Jack Platte Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Nebraska is in danger of losing that blue blood status for good. An average Big Ten team, years on end, is not a blue blood. Today's blue chips weren't even born last time Nebraska was relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment

luckyduck Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 At this point I like Callahan way more than Riley. (I think). Both sucked, but I think Callahan was the better recruiter. I also have to think Riley was hired solely because his personality was the polar opposite of Pelini. 1 Quote Link to comment

Callahan's teams could score points too. It was his D that got him canned. Quote Link to comment

No. He did not know squat about coaching college players, he had too much hubris and his teams work did not match their sense of entitlement. Forcrying outloud one year he had the team go without padding up and tackling all the way up until the USC game. News flash Bill this isnt the NFL. College playersneed to practice hitting. indicative of how clueless he was. No one like that would still be here. Edited November 5, 2017 by dvdcrr Quote Link to comment

They would have scored a lot more if Callahan knew his b#tt from a hole in the wall. He actually hurt the team by sitting Gantz in favor of Keller Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Mike Riley's being hired by Nebraska is actually worse than Charlie Weiss being hired by Notre Dame Quote Link to comment
