This is hard to swallow. Harder for some. Not going to a bowl will make the wait to spring ball a bit longer. I never put much stock in streaks, but that's me. I guess it's the price to be paid for not being happy with having a winning season every year and going to some joe schmoe bowl.
Bring on the recruits and spring ball!
I'm sorry I don't have a, "wait till next year" attitude about this. I'm friggin pissed off. I'm glad that it's nice to have such a flippant attitude about the worst season in over 40 years.
I was raised, and bleed cornhusker football, and what I saw today absolute made me sick.
They showed up for the last 5 minutes of the game, other than the one defensive series before the half, other than that, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!
I hope BC does a hell of a lot better next year. If he doesn't, then who in the hell will want to come play for him? Maybe we can get some more losers from NJ to come to Nebraska.
I absolutly agree, football may not be about streaks but it is about winning or at least showing that you can comwith the best, From what I have listen and watched this season I dont see any of that... I also dont agree with the PLayers recruited to be in a option style offense bull. This year was all about being out coached, what a suprise that Cosgrove drove a top 10 D into a crap D, and a who cares Offense (wco) Callahan has a interesting pattern running from the raiders now the huskers he takes over and wam teams that were good turn to crap... I feel for the seniors and hope that players with a chance to go pro do so, and running backs that have talent xfr or go pro as Callahan has no idea how to use a excellent back like ross.

This is what we have to look foward to in the future less something amazing happens and the ad and hc and dhc are all fired, Callahan is good at one thing and one thing only and that is taking a team that won the previous year and turning them into loosers the very next season, this is not about the athletic ability of the players the talent is there the coaching is not....
I truely wish that the seniors could have went to a bowl game its sad to see a team that won last year with the players fall to 5-6 due to a lack of coaching, Dailey is being asked to do something he cannot it is as if Callahan doesnt care if he cant he only wants to showcase his O win or loose.
Or perhaps he is loosing so next season if nebraska somehow manages to go 6-5 he can say that they are making progress... who knows the only thing that is for sure is that the program is at a all time low, lets not forget Pederson "We will not let Nebraska slip into big 12 midocracy", or Callahan " with the WCO we will take what we want not what they give us."
The only thing that the wco has taken is a beating, and Nebraska has fallen to the midocracy they are now below that... im not hating anything other than seeing my beloved huskers loosing due to coaching.

I wish everyone would just stop complaining and support the huskers for once. We knew this was going to happen. Callahan is trying to install a modern offense with Solich's recruits who were suspose to run the option. Sure the first game of the year was kind of a tease, but deal with it. Have you seen our recruiting class for next year? Yea, it is #1 in the country. Have we ever had a #1 recruiting class. I don't think so. Callahan is doing what he can, but with Our Q-Back situation this year and Joe-It-Is-Almost-Intercepted-Again-Dailey we are doing the best we can. Next year we will start to look like a offense that knows what it is doing. Have patience, we have our next "Tom Osbourne" here. Have patience.
Nebraska never had a 1# recruit class but they did win national titles if im not mistaken, a true coach is someone who can get the best out of every player.... If BC needs to have the best in order to coach thats not coaching that is simply the players ability to make plays.
Besides you need to look at play calling and not say its because of solich recruiting, or saying that they have no talent what have you, Callahan just cant get it done less he has the a big name player behind center, and that is what is going to turn Nebraska into a team that has one good season every 4 years look for lots of rebuilding years in the future
-
B. Cotton is let go and goes to Iowa state, Iowa state beats Nebraska, Pelini is let go and moves to OK I guess because he cant run a D very good only good enough to shut out Callahans beloved WCO so in consecutive weeks Nebraska has lost to x-staff
-
Rushing yardage wise the only differnece is the qb position. We are going to have a 1000 yard rushing tailback, something that didn't happen the last two years. Crap 2002 Diedrick had 14 games and didn't make it 1000 yards. We have ran the ball more then we have passed it. The last four or five years the first option on running plays was the quarterback. I don't know if I would call that smashmouth. I guess Penn St was a smashmouth game last year when we ran it 72 freakin times.
as far as rushing yards go I dont care about that all that much because hitting a thousand is great but its not the same running game the smashmouth football puts a d on there heals and come end of 3rd they are tired and you can run over them...

