Fire Callahan!

[alairguard]

You miss my Zook point. It is that you can have all the recruits in the world but you still must do something with them. Callahan will be like Zook. Then hopefully a winner will come in here and lead us to dominance. You are WAAAAAAY overstating how the cupboard was when Callahan got there. And our starting quarterback is a Senior transfer, he totally screwed us Harrison Beck. Did you see his play calling in last year's USC game? The A&M game after we took the lead....thankfully on a great drive we won, and the decision at the end of the Cotton Bowl.

 

I'm not complaining before the season, I am still complaining from 2005

Duly noted. So go back toy your website, and when you're ready to join 2007, we'll still be here enjoying Husker football.

Still complaining about 2005? Are your f'in kidding me?

[Wild Bill]

I saw this site and I agree. We need to make sure that we hold Callahan accountable. Anything short of 10 wins would be a disappointing season.

Remember we have 14 games with the Big 12 championship and a bowl game. That is only 1 win better than last year.

Off of what KSU, Colorado, Mizzousier, Okie or Texas turnip truck did you fall? Grow up, Junior.

We have the best fans in football right? well we all need to educate ourselves. Cally has done a masterfull job to date. We cant keep stradling the fence here. a majority want to blame cally and talk about all his deficiencies, then there are the few the proud the brave the correct that realize that we have overachieved.

 

The best teams have great QB's. Taylor was not great nor real good or even above average, he was great for our transition but overall he was a very average QB. Our coaches knew this, and they did things accordingly. USC, had we asked taylor to go out and be a gunslinger we get crushed. Big 12 Championship, the one game he needed to carry us it was bad throw after bad throw pick after pick

 

Cally has done a masterful job with what he has had.

I honestly am so surprised that everyone is accepting of this. My point is that if we don't start winning 10 games virtually every year like Texas, OU, SoCal, LSU, OSU etc then he needs to go. BCS 2 out of 3 years is a standard and I think less than 10 wins is a major disappointment in COACHING. Do you think we have less talent than Boise St last year? They beat OU and put up a lot of points purely on coaching and great play calling. A friend of mine who coaches at Oregon St. said that they were shocked and embarrassed by NU play calling in the Big 12 championship. You guys are saying it's OK to be close in the 4th quarter to good teams. When did this become the standard b/c it wasn't ok for Frank or TO.

 

Anyone wanna bet on a BCS game by 2010? If not, then that will be 7 years and that isn't acceptable. Also, we play in the Big 12 north. I am very happy we won and I traveled from AZ to the game but it isn't like winning the SEC.

to paraphrase for billy c. if he's reading this: WIN!!! WIN NOW!!! WIN EVERYTIME!!! NO EXCUSES OR YOU'RE GONE!!!!!

 

and if the guy we replace doesn't win at least ten games his first season and get us a BCS berth, second tops... HE'S GONE TOO!!!! NO EXCUUUSES!!!!

 

heck, we should just have coaches sign one-year contracts just so we ain't tied in with some loser! man, we'd have coaches FIGHTING to come to nebraska knowing if they weren't godlike out of the chute, they'd be dumped faster than the burritos racing thru mark mangino's small intestine.

 

that's the way to get it done in corn country, buddy! YEAH!!!

MODS CAN WE PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD IT IS POINTLESS AND IS JUST TRYING TO GET A RILE OUR OF THE WHOLE BOARD!!!!!

[husker rob]

Not sure if you need to fire him, but if you did. Hire Bo Pelini

didnt take long for the BOgasim to show up

[Hawkeyehusker]

While I agree we should now be at the point where we should begin to win ten games every season, we should at least acknowledge progress has been made. Callahan has put together some great recruiting classes for us, and last season we did sweep the North winning all our division games. Additionally we once again played in a New Year's bowl game. Sure we only won 9 games, but we very easily could have won 11. This is college ball, not the pros, sometimes the ball just bounces funny.

 

Our facilities have been upgraded. And the coaches are now recruiting players that are going to be highly successful in the offensive and defensive schemes our coaches want to employ. If Callahan is let go without giving him a fair shot at being successful, then who in their right minds would be willing to replace him? Besides, with the QB's we now have on the team, plus Gabbert coming in, we are going to have one of the most potent offenses in the nation.

