The all white was UUUUUGLY!

Just wanted to add a link: http://www.action3news.com/Global/story.as...p;nav=menu550_2

So we hire a person because it would "mend smoldering bridges" with an old fart with money who publically threw a temper tatrum like a 3 year old? Not hardly! Nope that isn't what I said or at least you misunderstood. Let me put it like this, 10 ex players walk into the office & say "we like Turner, please consider him"...that carries weight, 5 BIG money boosters walk into his office & say the same thing...well that carries even more weight. He will not make a decision nor should he because Cook says so, I think that's more than obvious (Pedey) but say a week from now Toms looking at Turner & Bo & it's a dead lock he will reflect on what ex players, coaches, regents, & boosters have to say...at least in his mind. Maybe I'm full of BS but why do people of importance have advisers?

I disagree 100%, no way no how was Cally gonna stay once Osborne took the title, I think it was a done deal early---weeks ago. Today was smoke & mirrors, political jargin. Tom is not a liar BUT he is & was being politically correct which is fine by me. People, it's just not always black & white and I feel sorry for you if you think it is. He does not have to answer to any of us and he can spin this anyways he feels is best for the University...simple as that. To blow your mind even more, I'd bet my left arm that THERE HAVE been talks with potential new HC's. Neither you know or I will ever know that but it's 2007--not everything is always what it seems.

The 10/11 news stated at 7 (among other things) that Cook, while not happy would throw his support to Pelini. Read into that what you want BUT IMO as upset as he was over Pedey this "support" might carry some heavy weight as they try to mend those smoldering bridges. I agree with many many posters, this is gonna come down to Turner & Bo, my gut tells me Bo is ready and can lead us back to the promised land....I respect the hell out of Turner though. Tough call unlike the decision he made on Cally.

In my opinion, those "conditions" was all smoke--politician talk. This has been a done deal for some time, in a perfect world everything is always black & white but this isn't a perfect world. It's also my opinion that there have been previous talks with potential new HC's--I'm not calling Tom a liar, just politically correct (which is fine by me).

There are those on this board (and others) that consistently talk out of both sides of their mouth....the support Cally crap for the past 2 weeks was just that-CRAP. Funny though, some of those same posters were casting stones after the KS blowout & reversed directions after KSU...pretty shallow! Give me a break in deed!

He's been a cancer this entire year. I can't remember the stupid qoute he had back ater the Ball State game but it showed his heart wasn't into it anymore.

All right, I'll meet you half way. I think were all alittle testy this evening. Apology accepted & I'll offer the same as well.

Of course roids happen, heck their in High schools all across the country. I won't pretend to know what he did personally...whether he made right choice or not but he is entitled to his opinion---I'd say he earned it as well as the chance to straighten out his life. I take offense when people come down on players for the pain killer thing, coaches, trainers & doctors are as much to blame as anybody especially in the NFL. That's another subject for another day I guess. By the way, I as well was close to the program at one time...several of my very good friends played on the team, heck I even hung around with a starting quarterback for over a year (often, our girlfriends were best friends). I guess we have soemthing in common huh? Next subject?

HANC, you ever play the game outside of high school? I could give .02 less if you coach. Let me tell you this much, I've had my knees operated on 6 times, shoulder x 1 and elbow x 1 for this sport. When you take cordozone shots to be able to practice & have joints drained every other day it get's pretty damn easy to rely on pain killers to keep playing the game you love. I don't typically take stuff personal but your in territory that I doubt you know much about. By the way, I DID NOT play for the Huskers just to be clear. Whatever, I'm done with you!

Absolutely, just having blind faith & support does no good at all. I dunno, there's leaders & then there's followers in this world...JP is and was a leader and he's got as much Husker God given right to serve his opinion as anyone else. If you don't want to hear the bashing then turn it off cus' your likely in the minority.

Were not going to a bowl game (2 out of 4 years), you do know that don't you? HE IS THE HEAD COACH...IT HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH! If your so in love with the offense than put up an argument to keep Watson otherwise everything else you mentioned is baseless nonsense.

