FriscoTXHusker Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't know why they didn't wait until later in the season. He is already overpaid, so hopefully it wasn't a big raise. pleasefirecallahan.com is alive and well. It will be making sure he lives up to this years expectations and the new contract. Ah nuts. They forgot to ask you first. :asshat Quote Link to comment
Huskerville Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 don't know how you guys feel about this, I for one think he's a great coach. Now I know he'll be here for a while. Congratulation's coach Callahan! Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Glad that's settled. Now the entire focus can be on football. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Pud always seems to find a way of stepping in it. Personally, I would have waited until after the USC game. If we win the game, it looks very deserving. If we lose but lose close, it appears as though the program is heading in the right direction. If we get blown out, it will make Pud look like a complete :asshat I'm not saying the entire season hinges on the USC game, but this game along with maybe the Texas game is the measuring stick for us this year. If we get humiliated at home by USC, I think the contract extension definitely has tarnish on it. If he wasn't willing to give the extension before the season began, I think he should have waited until at least after the USC game. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 we all knew this was coming after stevy P got his. Even though I don't think he deserves it, but they should do it in the off-season, no need for any distractions in the season. Quote Link to comment

If "Pud" doesn't give BC a contract he's basically admitting that he ("Pud") failed which makes his own renewal look kinda stupid. When "pud" got his, BC's was a foregone conclusion. The USC and TX games have little to do with it in the short term. Quote Link to comment
Husker 42 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't know why they didn't wait until later in the season. He is already overpaid, so hopefully it wasn't a big raise. pleasefirecallahan.com is alive and well. It will be making sure he lives up to this years expectations and the new contract. For a website with such honorable intentions though, doesn't it have an a-hole-ish, sensationalist kind of name? You know, it's almost like those intentions aren't exactly what the site is about. The top 5 reasons to fire Bill Callahan: 5. Harrison Beck - YES I am still mad! Sam Keller and Blaine Gabbert. 4. Avg 1.9yds per rush against USC and still only attempted 17 passes Fair point. Gosh, I guess this takes away from everything he's accomplished, though. 3. ZERO wins vs. Oklahoma...not acceptable Zero for two, mind you, with the first coming in the lost '04 season when OU was on top, and the second being a 31-24 game that was well played. Might want to check out Dr. Tom's record against Oklahoma in his first several seasons. Yeah, those people who wanted Osborne fired then sure knew what they were talking about, right? Just like the people who wanted to fire Mack Brown for the same reason, since he was obviously never going to get over the hump and beat the Sooners either. 2. 2007 Cotton Bowl. Ran a draw then punted instead of attempting a pass and a field goal. Seriously? Jordan Congdon....seriously? 1. He's Bill Callahan Seriously, did the guy who wrote this run out of creativity? You'd think there'd be some broad, insightful reasons, such as "lack of passion," "disconnect with the players," "inability to put together a good staff", or "can't recruit"...oh wait. Finally, here's a tip....name your page something other than "Page 1." Hint: change the stuff in the <title> tag.... It typically takes a new CEO 5-7 years to rebuild a company. A football team is much like a company. What you want to measure is the attitude of the players, the new talent coming in, the direction the program is taking and, of course, improvement on the field. Typically there is no straight line progression. There are ups and downs, but at least some improvement should be evident year to year. And there are changes, adjustments, as issues and obstacles are met and resolved. Unlike a company, however, the turn-over through graduation (or whatever) is not controlable. You lose the best, as well as the worst, you have every few years. That's tough--and makes recruiting and player development an even larger factor than recruiting and developing employees for a company. Take a look at BC from this perspective. Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I can seen the headlines now. "Callahan get's extension, pleasefirecallahan.com suffers setback." I think the pleasefirecallahan.com website is suffering no more setbacks. Quote Link to comment