hatred
someting tells me that you might actually want to read a post b4 you reply to it or maby your just sending one word post to build money so it looks like you post here all the time I dont know
Nope, just stating that all you do is hate. You post variations of the same 3 belligerant rants all the time to build up posts.
Bah dont care anymore, this has been a year of not can we win this game its more how bad are we going to get beat and howmany INTs can we throw.
-
as far as the the hatin thing goes, dream on I love Nebraska if im hating well I guess your going to have to deal with it because that is what I think if you dont like what I ahve to say dont read or go to a board were everything is the way that you want it to be that way you never have to face the fact that someone doesnt agree with you or might actually have a different view of the situation.
No, the fact is that ever since you have come here all you do is hate on your own team. It has nothing to do with football, it has everything to do with the fact that you hate what is going on because you are so narrow minded that NOTHING CAN WORK EXCEPT RUNNING THE BALL. We appreciate the neanderthal point of view and the same posts over and over and over again. But please, save it.
daveh, your one of these lovely fans who watch the game and even in a loss say it will get better it will get better one more year one more year then 5 years later some announcer points out that nebraska hasnt been to a bowl game sence moving to wco and you will stop and think what happen has it really been that long?
Give me a break and neanderthal please, I wouldnt talk of someone till you actually know them this would be a wise point for ya, but then again you would actually have to read im order to understand my point of view and judging from some of your replys to my post im not sure that you can read,

That is incorect passing can work in Nebraska, I dont argue that but what doesnt work in nebraska is Callahan what has he ever done as a head coach?
-
Like him or hate him lets look at the facts
as a head coach or off. coord
School Year Position Record Highlights
Nebraska 2004 Head coach 5-4-0
Raiders (NFL) 2003 Head coach 4-12-0
Raiders (NFL) 2002 Head coach 13-6-0 AFC champions
Raiders (NFL) 2001 Off. coord./O-line coach 11-7-0 AFC West champions
Raiders (NFL) 2000 Off. coord./O-line coach 13-5-0 AFC West champions
Raiders (NFL) 1999 Off. coord./O-line coach 8-8-0
Southern Illinois 1989 Offensive coordinator 2-9-0
As far as the 1999 to 2001 I dont think you give callahan that much credit as he wasnt really a head coach Jon Gruden was making the calls for the team, in 2002 Gruden moved to Tampa bay where he took them to face the team he had built in Oakland oakland and callahan lost 48-21 (no he never won a NFL Championship)
Gruden was the first coach in history to win the Superbowl in his first year as head coach after changing teams. How long should he be given and how long do we have to live with cosgrove.

You guys were all happy with 10-3 and ranked 19th. Last time I checked Texas is in the Top 10 again this year. They handed it us last year. So if having the best recruiting classes get us back in the Top 10 I'm all for it. Top 5 recruiting classes have worked out for Oklahoma and USC. Aren't Miami and FSU usually in there also. Do you have any quotes from TO after Solich fired all his Ole' Boys? For the last time the Solich firing was a YEAR late.
Fine, if you feel that way. I disagree. But BE CONSISTENT! Either its all about wins or its not. If you're going to fire Solich because he had one bad season, then demand wins from Callahan now. You can't have it both ways.
It's simply not a fair comparison. By doing that you are simply ignoring what Callahan wants to accomplish here and the magnitude of it. More than a year. You may not like what he wants to do, but I think you have to give the man more than a year or two to get it going.
Sure, if we had hired an option coach not much would have changed. But we didn't. As you said, you can't blame the guy for taking the job.
I expect a coach to put us in a position to be contending for championships, Big 12 or otherwise. Solich wasn't doing that after 6 years. If Callahan can't do it after a shorter amount of time, say 3-4 years, then he would need to start worrying about his job. At that point, it would be fair IMO.
Well honestly it is a fair to give Callahan only one chance, as that is what Solich was given...Though I dont think that cosgrove should b fired b4 the end of the year so he doesnt hurt the D any further

