Callahan's thoughts on Osborne


Recommended Posts

I hadn't seen this, but just now read it on another board. I find this amazing and it speaks loudly about Callahan's respect for Osborne and I would say NU tradition in general. This is from a St. Louis paper:

 

Earlier in the week during a press conference, Callahan was asked that in light of all the recent upsets in college football, whether he now has a much deeper appreciation for coach Osborne and his tremendous accomplishments..

 

Bill Callahan's answer:

 

"I appreciate what everyone did — (Notre Dame's) Frank Leahy, (Oklahoma's) Bud Wilkinson, they all accomplished tremendous things..."

Bulls*%t. There isn't even a janitor left from the Osborne days in the Nebraska Football Program. I say he didn't understand (and to a greater degree and much more responsible Steve P didn't understand) what Big Red means to Nebraskans. Shock and Awe was the name of the game when they attacked this program.

 

This has been a terrible experiment in regime change and I don't know where or how to change the slide. I'm just sick, these guys have screwed up the tradition of Nebraska Football so bad....

He should appreciate what COACH (Osborne) did for the program! COACH Osborne was a great coach and an even better man. Long live Coach Osborne. I mean that, seriously. Go Huskers!

agree, let's give them 2-3 more years to show us what they can do. if no results, boot the bastards out!

 

 

2-3 years?!?! the team will be non-existant by then. potential recruits will be looking at us and saying "they used to be good...but that was a long time ago" 2-3 more years memorial stadium will be empty because of fed up fans not wanting to see witness a public disgracing of the state, the university, and the tradition of husker football. 2-3 years is too long.
