Blow Out Loss or a Win

[Hunter94]

so if CU blows us out, what will be the effect on season ending coaching changes?

 

on the other hand if we win, does anyone think that would save at least Cally's job?

Blow out and the whole stall can start packing as soon as they get back to Lincoln. Actually any loss.

 

Win and maybe we keep one or two of the staff but I think Call's gone irregardless.

 

Cos can start packing right now. Even in the win over KSU the "D" still pretty much stunk.

I think T.O. has his mind made up already. The gentleman in him is letting Cally stay till after Colorado.

The CU game is not a make or break game for the coaches. It will play a part in the evaluation, but not significantly more than any other game. If TO is thinking about keeping Callahan for another year, then the CU game will probably have an affect on whether TO forces out Cosgrove. If the defense plays very well, then Cosgrove could survive...

[Hunter94]

i don't think coz survives in any way shape or form, even if the boys pitched a shutout against CU. he just can't coach.

[HuskerMatt]

I think Cos. will be gone. We just never realy had a team orented defence. we had the talent, it is clicking just to late in the season. Whatever TO decides, you know it will be for the best of the program. He dosen't take them lightly

TO is painstakingly evaluating these coaches on several criteria. Interviewing past and present players and people in the athletic department. It is not like one football game is going to be enough to improve BC's W-L record, let alone all the other areas in which he'll be judged.

[REDSTEEL]

I hope Osborne does'nt change his opinion just because BC might have beat two teams (That most likely would not even make it to a bowl game) at the end of the year.

 

If you look back on the schedule none of those wins were against very good teams and a few were close to being a loss. Then look at the losses and all but one was a blowout and 3 of those were at home.

You are presuming that he has already formed an opinion. Yeah, I think he is going to make a coaching change too, but Osborne has steadfastly said all along that he has not made up his mind, and he will evaluate the coaches at the end of the season.

like many have said, i think TO has been making lots of calls to players and others connected with the program (since he became AD) since cally's tenure, trying to get feedback on how this regime functions.

 

i suspect he has made up his mind by now. you know he is interested in more than just W's, but how the kids have been handled by these coaches. all the incidents with Octavien, Bowman and others are probably the tip of the iceberg of what has been going on with the D and it sure appears callahan has not got involved much with helping out ole coz, even though he has been excellent in all areas......

A presser on Monday to announce the termination of Cally. It will be up to the new coach to assemble a staff. I think it will be done in a calm way by TO, addressing a lot of positives about Cally and so forth.

 

on the other hand if we win, does anyone think that would save at least Cally's job?

HELL TO THE NO!

 

The hiring of TO as interim AD mid season was to alert the obvious, that changes would happen after the season.

[ironmike]

If we win convincingly, I think there is a 15-20% chance that Cally is retained with a new defensive staff. Anything less and he is gone for sure.

I hope it's like tribal council on survivor. I hope they take their things with 'em and after it's over TO just sends 'em packing w/out even going back to the camp.

 

 

"Coz and Billy....the tribe has spoken..." and then TO snuffs out their torches.

[fatirishhusker]

I don't see any possible outcome to the CU game that could result in Callahan staying, unless all other potential head coach candidates are so shocked to see us win in Boulder that they all die of heart attacks.

I see what you are saying. Let me throw something out there...

 

The defense scores 2 TDs, causes fumbles, sacks, interceptions, great field position, etc, and carries the team to a 31-7 victory. Still thinking keep Cally and get a new DCoordinator? In this scenario, a punt return also goes to the house for a 50 yd score, while the offense puts up one touchdown and a field goal. The game is won convincingly. In a different scenario, the offense scores four TDs, a FG, and win 31-7.

 

I personally would be happy with either scenario, however it would not fuzzy up my thinking. When the season is over, it's over and done. Either 6-6 or 5-7, bring in a new coaching staff and let's move on.
