Vegas Popinjay Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The gang at ProFootballTalk.com (the best NFL rumor site in the land) has posted some college football news today (which is a rarity), but it's all about us! We interrupt our ongoing coverage of all things NFL to share some rumors we're hearing about a college program currently led by a former NFL head coach. In Nebraska, one-time Raiders coach Bill Callahan is certain to get fired. And there has been plenty of speculation that Nebraska alum Barry Alvarez will take the job. Alvarez retired as head coach at Wisconsin after the 2005 season. As our sources hear it, it's more than speculation -- it's a real possibility. And the Nebraska opening is one of many college gigs that soon will be available, and that could attract the attention of guys currently working in the NFL. These guys are usually pretty solid, so there could be something to this. Quote Link to comment
HuskerPharaoh Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Why would Alvarez give up his AD gig at Wisconson? And he is a bit old to be the coach -- I think we want a more youthful coach. Wasn't Cosgrove Alverez's DC -- even more reason to not allow Barry around here. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 were he younger, he would jump on it like cheetah on a gazelle with a bad limp. but i don't see him leaving madison for lincoln at this stage in his life. Quote Link to comment

Coz was his D Coordinator when they were in the middle of the pack then Coz left and they got better....what a coincidence. Quote Link to comment

Wasn't Cosgrove Alverez's DC -- even more reason to not allow Barry around here. because he would make a lot more money as a HC then AD Quote Link to comment
crappin92 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 We don't need any more former UW badger coaches. I think we have had our fill with the ones we have had. Quote Link to comment
Flatout24 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ahhhh, no thank you. Next please! Quote Link to comment
Spiderman Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I don't want a guy that had Coz as his DC. I got a lot of respect for Barry, but I'm just saying... Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Like Tyler Durden told Meatloaf in Fight Club.... He's too old. His boobs are probably too big too. Quote Link to comment

I got a lot of respect for Barry, but I'm just saying... pop quiz: did barry call his own D like osborne called his own offense? where this the case, that might explain why coz never appeared that bad.

izzyhusker Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Maybe they screwed up there info and he is going to be the next AD at Nebraska. What would you say about that. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Maybe they screwed up there info and he is going to be the next AD at Nebraska. What would you say about that. I would take him as a head coach. I realy dont see what is wrong with a transition coach right now. get a guy you know for a fact is a good coach that will get this program pointed in the right direction. then hand it off to young guy. guy you need to think about this. if we get wome young coach that looks really good on paper, but comes here and flops, it could take FOREVER to repair. if you can get him... you take him.

HUSKER 37 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Barry's records at UW 1990 1-10 1991 5-6 1992 5-6 1993 10-1-1 1994 8-3-1 1995 4-5-2 1996 8-5 1997 8-5 1998 11-1 1999 10-2 2000 9-4 2001 5-7 2002 8-6 2003 7-6 2004 9-5 2005 10-3 I know he's an alumnus and all..But he coached at Lexington... and the lowly Big-10 conference. I'd almost rather go with a WAC coach. Quote Link to comment