Love the chatter I see about BC being a bum and the staff is worthless and should be fire......I can't say that the losses this year especially S. Miss aren't hard to take....but what did you guy's expect?....No way you can replace Tom Osbourne and expect to roll on without a hick-up or two...and if that means a losing season or a blowout here and there, then some of you guys are just not living in the real world......The History of Nebraska Football is replete with rebuilding and bad years....all programs have their low points....its just the way it goes.....Do we have to be happy?...NO....do we act like f@#$ing loser KSU fans and boosters...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....We have had a nice run with Devaney and Osbourne....and lets not forget there was alot of guys(me) who wanted T O's head when he kept losing to OU....Miami was horrible for a couple of years, OU was worthless for about 6 years....LSU GEORGIA>ALABAMA...UCLA>>>USC....All these programs have stunk , some still do....what we need to see from our new coaches is progress....I don't want to see BC riding around Nebraska promising a Nat Championship in his first year, I don't want a coach who lies about where he played football or a coach who hangs out with strippers... I want a coach with drive and a love for football ...a guy who can hire good coaches and a guy who can hit the street and recruit....We got that guy...Stop f@$#ing whining you little bitches and get behind the program.....I swear there are some guys on the site who need to drive there carr of a cliff....... we have very little chance to beat OU, but I know help is on the way....We may be bringing in the best class of Highschool talent to ever play at Nebraska.....Last years Class was solid and I got to believe with Blake and Co. out recruiting we will have a nice class next year....IF....If BC has not got it turned around in 07, then I will the first to call for a change.....The Talent on the O-line and the D-line is simply not there...our Linebackers and average at best and our QB is not very good....WTF do you expect BC to do with that?........How many NFL prospects are on the field today?........Stop whining and get out your check books,,,,,send lawyers, guns and money...and we will get back on top.....peace my bruthas....and fu$& off to all you KSU WANNABEES HUSKERS WHO WHINE ABOUT BC
PS...I don't care if you bann me for this post...if a brutha can't say his peace here then I don't want to be here....
This post makes me laugh, this is how I look at it.... People who say give BC a chance are basically people who know it was a mistake to hire him and hope he does something in hte next few years, as far as rebuilding this is a team that in 2002 went 7-7 then 10-3 and lost only a few seniors....
Rebuilding I think not, this is a team that is young I will give you that but this is also a team that at one point had a D before Cosgrove desided that he had hurt wisc enough and felt like he had what it takes to destroy Nebraska football..
As far as Callahan goes Funny isnt it Solich was fired because they said he couldnt win the big ones, well he might have had some problems winning the big ones but at least he could win small ones Callahan and crew cant even do that and are now in a situation to wreck another peice of Nebraska History

I truely hate the idea that NEbraska fades in the 3rd and 4th qtrs, with hardnose football this use to be the best part of the game, when Nebraska would hammer the ball over and over down the middle or option making the D tired gasping for air or off the field nursing them selves.
Nebraska use to control the clock, its hard for a team to score if they dont get their O on the field, this is partly due to the passing abilities or disabilities of Dailey and partly due to a coach who doesnt beleave in Nebraska style football, I wanted to pass a little more when solich was hc but that was because he would run the ball when the D was over loading the box it just made sence.
Callahan just seems to want to pass 40 times per game no matter what, 3 in the box doesnt matter here comes another pass play.... Solich had some ruff spots in his time as HC but at least he knew what Nebraska football was all about, Callahan on the other hand has no idea, The team doesnt look the way they use to they are not fired up but wrather seem to be going threw the motions until the end of the game, thats a coaching problem, they dont look rdy for games and they are playing way below the ability that ithey have.
Call me a hater or what have you, I love NEbraska I have been a fan for years daiting back to when sungrove was QB.
I hope things turn out different than what I see them doing in the last two games only time will tell and it all depends on what NEbraska team shows up to the final two games that is what will determin the possibility of a bowl game.

Kramer would you like to make a wager on any of that, 7 sacks by Cody, 5 INT's by Dailey? If you wanna put your money where your mouth is, I'll gladly take it from you.
The 5 picks by dailey is a pretty safe bet, as he is the INT king, I dont know about the sack part and 50 points herm I was thinking a bit more but sure.
Are you willing to put any money where your fat hatin' mouth is?
Sorry to rain on your hopes but I just dont see nebraska winning anymore htis year, hell if they do thats wonderfull but im not going to get my hopes up that they will win another, Its not that they dont have the talent its how that talent is being used.
And its not that its a new system, Callahan isnt the first coach in NEbraska HIstory to try to pass, Osborne passed in his early days in coaching. I just hate to see a coach that looks at a D lining up 3 in the box and then passing over and over not even establishing a running game, I had the same anger when Solich would lrun the ball when they were lining 8 in the box it just makes no sence to do that.
as far as the the hatin thing goes, dream on I love Nebraska if im hating well I guess your going to have to deal with it because that is what I think if you dont like what I ahve to say dont read or go to a board were everything is the way that you want it to be that way you never have to face the fact that someone doesnt agree with you or might actually have a different view of the situation.