 

But why are we even having this thread? Why should we have a "Fire Callahan" thread until he has at least had a fair chance to do his job?

Lets just see how this season goes. We should be in the top ten

[huskerfan500]

this is an age ol topic, personally I say give him two more years anything short of a big12 title and he should be gone, but that won't happen because Pederson won't back down on his descion that made his career. Do I like Callahan, I think he could be a better coach, do I want him fired yet no because as long as we made the switch to wco we should give it 5 years to develop. But as most here (I hope at least) I am a husker fan and will support them no matter who the coach or player or AD.

In FlippMoke's defense, he's a Sooner fan first and just happened by the boards to wish us good luck against USC. I wouldn't expect him to know as much as a Husker fan about the whole Bo Pelini fiasco.

Those wanting more time for BC seem to be the ones who wanted Solich fired. Solich's "new" coaching staff had just one year to perform and ended the season ranked in the top 25. We'll never know how well they would have recruited because they were given just one year.

 

Making progress? In 2003, NU went 10-3. We finished the season ranked 18th. In 2004, NU went 5-6 and finished ranked 68th. In 2005, NU went 8-4 and finished ranked 30th. In 2006, NU went 9-5 and finished ranked 28th.

 

Why after BC struggles does everyone want to compare and give him the time TO was given? Whenever we talk about Solich being fired, it's the same old thing that you win now. It's always said the times have changed and you win now and often or be fired. But, when it gets turned around to BC everyone wants to give him a contract extension and plenty of time even though he's yet to finish the season in the top 25. For those of you who think it's good that there wasn't the internet back in the 70's or TO would be gone might just want to do some history there. TO was so frustrated with the pressure of coaching at NU that he actually checked into coaching for Colorado of all places. The pressure was just as intense back then as it is now.

 

For those of you who don't want to see a coaching carousel, what do you think we have now? No, we haven't had new HC's, but we have several new coaches. I'm not exactly sold on Coz either. I find it interesting that Coz's replacement at Wisconsin is now their head coach. If Alvarez thought Coz was a good coach wouldn't he have had him stick around and hand the reigns to him?

 

We're not going to fire BC this year, and he will be the coach next year and the year after. However after his 6 year contract is up, I have no idea what will happen. Considering Pud just got an extension, I would assume BC will get one as well within the next 12 months. In order for any of this to change, I believe something drastic will have to happen such as sellout streak ending, etc. IMO, we're stuck with him. It's kind of like a marriage. We'll have him through richer and poorer and through sickness and health until he decides to retire or move on.

 

I can't stand all of these Solich nutswingers these days. Solich had 6 years to change things up. He didnt and he couldnt. Get out of the past. You talk about how we arent making progress? Haha. Do you REALLY think that Solich could have brought in top recruits and the skill players that we would have needed to transition to a throwing offense? NO. He couldn't have. Callahan changed the ENTIRE offense. If you expect a good season when your playing a WCO with option players than you are just plain idiotic. BC has made progress every year and thats what most fans are looking towards. He finally has all his main skill players in and this is the year for BC to show what he can do.

 

Also, don't you realize every team in college football has rebuilding years? EVERY TEAM. Whether it be Miami, USC, FSU, Florida, OSU, anyone. They all go through a point in time that they are changing things up and they arent a powerhouse for a few years. Look at Miami now, Look at Florida State. Both were DOMINANT in the 90s/early 2000s but are both mediocre right now.

i googled your user name and this website came up

 

www.pleasebanIBleedRed.com

 

while i believe that everyone should be given an opportunity to voice thier opinions and have enough time to voice them. you have been a member for a long time and have yet to show any intelligence in any of your posts. there should be a rule that you have to have posted something intellegent by your 8th post or you get banned for life

 

p.s. i'll take your bet and say that NU will go to a BCS game by the end of 2010, but i seriously doubt that you will still be around then for me to collect it.

 

i predict that you will not make it to the end of the year, before you are gone

it's OK rob, let him rant. he is basically by himself, few would give any credibility to his website.
