NU fan in Denver Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 LJS "Callahan looked lost at times on the sideline. The Huskers’ leader exuded concern and confusion instead of confidence. A team mirrors its leaders. Speaking of leaders, Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson constantly reminds his employees, “Everyone’s accountable.” Pederson’s mantra, of course, should apply to Pederson himself, for he was responsible for hiring a head football coach who presides over a program that suddenly appears to be spiritless, rudderless and lacking in chemistry.

BleedHuskerRed Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 At the halfway point of the regular season, this Nebraska team is defined largely by the lack of energy and doggedness it displays on almost a weekly basis." Did he really mean doggedness; doggedness as in persistent or tenacious? Judging by the context I’d say he meant another word, I’m not sure what. “Nebraska has ample time to change its course and finish the season with a flurry of wins.” Do they? Ample time? I’d say they have exceedingly limited time to change course. Quote Link to comment

I’d say they have exceedingly limited time to change course. He meant there are still enough games left on the schedule to have a worthwhile season. But I think he's inferring what everyone already knows. This will likely be Callahan's last year. X Quote Link to comment
Huskerfan55 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I agree Callahan looks clueless on the sidelines. He is like a deer in the headlights. I doubt this is his last year though problem is we will most likely go 1-5 in our next 6 games and maybe worse and what does this mean for next year? I am very sad about the seeming death of Big RED!

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Good article!!! Callahan needs to get rid of that script crap he does every game. He needs to just go out there and play, making adjustments as the game goes along. He seems to concerned with following his script regardless of whether it works or not. Quote Link to comment
TrueHuskerFan Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd like to see the media keep that heat on him at the press conference tomorrow. Hopefully they ask some tough questions, because we need answers. Quote Link to comment
coyeote Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Good article yes and it brings to point that the buck really stops at the top. Firing BC or Coz right now isn't the answer. Firing SP right now isn't the answer either. Firing SP at the end of the season now that's a different deal. SP has made some tough decisions since coming to Nebraska. He made all of them wrong but tough decisions just the same. For all the staff who's lives have been tied to the program who have left, who you've fired we bid you fairwell but will be glad you left. For all the staff who's families, who's roots etc. are tied to Nebraska and have left anway we bid you fairwell. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFan505 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Good article, Pederson may be one of our biggest problems, he needs to go, with Cosgrove. GO BIG RED Quote Link to comment
alairguard Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I liked the article and agreed with how Callahan looked on the sideline. He honestly looked like he was out in left field. I really have no problem with Callahan, he has done a decent job with the offense (give him credit, with the exception of this past Saturday, the offense over the past 4 years has gotten better and better). The focus needs to be on the defense and it start at the DC position. SP hired a coach that can get the job done as long as he has the right staff behind him. On the offensive side of the ball, good staff, defensive side of the ball needs replacing. Quote Link to comment

alairguard Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 o-line coaching is looking a little iffy Ok, you got me! The o-line staff needs to do something! Quote Link to comment
Huskerfan55 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Do we have an O-Line? They have been missing since Nevada oh yeah they started playing someone! We have some very deep systemic problems. We have to go in and cut it out and its name is Pederson! Quote Link to comment
