EbylHusker Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Callahan has an ego sure. But he also has sense if he could get 5 million to walk away as opposed to his 3 million dollar buyout he would leave in 2 seconds. MONEY TALKS Your right, but when has Cally recently done anything somewhat logical? Helu and Castille have been getting more action, along with some other younger players. I admit, the logical things are few and far between, but a few pop up here and there. Quote Link to comment

He constantly offsets certian ok decisions with real bad ones. Quote Link to comment

hack Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 the huskers of years past demand nothing less that SEPPIKU!!! Quote Link to comment
Vuren Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 the huskers of years past demand nothing less that SEPPIKU!!! hai...but he doesn't have the honor to do it, hiri kiri would be ok, but again no honor, i say we tell him it's the only honorable way out? Quote Link to comment
joekun Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Announcing his intention to step down at the end of the season isn't any more beneficial than telling him to sod off tomorrow and appointing an interim HC. The only thing I can think of is that they want to try and spin it as though he's stepping down of his own volition rather than being fired so they can tell that to the recruits. If he's fired it may look to some recruits like we fire coaches so often (even mid season) that there wouldn't be any continuity during their years here. the huskers of years past demand nothing less that SEPPIKU!!! Can I be his second? I think I have a samurai sword around here somewhere...I know there's one at your place Hack Quote Link to comment

HuskerNative Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't understand the thinking behind paying him more than his contract for him to resign after the season. Ends whatever uncertainty there is and provides another reason to HOPE. Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't understand the thinking behind paying him more than his contract for him to resign after the season. Just fire him tomorrow morning or next week or when the final whistle blows at CU - whatever - and pay him what we are obligated to pay him in the current contract. Announcing his intention to step down at the end of the season isn't any more beneficial than telling him to sod off tomorrow and appointing an interim HC. I have to agree with you... he's already getting several million dollars that wouldn't be in his contract had the crooken A.D. not been renewed a month earlier. Is this just the Nebraska way? Is it why I always tip 20%? We're already paying him a crapload...why more? he should be paying us for sucking.... Quote Link to comment

Announcing his intention to step down at the end of the season isn't any more beneficial than telling him to sod off tomorrow and appointing an interim HC. I believe they would offer up more monay as an incentive to resign early (as in before the end of the season). Is how the rest of you understood it? I think that's the only thing it can mean, but that's not how it was worded. My guess is just a poor choice of wording on that part. Still doesn't make any sense to me because you could fire him right now. I guess the only thing I can see is that he ANNOUNCES his resignation EFFECTIVE at the end of the season right now, and you have to pay him extra to do that. I think that is stupid, can his ass right now instead and get him th f#*k out of there. Anyone with half a brain can do a better job than that jackass is doing right now - three straight blow out losses, yeah I think I could even coach us to that. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I hope this happens in the next several days. We need to get a coach hired and try to keep some of the recruits who have committed. Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 For get the recruits, we are probably going to lose most of the ones who were going to come here to play for Callahan anyway. It would be nice to see him step down now and let Watson finish up the season as OC, and see what he could do. The players won't and can't say any thing about how they really feel about this coaching staff, but they could show it on the field by the way they finish out the season. It might feel like a breath of fresh air to get out from under Callahan's thumb to them. It sure is worth a shot. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
