Eric the Red Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Instead of copying and pasting my quote 100 times, I've decided to start my own thread. The word of the day is TRUST The play(punt fake) worked. An excellent call, that took huge balls that possible could have went for big yardage with Shanle, great speed, had THE PLAYER caught it. I love gutsy calls. He's a great head coach because he trusts and loves his players. He trusted his players to play the game without worrying about making mistakes. That's a great quality to have as a coach...TRUST!!!!!!!!Unfortunately, PLAYERS aren't perfect and sometime make mistakes. Life goes on. If he worried his players would make mistakes all the time we would go .500 every year....gotta take chance and for the most part they worked all year. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I agree. The same people chastising BC need to ask themselves if they were the same people lauding him for his "ballzy brilliance" during the CU game and others. If I had any issue with THAT call, it was that it was designed for THAT guy. who is not that type of player. that is all. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I hate how some of you guys let a lose ruin this board for a couple weeks, get over the team will move on... This Will Take Some Time!!! Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 On the issue of trust, one has to wonder whether the team can trust their coach to make proper calls in important spots. Quote Link to comment

Oh god, shut the hell up dont even speculate like that if you dont know anyone inside the team or anything. If those players dont trust in that coach they wouldnt be coming here to play ball, wouldnt stay for Senior seasons, and not transfering. The players trust the coaches and the coaches trust the players, this team has a vision and is taking steps to get there... sorry its not fast enough for you Quote Link to comment

foote_21 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If the players didn't trust him they wouldn't be hear, guys would transfter and there would be major problems in the locker room and on the field... guys trust him and obviously so do recruits Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just imagine if the fake punt play would have worked. All of these haters right now would sound a little something like this: CALLAHAN'S A F'N GENIUS THAT FAKE PUNT PLAY WAS BRILLIANT. CALLAHAN IS HERE TO STAY! Quote Link to comment

All of these haters right now would sound a little something like this: CALLAHAN'S A F'N GENIUS THAT FAKE PUNT PLAY WAS BRILLIANT. CALLAHAN IS HERE TO STAY! Exactly... I would have loved to hear what have been said if Tierre Green would have fumbled the snap during the CU game. The play didn't work, that's why it's called a gamble, that's what happens during college football. Was it too much of a gamble considering the sitiuation, that could be argued, but yes if it is pulled off everyone says Callahan is the man. Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just imagine if the fake punt play would have worked. All of these haters right now would sound a little something like this: CALLAHAN'S A F'N GENIUS THAT FAKE PUNT PLAY WAS BRILLIANT. CALLAHAN IS HERE TO STAY! If If If, If we didn't fumble we would have be Texas. If Mo didn't catch the ball we would have lost to A&M. If KU played better in Ot we would have lost. If's don't work. Jump back into reality and see what happened. We did fumble the ball on the fake punt We did fumble the ball against Texas We did catch the football in the closing seconds against A&M We did stop KU in OT Its time to stop living in If fairyland.

I think you are missing the point. The point is not about the punt working or not working... the point is Callahan's head should not be on the block because of one play. If the play works no one says he should be fired most likely... however it didn't work and we move on. The point is that it is one play and you don't hang a job on one play... Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If people were fired every time "we" think they make mistakes, I don't think any of us would be at the same jobs very long. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
eliot1171 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 People always have a tendency to focus on one specific play. Most fans get tunnel vision and don't even care that NO game is ever decided on one play, and No coach should be judged by it as well. Quote Link to comment

The Green play during the CU game was in an entirely different situation against an entirely different opponent. It was bad football to call that fake punt, regardless of the result.
