that sounds similar to a situation going on now

plus, i believe bo would fire anyone that was underperforming as a coach, unlike callahan so if someone wasn't holding up their end of the deal recruiting wise, i don't think he'd hesitate to let them go

i personally like the reBOrn, hope it gets printed

husker hounds in omaha have the same shirts

sounds like witt is all for competition, transferring to so many high schools was all about trying to find the best competition

imho, look for witt to transfer with ganz blooming and lee getting all those good remarks plus, if im not mistaken, didn't he play for 4 different high schools?

all quiet on the homefront

But after a 21-14 win Saturday over Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference title game and losses later by then-No. 1 Missouri and No. 2 West Virginia, LSU jumped to the second spot in the BCS standings Sunday. It will play Ohio State Jan. 7 the national title in New Orleans. http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1200...;u_sid=10199612

goes along with the bogasm idea

since we've paid $7-8 million in buyouts in terms of the ad, hc, and assistants, what will Pelini make? my guess is 4 years $5-6 million thoughts?

I would think not, because regents are an elected position, therefore they are out to get public recognition. If they get their name in the papers as knowing the coach, they get free publication all over the state. just my 16 cents

Published Friday | November 30, 2007 Big Red Breakfast: Offensive line coach defends his guys BY MITCH SHERMAN WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER Nebraska ran the football just four times all season — twice after the season-opening blowout of Nevada — on third down and 3. Click to Enlarge NU offensive line coach Dennis Wagner On third and 2, the Huskers called only 11 rushing plays. Dennis Wagner knows the numbers. The NU offensive line coach said today at the Big Red Breakfast he would have preferred a different approach. "I am going to defend my guys on that end and tell you that I think they can push people off the ball," said Wagner, who continues to recruit one week after the firing of coach Bill Callahan. "But they have to be asked to push people off the ball." His response drew applause at the Holiday Convention Centre. Wagner, a 49-year-old Waverly, Iowa, native whose coaching stops before Nebraska included Fresno State and UNLV, talked today of his respect for Callahan. Wagner said he's appreciated the opportunity to coach at Nebraska but that he didn't always agree with his boss. "He is the head coach," Wagner said. "If he says this is what you do, this is what you do. If you don't, then you have problems within your group. It isn't always that you want to do it that way, but it's the way you're supposed to do it. That's just part of doing the things you're asked to do by the person who hired you." In particular, Callahan's short-yardage play-calling didn't always sit well with Wagner. "I want to hit somebody in the mouth before I sit off and protect with my hands," he said. NU rushed the ball 34.8 times per game in finishing 5-7 this fall for an average of 4.2 yards per carry and 144.4 per game to rank eighth in the Big 12. The numbers were down from 39.5 attempts, 4.3 yards per carry and 173.5 yards per game in 2006. As for Callahan, Wagner said: "The man is very smart as a football coach. No one can take that away from him." Wagner said he would benefit from coaching under Callahan, be it at Nebraska or another school. The fourth-year assistant said he hopes to remain on staff after a new coach is hired. He devoted much of his 45-minute talk today to recruiting. NU continues to communicate with its 22 oral commitments and other prospects as Interim Athletic Director Tom Osborne searches for a new coach. Osborne joined the recruiting effort this week, visiting two Omaha schools Thursday. He was scheduled to make stops today in Kansas and Missouri. "You just keep talking to them about what Nebraska can do for them," Wagner said. "I want guys who want to be here. If I have to convince them to be here, that's probably not a good thing." Wagner told of his recent visit to a recruit long committed to Nebraska. Wagner said he entered the high school gym to find coaches from Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas awaiting time with the prospect. "All of a sudden, it's like there's a deal animal on the prairie and the birds are circling," Wagner said, drawing laughter. "I tell him to not make any moves until you know what's going on here. The guy chose Nebraska because of Nebraska. He's already seen those schools that were in the gym, so what's to say they're different?" ? * * * Wagner hopes Luck will stay Nebraska assistant coach Dennis Wagner said today he hoped junior I-back Marlon Lucky would pick Nebraska next year over the NFL. Lucky said this week he had no plans to enter the draft. But with the January deadline approaching, clearly Lucky is considering his options. He rushed for 1,019 yards and caught a school-record 75 passes this year. "Every kid's dream is to be an NFL player," Wagner said, "and if it wasn't we wouldn't want them here. That's a driving force. But it should be their dream to get an education. "In today's world with all the media, the more you read about yourself, you hear how good you are, what you can do, where you're going to get drafted, how much money you can make, that's an outside influence. Hopefully, when the new coach gets here, he'll sit down with Marlon and sway him toward being here." Senior I-back Kenny Wilson, who redshirted after suffering a fractured femur while carrying a television in March, appears recovered and ready to play next year, Wagner said. Big Red Breakfast

It already does Don't they still have Wannstedt as the football coach? Didn't Pederson want to hire him before he went through his hiring mess? Does that mean we do not have to pay all of Pederson's buyout? he's already been paid i believe, its not an ongoing contract like the assistant coaches his buyout was due within 30? days of his firing going off memory, so that's just what i remember

i wouldn't say his only failure was football, he was tearing down the athletic department rather quickly most of the other sports were there before he got here, so can we really give him credit for something byrne set up for him?

Mark May, that's a name that will get a good response from any nebraska fan and when i say good, i mean plentiful

so he did a good job before, he's unsuccessful when he leaves, he comes back, as a pitt fan, are you happy, hesitant, or scared for the future?

he did do some pretty good things there for them, im not surprised they would want him back interesting thing with the whole #1 option in terms of dave w.

just finished my soil content test, results to be announced in a press conference wednesday

my guess is they go where they can't be seen, attempt to be secretive, matt perrault will proclaim he was there to see it all, and travis justice will report it as fact o wait, that was 2 weeks ago, my bad on the topic of defenses and tigerdroppings message board bashing pelini, id take allowing 50 pts in 4 ots to mcfadden and co. over 65 in regulation to a (insert name here) and co.

thats good so im really bored, and noticed that the plane is scheduled to land at 8:52, and depart at 8:45, (7 mins before) for norfolk wonder how many people deplane

Turns out, it was likely just a coincidence. Hawks' company, Tenaska Inc., owns an energy generating station in Georgia. The five men who deplaned in Atlanta during a rainstorm appeared unconnected to Nebraska's search. Hawks did not return phone messages. Omaha.com thought id end the speculation about 2 planes

Pelini/Gill 28th

T.O. should have made him walk home, a step for every dollar he walks away with wasn't it a university vehicle anyway?

the offensive line will be a complete overhaul b/c it will take years for the new coaching staff to undo the stupid sh*t they've been taught the past 4 years

if the big 12 gets 2 bcs, best case scenario is alamo if big 12 gets only 1 bcs, shreveport, la for the independence will be calling -we played eli the last time we were there this was discussed the other day on espn college football live b/c the big 12 has so many bowl teams