Never under estemate Dailey, he can put INT's up better than anyone

I don't know what 'Mary Poppins' fan means, but I do agree with almost everything that Solich Needed is saying. A lot of people need to accept the fact that some of us feel our program has been hijacked and is heading in totally the wrong direction. We're more than willing to debate what's going on on the field. For example, Cosgrove is an idiot. He doesn't blitz enough and has the defense sitting back and reacting. Another example...we run over people when we run the ball, but Callahan still insists on throwing 40+ times a game.
But what people like Benard, Solich Needed, and myself are griping about really has less to do with game philosophy (run or pass) and more to do with the attitude of the program. I said it before and I'll say it again. The heart of Nebraska football has been ripped out by Pedersen and it will take years to recover. You can see it in the way the players a playing.
I think you and your clones need to realize that Solich isn't coming back. Check the stats we have ran the ball more then we have passed. If having one of the TOP recruiting classes in the country is headed in the wrong direction then most of the Top 25 already beat us to that. Solich fired a crap load of people to, so I ask again did any of the tradition die then?
Callahan could recruit the best in the world and it still wouldnt make a difference... If you cant coach you cant coach, callahan is great at recruiting not coaching

OU 52
NU 6
Rush 225

Callahan is a great recruiting tool, that I will give him....But he is not a coach, he has been out coached many times this year, I dont want to hear any of this BS we need better athleates because that is a load of crap this is the same team as last year and this year we are strugleing to make it to the magical 6th win to be bowl elegable.
Honestly with how Callahan has managed in the span of less than a year to take Nebraska from a winning program to the whipping boy of the big 12, im not sure that I would want to see Nebraska in a bowl game to be destroid on National tv....
He just doesnt have what it takes to be a head coach, he might have been good as a cordinator, someone who tells the head coach what they are doing then the head coach desides what to do.... Callahan is a joke, as is Cosgrove....
Cosgrove has a good D to work with and he is making them look like a 3a D, I dont see how anyone can argue that Pelini wasnt a good coach, he might not have been the best but come on Cosgrove?
I will be very impressed to see Nebraska win one more game this year, its not that they dont have the talent to win its they dont have the coaching to win, this is a first for me Nebraska has always had good coaching, devany, osborne, solich... now we have a retard who looks lost and apparently doesnt watch the game....
You've got to be kidding me. Did you seriously expect a 10-1 season with a trip to the Big XII Championship? With a new coach, a new system, and players that don't fit into the system, my expectations weren't that high. All I can say is that you're one of many spoiled Nebraska fans who aren't used to this.
I bet you were one of those people who asked for Solich's head on a platter after the 7-7 season but sang his praises through last season. The words "fair weather" come to mind.
I didnt expext to see a 10-1 with a trip to the big 12 champ, but I never in my wildest dreams thought one person could destroy so much in such a short period of time.
Spoiled maby, I dont ask for a perfect season every year, what I want is a team that comes to play every sat. looking at this year nebraska showed up to playin 2 games thats about it.... as far as Solich hell no i wasnt asking for his head, I actually beleaved in solich, Osborne selected him to be his replacment and I knew there would be some ruff spots but I knew that nebraska would be their to play every sat....
I dont beleave in Callahan, he has shown me nothing... Dont give me this crap about it takes longer than a year to implement a system, Callahan is doing the same thing Solich did only with the pass, everyone complained when they loaded the box with 8 and Solich would run the ball, Callahan sees 3 in the box and goes pass happy? come on Callahan has a set game plan that doesnt change when he sets his mind on the pass that is just about all they do.

