Shaun Watson can recruit

[Enhance]

Shawn Watson. Good at getting talent here? You could say that. Good at developing talent here? That's the million dollar question.

BC never got his quarterbacks to stick around longer than two years...so who knows

Personally, I think Pelini will stay put at Nebraska for many, many years to come. One thing Nebraskans want is to have someone that is a winner, they will support a winner. I don't see Pelini actually wanting to leave, once he builds the program to where he wants it to be. The only thing that could change that is when Osborne leaves as AD, if he got someone in that he just didn't like personally, then he might look to leave. But then again, I think the fans would boot an unpopular AD in a heartbeat to keep a loved and respected coach.

i would be surprised if they got an AD without BO's consent.

Wait. Now it's BC's fault that Harrison Beck left?

 

I don't really think so...

 

Beck had his own issues.

 

And Ganz stuck with us. Don't really mind that Taylor was here only 2 years; that was out of everyone's control. The only option would have been to not bring him in, and I'm sure NONE of us regret that.

I don't know why we started Keller over Ganz though. Ganz was clearly better and instantly improved our offense once Keller got hurt. I think Callahan or Watson messed up big time by playing Keller over Ganz.

This has been discussed many times, but Keller was 'clearly' better in practices, but couldn't command the team like Ganz did. Guys just played harder for Ganz, and Ganz was also in the zone during gametime - a real 'gamer.' That's the rare-ish kind of thing you don't really see on the practice field. Heck, the last few games of that year were just shootouts with no defense on either side, and Ganz threw a bunch of interceptions. There was a LOT of improvement in Ganz from that year to the next IMO. So Ganz gave us a 'spark', but it wasn't because he was a better QB. When Keller won the job, he won it fairly and the coaches, including Watson, said the race it was close. Back then, it was 'clear' to everyone that the coaches were just paying Ganz some lip service, making him feel better about himself so he wouldn't transfer.

I watched Keller play and Ganz play and to me it was obvious Ganz was more talented that year. Maybe your right about the practice but the way Keller was playing I would have thought they would have at least given Ganz some looks like we did with Cody Green this year. Ganz only had one single pass attempt before the Texas game which would explain his high amount of INT's. Maybe it was just a bad practice for Keller but at a practice I watched they had all the QB's throwing and Keller threw two interceptions and the rest of the QB's didn't throw any. It was also obvious that Ganz could get the ball down the field better than Keller. Maurice Purify got half of his yards and 2/3 of his touchdowns in the 3 games Ganz started. I think not starting Ganz over Keller was the 2nd worst decision Callahan made (the first being not getting rid of Cosgrove).

i know Beck had his issues, but callahan couldn't get any of the other big recruits at qb to stay committed to nebraska...and i thought ganz committed to solich...then decided to stay way callahan became coach...just sayin'
