BoNeyard Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Lets see if I made this poll correctly. I always saw Callahan as the guy who ran the program into the ground. I didn't speak of his name when referring to his tenure at Nebraska. I knew many Husker fans who banned his name from their vocabulary. There is no question Callahan was the worst coach at Nebraska in the modern day of this program. But here we are at 3-5 in Riley's first year and it feels more gasoline is being poured on the dumpster fire. I don't see hope at all in the near future, and for the first time since 2007 I am looking forward to college football season being over, and forgetting about this year completely. What I am seeing and feeling in Riley's first year is what I felt in Callahan's last year. Which begs the question...Right now who would you want as Nebraska's head coach? Bill Callahan or Mike Riley. I NEVER EVER thought I would EVER want Callahan to be the head coach of Nebraska again....but after seeing this, I felt like I had more hope in Callahan than I do Riley.

BoNeyard Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I really disliked Callahan. But in comparing these two, I had hope going into each Nebraska season under Callahan that it was going to be his breakout year and everything was going to click. Heck, even each game I was hoping it was going to be the game that turned the program around. We all know that never happened. With Riley, I don't have that hope. Maybe it is because he is 62, a career coaching record of sub .500. The fact he came into a program loaded with talent compared to his former program and we have lost to bad teams that we are simply better than man-man. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Which crap would you rather eat? o Dog crap o Cat crap LOL I do enjoy a good chuckle, and reading all about the Huskers these days is hard to find much to laugh about but this one is funny! Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 The fact Callahan has 5 votes is astonishing and says a lot.. Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If Callahan had a decent defensive coordinator, he might still be the coach. Like him or not, his offense put up points and numbers. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The fact Callahan has 5 votes is astonishing and says a lot.. No, it doesn't. It says of a bunch ridiculous, rash and whimpering fans would rather play hindsight. Just another example of Husker fans choosing to place their interests in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment

"F*cking hillbillies." -Bill Callahan Yeah, that guy really was a good fit for Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If Callahan had a decent defensive coordinator, he might still be the coach. Like him or not, his offense put up points and numbers. If Bo Pelini had a decent defensive coordinator, he might still be the coach, too. If Mike Riley is given either the four or seven seasons Callahan and Pelini had, we might be able to make a legitimate comparison. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The second year, Callahan posted 8W and 4L. The following year, 9W and 5L. The fourth year, 5W-7L. Riley second year? .... see 2016 schedule ..... killer schedule. BTW, too early to Bill or Mike poll Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If Mike Riley is given either the four or seven seasons Callahan and Pelini had, we might be able to make a legitimate comparison. There is a reason Pelini had 7 seasons. There is a reason Riley might not get 3. My guess is you're familiar with Osborne's quote about surviving a losing season....... Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Callahan recruited his balls off to Nebraska. His biggest demise was that he refused to let Cosgrove walk. Imagine Nebraska in 2009/10 with Callahan as head coach and Pelini as Defensive Coordinator. 1 Quote Link to comment