No, he doesn't coach the defense, but he did bring in a moron to screw that up for him. Any coach worth anything knows if your primary gameplan isn't working, you take what the defense gives you. People like you always complain that Solich couldn't do that. Well, hold Callahan to the same standard. I know he's changed to go almost 50-50 run-pass...but why does he keep going back to the same old busted pass plays in critical situations when he knows that the running game is on? If he would actually give the run a shot for an extended period of time, it might open up his precious WCO a little more. Those are the adjustments I speak of.
Hey Utah did you ever complain when Frankie kept running the same old BUSTED option every other down? What option right. When the defense puts 9 freakin people in the box don't you think you should pass the ball. Any coach worth anything knows if your primary gameplan isn't working, you take what the defense gives you. People LIKE you gave Frankie boy slack why don't you allow Callahan any? If he would of actually give the passing game a shot, it might of opened up his precious Option a little more. Does the name Craig Bohl ring a bell? Moron given the Defense to screw everything up.
OK hold retard err Callahan to the same standard!!!!!!!
You said Solich just ran all the time with the same old busted run when they had 8-9 in the box well Callahan passes when they have 3 in the box herm interesting isnt it.
-
Very likely. Of course, some college coaches take a similar approach - Tommy Tuberville at Auburn is one that come innediately to mind. These type of coaches feel that the teams are better off not being ruled by emotion - when the emotion "goes", the team heads south. They'd rather have them playing consistently.
Not to say that's a good way to do it - just that some do it that way.
Then you have coaches that cant make it in the NFL or College( callahan )
BS. I guess winning a Super Bowl doesn't count? Yea, I know what you are going to say about that so just save it. That's the thing about some of you. You would rather bitch about anything and everything instead of talking actual football.
I know this thread ended a while ago...but I thought you'd like to know that Callahan never actually won the Super Bowl. He got there once, but got creamed because he couldn't adjust to what the Tampa Bay defense was doing to him. Sound familiar?
My bad.
But no it doesn't sound familar. He doesn't coach the defense here. I am sure the Tampa Bay defense that year would appreciate you taking their credit away from them.
I love how people think you can make magical "adjustments" and make everything hunky dory again. Like there is some magic playbook that can only be used in the second half. I guess it's a side affect of not knowing you are looking from the outside in.
DaveH its amazing how your able to change things into your favor with out really making any points, do you have nothing better to do or no oppinion of your own but just like bagging on other peoples??? and the fact that you open your mouth with out knowing anything is rather funny really
-
I remember the 80's. I remember all the heat Osborne took for not being able to win the big game. You, I, DJR, and the rest of the fans stuck by him during those times. Now that a new coach is in place, taking a lot of heat for his first season you are ready to bail. Sure, he hasn't shown that he is the man yet, but you aren't even willing to give him a chance. What does he have to do to get you behind him?. Seriously, I want to know. It seems to me that many fans were really more a fan of the style of football than the team.
The truth of the matter is Callahan was condemned by many fans before he even coached his first game.
We both have a point. People like me are upset because we feel like Solich was thrown away by an outsider who didn't understand or care how much it was going to hurt. The message sent was 'winning every game is more important than loyalty'. So we think perfection should be demanded. We don't understand why Callahan is given a pass because this is a 'transition year' when clearly losing was not acceptable. We feel people who supported the coaching change are willing to accept any level of ridiculous performance in the coming years just to defend the decision (that's what Petersen is like anyway). People like you don't understand that we talk of loyalty but don't give any slack at all to Callahan.
The truth is I didn't condemn Callahn from the moment he got here. It wanted to give him a chance. But he's demonstrated that he is not a good coach. You guys always say that the reason the change was made is that we were hovering around mediocrity. You'd rather cut the ties and end the continuity and tradition of the coaching staff than lose 3 games a year. I don't agree, but I can respect that. But I really really really really really really really REALLY don't think we're headed in the right direction here. This is a huge step down and I don't see us returning to what we were any time soon. You may not agree, but you have to respect that.
Why was SOlich not given the chance? am i to beleave that I should give Callahan the chance when Solich wasnt given the chance?
Welcome to the Callahan era

If you are not mad that nebraska lost or angry that a team with a winning record amazingly turned to a losing record in one season basically what Callahan did with the Raiders, then please follow some other team where you can say there is always next year, there is always next year.... and after 5 or 6 years you finally catch on that it doesnt matter what next year brings in talent you still have the same worthless coach....
