Sounds like Irving isn't too happy with the old coach.

[Apathy]

"I went and took a DVD (of Londen playing high school football) and put it in the hand of coach (Bill) Callahan," Irving said of now the former Huskers coach, who was fired last fall after four seasons. "I never got a call. ... I was very disappointed with the way coach Callahan handled that."

 

"They were telling me I wasn't good enough to be there," said Londen, who had scholarship offers from West Virginia and Rutgers. "At the moment it hurt. I don't know how to say it. I was like, 'Dang Dad, didn't you go there? And they don't want me to go?' I'm like, 'I'm your son. You did big things there. They don't want me to go?'

 

Did I ever tell anybody that Callahan is a complete MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Londen got a raw deal on that whole thing. But I'm happy for Londen. It sounds like he has a good collegiate career with WMU and I wish him the best.

[DeathCultArmaggedon]

Ugh, that's frustrating.

You might have, but tell us again. I like hearing it.

If he would have been an offensive player, he'd have been granted a scholly right off the bat. When you have like 7 QB's and 10 RB's and 15 WR's all handed schollies, there's not much to go around on D. I know the numbers are somewhat exaggerated, but come on we never really even tried on the D side of the ball. This is probably one of the biggest reasons so many Solich recruits were still starting last year on D. BC just never concentrated on that side of the ball as much as needed. I think in his mind he was convinced if he got great athletes on the offensive side of the ball he could simply use the leftovers on the defensive side of the ball. Unfortunately, players like Leon Jackson didn't see it this way.

Dude. He was a WR. Irving Fryar gave Callahan tape of him as a WR prospect, but never got called back. It was only at WMU that he converted to D.

[junior4949]

My bad. I just assumed he was recruited to play D.

I just stopped wishing BC well in his new job. He belongs at 7-11 serving slurpies.

He'd mess that up to.

 

7/11 manager: Dammit Bill! I told you to put the slurpies in the slurpie cups, not coffee cups!!

The legacy of Cally and Pedey not returning calls continues!

 

Good luck to Londen but I hope the Huskers juke him out of his cletes!

Good read. Thanks for the article.

Very good article and once again shows how Callahan thought he was smarter and better and had no respect for NU tradition.

[Cali Sker (in Boston)]

Didn't Cally recruit about 100 receivers? I seem to remember that being the case, although with Swift and Peterson as the senior guys now I'm wondering if my memory is a bit blurry... At any rate, the kid is 5'9", so the fact that he didn't get a scholarship offer maybe shouldn't really be a mark against Cally.

 

My big problem here is that Cally never even called Fryar back. And he even coached in Philly for two years while Irving was playing there. I mean, he didn't even pick up the phone to call one of his own former players! What a d*ck.

[huskernumerouno]

bc can rot in hell for the destruction he caused here. Not only did our team crash and burn under his watch but he avoided tradition and past Husker Greats to prove how smart he was. f#*k him