Cosgrove is there because of Callahan, who is accountable for the whole program. We don't need at least one more season of mismanagement, embarrassment and collapse. In addition, the offense didn't show up at all against Missouri, Okie State or A&M, when this season fell apart. Callahan has insulted Nebraskans, degraded the walk-on program, trashed our traditions -- and failed to even clear the ridiculously low bar to qualify for a bowl in half of his seasons. If he is given another year, I'll cheer for the Huskers, I'll make my annual pilgrimage home to see a game in person, I'll try to boost my optimism. But I will be demoralized if he's not gone. AMEN, I couldn't have said that any better myself.

Go away

Puke & then decide if I will allow myself to be dissapointed again. It's kinda like being cheated on, why do people always go back for more when they know their with a loser? I'm a firm believer that Osborne will tarnish his own reputation by keeping him...I think we all forget that prior to the 1st National Championship, during all the OKIE losses people were calling for his head. I gotta believe he's smarter than that. I'm already a big supporter of UNO & next year my kid will be a true fresham on a GPAC team so that'll be my sole focus I guess.

All you Callahan supporters PLEASE rise & take your lashing!!!! The K-State blow out does't feel so good anymore does it?

Honestly, I think I'm more ticked that we had to read all that crap the last 2 weeks about how we should consider keeping Cally because we blew out K-State....whoopdie do All of you Cally supporters need to come back on now & take your medicine! 65-51, good golly that'd make a baseketball team proud!

Still want him Back! Take a look at the score...enjoy the bowl game, oh wait a minute!

Make it 58! Where's all the Cally supporters now? Let me see, a whooping 8 points with this awesome WCO in the 2nd half. Does that blow out we handed K-State still make you feel all warm & fuzzy inside or does thing bring back alittle reality of what the years really been like? 4 seasons & 2 were under .500! You rock Bill...4 MORE YEARS, 4 MORE YEARS, 4 MORE YEARS!!!!!! cis boom bah pathetic

UGLY plus they make us look slow....oh wait a minute....we are slow (especially on D).

AND, this is why this staff is gone tomorrow! Cally is accountable for his staff & Cosgrove is the most pathetic DC in the game. His pure unadaltered stubborness as a leader is just beyong logic. 38 points in 2 1/2 quarters by a crap Buffs Team, I'm sorry but we suck. Oh yeah, no excuses...."but the offense threw 2 turnovers" blah blah blah. SUCK IT UP!

I can't believe there's posters now asking "who do you think Callahan will hire as his assistants?" OMG This board kinda reminds me of of the blind leading the blind to the new flav of the day! How do you like your crow prepared? The thing that irks me the most is how people can be so stubborn..."Osborne said, nothing will happen til' the end of the season" blah blah blah Folks he'd have to be downright stupid not to have set everything in motion from the day he took the interim title. College football is volitile and to use the old phrase it's "dog eat dog". He's been analyzing Callahan since the day Cally took the job...why wouldn't he? After all the years he spent in the program I'd be niave to think he didn't/does play out a ton of different scenerios of what could happen...should happen...what I'd do. Don't think for second he doesn't pay attention to the pulse of the fans, not necessarily these boards but people walking out of the stadium speaks volumes. We are the ones who've kept the sellout record going and were the ones that travel on our dime. You better believe he listens! If Cally stays, Osborne status of "God" will be severely tarnished and it might well be armegeddon in Husker Nation. Let me remind you as well that Tom was a politician and just cus' there isn't a flippin' press conference evertime he picks up the phone doesn't mean nothing is going on outside of "evaluating the staff". I dunno, it's hard for me to put into words....you just have to read between the lines alittle! He's gone, I have no sources but when all things are considered it's the right decision for the state of Husker Nation. Blast away but save an appetite...mmmmm grilled crow!

I gotta go along with that as well (not just an opinion). Tommy's hard to figure out, I agree I think he could be a helluva recruiter but needs a ton of grooming to be an effective coach at any level. I still love the guy though for what he did on the field as a player!

New rumor! Bill Callahan will not be fired, but will resigning to take another coaching position. Bill was as recently as last week approached by the US Olympic committee to come on board full time. It is further rumored that he will become the head coach for the illustrious US bobsled team. After an interview with Olympic officials they were unbelievably impressed with the manner in which Callahan is able to get a team to go downhill faster than any coach in modern history. I will try to learn more and keep you all updated.
