Prediction

"They had a winning % of 56% before Mack Brown got their, he has NEVER won less than 9 games and never lost more than 4." How many games did Nebraska win last year? 9. We'll see where we end up this year.

 

"And trust me if Mack Brown had Cally's record he would be fired." Well, he had Ricky Williams when he got here, it wasn't too difficult to figure out who to give the ball to. Cally had the savior Joe Dailey.

 

"Their defense is much better than ours and they give up less than 4 yds per rush and they held their 2 toughest opponents to 251 and 277 yds on offense." Holding TCU and KSU to under 300 yds. I think when TCU is your toughest OOC game, you're setting yourself up for a unexpected smackdown. I know, I know.....Ball State. I thought they gave Michigan a scare last year? Not sure. Don't care. Nebraska won the game. I don't want to play "what if". We could do that for every game played. How many points did they give up to KSU? I'm not sure we need to get into a strength of schedule debate, I would think our S.O.S. is a little tougher. If you go defensive stats alone, you will need to consider opponents. I'm not saying our D is anywhere up to snuff(where ever snuff is, we're not there, yet)

 

"He develops talent very well, and you can look at his NFL drafts to answer your own question."

I'll give you that he finds talent very, very well. I'm definitely not sold on the whole development thing.

I haven't noticed any huge improvement in his players from freshmen to seniors(if they stay that long).

Vince was Vince. Cedric Benson almost regressed. Chris Simms didn't get any better. Frank Okam should be just destroying people, constantly. I don't see a lot of fire in that dude. I don't know, you haven't sold me the Mack is head and shoulders above Callahan. JMHO.

 

 

 

 

"You guys are honestly drinking too much Kool Aid if you think we are a better team than TX." Please don't lump me in with "you guys". I never said that Nebraska was better than Texas. I just challenged the assumption that Mack and Co. were so much better than Callahan. I'm hoping that Callahan isn't so loyal to his DC that he won't make a change, if neccessary. Mack has kept Greg Davis(TX OC) for far too long, IMHO.

 

 

"Also, if you look at my desire for NU football it's to win 10+ games a year and be in a BCS game every couple of years and a NC chase every 5 years, similar to OU and TX like we were promised by PUD......remember?" So Callahan won 9 games last year, 4-1 so far this year, we still don't have a clue as to what will happen the rest of this year, played in conference title game, and we're not at the halfway point of year 4. So you think he should get one more year after this one?

I guess 10+ wins every year is reasonable in this day and age. How about 9+wins?

 

Also, I love your opnion caveat. Your signature says a lot, also.
