General Blackshirt Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ugh, that qoute about Callahan's botched fake punt call. I will never forget that play, we were playing Auburn in the bowl game, as soon as i saw it, i changed the channel and didn't watch the rest of it. Stupid. Why? It was a good call, just terrible execution by one Andrew Shanle. Exactly. Cally gets blamed for a lot that wasn't his fault. Quote Link to comment

Ya but to call for that fake punt on your own 20 yard line in the first half when you're already beating Auburn and you're defense is hanging with Auburn.....there was no need for that fake punt.

Jeremy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Fake punt from your own 20 involving a double reverse by two non-skill position players when you're tied or leading the game? Not smart. That said, Pelini's fake FG vs. CU last year was just as dumb. The difference? Pelini owned it, calling it the 'bonehead call of the year,' while we all know Callahan was excellent in every area...

zoogs Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That fake punt was beautifully executed and almost worked - the safety just got to it perfectly in a a perfect position, perfectly timed jump. You know, if he drops it down, Texas could have had a TD...and maybe won the game. Quote Link to comment
GBRsal Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 if ifs and buts were beers and sluts we'd have us a hell of a party Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You could, but he's won twice as many conference titles as Brown. True, but Big Game Bob's record in BCS bowl games leaves a lot to be desired as well. Be grateful for that fact or they'd have a dynasty going down there. Quote Link to comment
KingBlank Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Bo knows what he is doing for sure with coaching for sure, but remember he uses some of his second half timeouts in situations that do not warrant doing so, this may cost us at some point. You all know what I am talking about. Quote Link to comment

mwj98 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have said it a thousand times down here in Texas. Mack Brown is a recruiter. Damn good one. He did the same thing at North Carolina. He had some talent there, and it he has done the same thing again at Texas. He gets outcoached every time. Same with Stoops. Texas is a hotbed for recruiting. These guys will clean up year end and year out. But I tell you, if your starting QB goes down, shouldn't you have the talent to not have too much of a drop off? I'm just sayin....

Husker Runner Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Outcoached "every time"? Really? LOL. I am no Texas fan by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I root against them adamantly in almost every situation (except when it somehow would benefit Nebraska)...but he is the winningest coach of the decade. Look at the program before he went there, they floundered under two different head coaches for over ten years. He is a great recruiter, no doubt, and that is a key element of building a successful NCAA program. Is he the most brilliant tactical coach in college football? Probably not. He just keeps on winning games while other more "brilliant" coaches come and go. He's won more games than anyone else in the past ten years--and made Texas football the most financially successful program in the country by a long shot--and that's what he gets paid to do. Did he mishandle the QB situation this season? Probably. However, I think one of the key reasons for that was leaving Colt McCoy in games to pad his numbers and increase his Heisman chances. Hell, when has Mack Brown even had a season like Pete Carroll had this year? It's not only about bringing in talent. I hope Bo "sucks" as much as Mack Brown over the next ten years.

lilred Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mack Brown is overrated and this game proved it. Couldn't agree more. Consistent 10 win seasons does say a lot about him, but I tend to believe that it has more to do with the fact that his players are just physically more talented than the opponents half the time thus they get wins based off of their own physical abilities, and not Brown's coaching. I agree Quote Link to comment

Does anyone other than the Media and a few "fans" really care that much about that dang trophy? In some ways, I think we're still a little spoiled...All Coaches make bonehead calls...But Osborne did SO much with less talent than anyone I've ever seen. Are we holding these coaches to too high of expectations? Quote Link to comment
