The_Big_Dowski Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Mike Sherman was hired the same month that Bill Callahan was fired by Nebraska. I distinctly remember thinking why in the hell would they go down the same path that we had just got through finishing. Both lasted 4 years, both were terrible in the beginning, made you believe they were good in the middle, and completly bombed their last seasons. BC was 5 games over .500 and Sherman finished at .500. Guys that are NFL guys first and then come to college just don't work. The same goes for alot of college guys going to the NFL.

LouisianaHuskerFan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I actually believe Sherman was a good college coach. He had really good teams at A&M, but they just couldn't finish games. A&M had at least 3 or 4 games this year where they should have won but they came out of halftime and looked really flat in the second half. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 If A&M had any sort of defense they would've been a top 15 team this year. The "Wrecking Crew" let them down in some big games this year: Okie State, Arkansas, Texas, and Kansas State. Quote Link to comment

He did coach in college for 10 years before the NFL. Most coaches seem to be either successful in the NFL or college, not both. Carroll's still under .500 with the Seahawks and sucked with the Jets. Great at USC though... Quote Link to comment

I think they're too stubborn to admit defeat and change coordinators/philosiphies to win games. Quote Link to comment

Singletary must have been an awful coach because their roster isn't much different than last year... Quote Link to comment

It does seem that most successful head coaches in one level haven't had alot of succesful in the other. Quote Link to comment

The_Big_Dowski Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 It would be interesting to see where Nebraska football would be if BC wasn't so stubborn about having Cosgrove as the defensive coordinator. He could score points, but our defense had to be one of the worst defenses of all time for a top 10 college football program. Quote Link to comment
