A heads up to the next coach.....Don't mess with the walkon program

Read between the lines.

Yeah, I definitely got that message loud and clear, I also heard...

 

"I'll help where I'm asked", and dadgumit, you better ask!

[REDSTEEL]

I also heard 6-5 a couple time so don't be surprised if this coaching staff somehow gets to 6-5 that they might be around next year.

[I See Red People]

Yeah I got that too. We'll just have to see.

His basic philosophy on people working for him: you hire high character people, with a good work ethic, and let them know what you expect of them and everything will work itself out in the long run.

 

I will not be suprised at all if there is no "house cleaning" at the end of the season. Then again, if expectations are not met (which he basically made sure to say that people will know what his expectations are right away and how they are doing all along the way), there definitely could be.

What are we going to play Baylor and then Iowa St again.(Sorry I need to take my meds)

I am glad Callahan cut the fat with the walk-on program. Tell me exactly what you are going to do with upwards of 180 people on a god damn football roster? Please, I really wanna hear it.

You can get all the 5 star recruits in the world but sometimes they don't pan out. If you get a freshman class of 80 oppossed to 50, you've got a better chance of having more D1 caliber players as the class develops

I agree with this 100%.

Sorry, but 180 players won't fly. You'd like to carry players on the team that are simply there for the free food and being able to tell people that they play for Nebraska? Read Diary of a Husker.

You sound like someone thats bitter they couldn't make it on as a walkon or did you have to fit the bill for the food?

Heh. I wish.

[ToddB10000]

I thought walk-ons had to pay their own way - including food...

Well, you could have 8 scrimmages all going on at the same time for one thing - or, you could have 80 people running stairs while the other 80 practiced - maybe take 40 out to wash the staff's cars? I could think of a lot of things productive that 180 people could do.

That would have to be 6-5 heading into Colorado since there's 12 regular season games. I hope the team gets at least that many wins. A&M will have to be one of them this weekend.
