunity to implement the program they believed in...and it failed...for the reasons stated above. It is obvious that the Husker Nation is not willing to give any more latitude to this group of coaches...therefore the only thing to do is get rid of them. How much time will we be willing to give the next coach? If we keep sending them down the road when we have what some schools accept for a good year (ala Solich) we will not find many quality people that want to take a chance on ruining their career with a fan base that is so fickle or boosters that demand so much control over the program for a few bucks. There are a lot of problems here that if the University and TO don't address immediately in the right ways, the next coach, whoever they are is destined to fail, no matter what the talent is that is recruited in. Remember....you are dealing with young kids here...most of which will never see even camp for an NFL team. Kids lack good judgement sometimes...they get lazy at others...and they need a lot of motivation. If the coaches are not motivated, or have a good work ethic, or demonstrate good judgement, how can we expect these kids to do it? Everyone needs to take a step back and take a deep breath...and knock off all the personal attacks. We still have some of the season to play, and a responsibility to support this team. If you can't do that, you are not a true Husker fan...you are only a fair weather fan.

weren't there rumors w/fs screwing around w/a student? besides, the bars close early in lincoln and they are no smoking!

TO said that he would be meeting with the coaching staff, but that he would not be looking over their shoulders. He also said he would attend practice if asked, or stay away if asked to do so... What do you think BC will do in respect to this statement made by TO?

Hey Frisco....you never seen me coach...I would have them allowing 1500 yards a game

I hope that your right....we have got to remember that these kids that have been recruited are watching all of this.

Lol...that is one way to take all this. But even if TO was no where to be found, we would still soldier on, may take a little longer, but we would. There is no guarentee that TO can fix this mess, I don't look at him as the mesiah by no means. In fact, if he was looking to protect his legacy, he would have never taken this job. I hope people remember that if it don't get better any time soon. Maybe God is a Husker fan though...you never know.

Too many walk ons take up practice time and facilities...need to keep it to a manageable number.

I hope that the fans won't let their anger with Callahan ruin the visits of these kids...we still need to support the team, and remember that we have to move on and have a team even after this year. I know it seems right now that even being bowl eligible is a long shot, but we are only 2 games away from it...it would be nice to be able to make one, and there is still a chance.

ESPN is calling this weekends game between Nebraska and A&M the buyout bowl, where the winner feels mildly better, and the loser feels terrible. Too bad we can't set up the rail outside the stadium so we could run the loser out of town on the rail....lol.

this is all speculation....we have no idea where we are going...

I just hope that some of the other QB's get some playing time, so someone will have some experience before the Spring Game. I think BC is so tied to his boy, that he is not going to do anything but let him run up his numbers so to make BC look good in retrospect....this is NOT good....

Nobody is going anywhere unless they resign....

In other words...Callahan is safe until the end of the year....

There is NO reason to make this a personal thing with BC...he came thinking he could do something here, not with the intention of taking down the program. I guess the people throwing stones now that he is down have never done anything that didn't go right??????

I heard through several blogs that there is a lot of information out there that it will be an Osborne/Rimmington shared position...then I think Osborne will probably step back and let Rim have it.
