sunshine and lollipops was apparently watching our team in an alternate reality...

No, actually it was all of you who were apparently watching our team in an alternate reality for the past few years. At the beginning of the season, YOU ALL were the ones spewing the type of crap I've been spewing the last couple days, and I was the one who was saying what you're saying now. I was also taken to task when I suggested we may finish 5th in the Big XII North and...well...guess where we finished? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th! And what do I get for being right? BANNED!

 

Enjoy you're little circle-jerk over here, losers, because you've just been troll'd. Merry Christmas bitches!

Now did I call it or what?

i am a husker fan and these are all valid points Callahan never had full support from the fans

 

 

He also never honored the Husker Tradition. He was willing to accept losing seasons to "build his system" rather than work with what he had. Even Osborne knew that he could never do that. Nor was Callahan willing to encourage walk ons, or build 4-5 year players. He seemed to prefer the juco transfers more. Where have you been the last 4 years?

Since I can't search your posts made at that time, (Mods please fix) I do not know the argument you were making for the Huskers to finish 5th in the north. Now, if all you did was make a single statement and not back it up with a premise as to why, then I would think you were just another monkey flinging crap. If your statements were to wish the team ill will to get rid of Callahan, because you liked Solich or Pelini, and didn't agree with their firings, then that's just wrong. If you're a true Husker fan, you never wish they lose for personal satisfaction.

I suspect you were banned because you let your little emotions get involved when others challenged or discounted your posts, as evidenced by the above. Everybody has opinions, but if you're incensed at the fact someone may disagree with your opinion, then lay out your argument to that effect. If you're still at a crossroads after you made your point, then you can just agree to disagree and move on. Simple.

I was against the people that wanted to get rid of Ozzy for not winning "the Big One"

I was against it when ND got rid of Faust.

I was against it when OU got rid of Gibbs.

I was against it when NU got rid of Solich.

I was against it when UF got rid of Zook.

I was against it when ASU got rid of Koetter. (Mostly)

 

I've never supported the "Revolving Door" policy in dealing with Football Coaches.

 

But I've pretty much wanted Callihan gone since the day after he was hired.

Just seemed wrong for this job.

 

:yeah

 

I agree with everything you just stated. On ESPN, they talked about teams who are now getting rid of coaches that they shouldn't. I believe the one they were talking about was Miss State or someone that has led their team to a bowl game 11 out of the last 12 years but was forced out or forced to resign. I really think Gibbs laid all the groundwork for OU to be where they are now. He took a team decimated by NCAA sanctions and probation. He had them going in the right direction before OU got anxious and leaped to Schnellenburger (sp) and Blake before getting lucky and landing Stoops. Zook must be a fairly decent coach taking Illinois to a BCS bowl, and we know the man can recruit seeing how Florida won the NC last year with his recruits. He needed more time. Solich won like 75% of his games, and he made it to the NC game. I think you are spot on with the coaches you named needing more time.

 

I had great concerns when Solich was fired and BC was brought in. The biggest concern to me at the time was who would even apply to be the HC at NU after seeing a HC fired for winning 75% of his games? The next biggest concern came about by the amount of time it took to get a HC. Then, we only had one person doing the searching. Finally, we ended up hiring a guy just because he was out of a job and available. When BC was announced as our HC, I was extremely troubled considering the mess he'd made of the Raiders. However, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because I was so relieved we didn't get "Stache". I never really thought Clownahan had lost the team here like he did in Oakland until Homecoming against Okie State. After that game, I knew we were in a freefall downward.

 

Looking back at it now, I still think it's amazing and shows the character of the team in 2004 that they didn't just fold like this year's team did. When we got embarrassed by Texas Tech in 2004, we still continued to play football. I'm not sure if it was because of the kids we had playing then versus now or what, but this year's team would have folded like a lawn chair after a game like that. I think this past year's team pretty much mailed in the season after the USC game.

Sorry,all...to prolong this troll-fest.

 

Jr4949..

I've since changed my mind about Zook getting fired by the Gators.

He may be improving, but at the time..He was a terrible Gameday coach..But was considered the bestest recruiter out there.

(Probably why I found it so easy to see Callihan go).

 

Maybe Koetter too.

I never liked Errickson, but also didn't like the way Koetter handled the Keller/Carpenter situation..Plus..How do you argue against positive results?

 

With Callihan..My 1st impression was something about a Character flaw where he got in trouble with the Big10 for "Borrowing"? an opposing teams playbook that he happened to see in the pressbox..or something like that...That, and he called his previous team the "dumbest team in America".

 

Just didn't seem to be the kind of person I'd want coaching my Nephew..Or Son, someday).

Correct. It is a violation of the Board's rules to create a new account to by-pass a ban.

im not sure what you mean, im just saying these recruting losses are really going to hurt this team. we would have been better off keeping Callahan to see what he could do with them. i dont see how we are going to be better by losing them thats crazy talk

 

 

How many blown games and seasons do you give a coach? You can make so many of these same arguments at the end of every season. The fact is that BC STARTED in 2004 with a reasonably talented team, great facilities, a great fan base, A national recruiting apparatus...everything he needed and then some. And a huge salary to top it off.

Ask Kansas or Missouri how many bad seasons a coach should get. It took both coaches about SIX seasons, all of manginos previous five seasons sucked, pretty much the same with pinkie.

ah many revisionists.

 

A great many folks argued that the cupboards were bare when Cally took over. Others bragged on cally's recruiting classes. In fact, before the 2007 season, MOST thought the corner was turned. What a difference a year can make!!

 

a great fan base

 

One bad season for the fans, may have cost a 7-7 Solich his job, definitely cost a struggling Cally his.

 

But opinons vary...

 

Maybe the right staff is n place now.

 

Time will tell.

 

 

 

 

GO BO!!
