More N-sight into Coach Cal

[Blackshirt]

You ask Husker freshman quarterback Beau Davis the question you ask everyone:What strikes you first about Callahan?

 

"For one thing, he's a perfectionist,"Davis said. "If you're on the field, and you're doing bad, he's going to let you know. He's straightforward with you. He wants things to go right when you're on the field."

 

Davis then makes a statement you hear a lot when the subject is Callahan.

 

"He's an offensive genius," Davis said.

 

Genius?That seems extreme when used to describe most anyone. Davis insists it applies in this case.

 

"We'll be in a meeting, and he'll come up with a couple of plays, and then he'll make other plays off of that play," Davis said.

 

But a lot of coaches can do that, right?

 

"Not every coach knows all the situations and all of the stuff going on on the defensive side of the ball, as well as the offensive side," Davis said. "Those intangibles make him a great, great coach. He just sees stuff that other people won't see on film. He'll break it down and make us better.

 

"It's awesome. We're learning stuff a lot of guys in college won't be learning. We're learning stuff that guys in the NFL aren't picking up until they get there. We're getting a head start."
