Husker Runner Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 John Blake filled the cupboard with talent as head coach at OU, but the results did not show up on the field. Stoops stepped in and took Blake's players to a National Championship. Ditto with Ron Zook and Urban Meyer. Callahan has shown he is a great recruiter, but the results are not showing on the field. (Yes, the offense played well today, AGAINST BALL STATE.) The defense is severely under-performing, and that is putting it mildly. Will Callahan be our John Blake and Ron Zook? Quote Link to comment

And this should surprise NOBODY who looks at the facts. Quote Link to comment

melscott62 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 maybe... thats why we need to stick with him a little longer. he might also prove to be a guy that just took a little time to get going. if we do stick with him a little longer, I think we will have a lot of coaches wanting to come here if he does get canned.

Yep, I fully agree. I've never been convinced he is the guy to take us to "the next level". He might be, he might not be. We'll know in a few more years. A big measuring stick might be if he is able to fire/push out/whatever his friend who is running the defense. If he can't make tough choices like that, then he won't be staying longer than a few more years for sure. Quote Link to comment
