Saunders Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sporting News has us as one of the top 5 teams on the rise, however, this quote was absolutely alarming. "How bad was the dysfunction? Consider this anecdote: Former coach Bill Callahan was obsessive about his offense; he made the game plan and called the plays. Sources say before the Texas game -- and at the height of Nebraska's failures -- Callahan let his assistants build the game plan and said he wouldn't call one play. After the first series, Callahan not only called every offensive play, he called the defensive sets, too. The Huskers gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and lost, 28-25. Then they allowed 172 points over their final three games." http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=405647 Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I heard that about the Texas game on 1620 earlier this week. More and more keeps getting released about how questionable some of Callahan's methods and practices were. Quote Link to comment
Husker Luke Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well, we don't have to worry about Callahan's methods anymore. Unless you are a Jets fan. Quote Link to comment
