huskerswrkhavoc Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 What's actually a little surprising is that there haven't been more transfers. It seems that whenever there is a coaching change at any school, you can expect a good 10 to 12 players leaving. I hope that the lack of transfers is indicative of the players finding the new staff to be a refreshing change - can't think of any other reason to explain it. Does anyone have the number of transfers from UNL after Solich left? I think the highest number (or at least most relevent) of those players to transfer were actually after Callahan's first year...Ross Pilkington/Joe Dailey/the fast kid from Lincoln, Andy something? Birkle. I don't know if I would count Pilkington. yeah, right after birkle left his cousin got the snot beat out of him...coincidence? i have no clue but to be a rumor monger...it's not, people didn't like his cousin leaving...especially after he sold out his first highschool to transfer hahahah.. i remember going to the LSE v East game the year after he transfered... didn't ever go to either hs or ever plan to.. wasnt in hs at the time, don't even remember why i was there.. but they gave him quite a hard time....... as expected.

zoogs Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Here's an interesting article on Birkel: http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2004/1...55213100965.txt Birkel said he thinks a pro football culture has developed, one where a player is valued only for what he can contribute on the field. Before coming to Nebraska, Callahan was head coach of the Oakland Raiders. "We'd have meetings, and more than a few times he'd mention, 'In the NFL it was like this, in the NFL we did it this way.' "You know what, we're not in the NFL. We're college kids trying to play football and get our degree. We don't care about people in the NFL. It's way too professional down here." Quote Link to comment
