AD & Coaching Staff

[nebraskan-N-texas]

I would like to say one thing, we all can b!^@h and moan about our coaching staff and AD. However, until we stop having Top Recruiting Classes, Sold Out Games and 8-9 game winning seasons, nothing is going to happen to this coaching staff or AD.

Maybe if we have Alumni or Boosters speak up and donations begin tapering off the University my look at things. Until then, we need to support this and future Husker Teams under Bill Callahan and Staff.

I know that a majority of you are going to disagree and that is fine. This is my opinion so please take it what it is worth.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I stand behind the staff until a change is made and then I'll stand behind that staff. The Huskers will always be the Huskers to me. :thumbs

 

[Bugeater]

You're 100% correct. Just as long as everyone sees it for what it is.

While I agree with you to a certain extent, I think it's quite important to hold the AD and coaches accountable for what happens on the field.

I stand by my team, regardless of the coaching staff (well, maybe not if Spurrier or Neweasel were here) and I will always be a supporter of Nebraska Football.

HOWEVER, a few things need to be addressed. Why can't Callahan win against a rated opponent? Why can't he even have a team compete against a rated opponent? Why do we have a defensive coaching staff from the Big 11 that happily makes the once proud Blackshirts look like swiss cheese?

It is not "progress" when, even against a very talented USC football team with much better coaches, Memorial Stadium begins to clear out midway through the 3rd quarter because of a blowout.

I think his point was that You, me and that guy over there have little effect on "holding the AD and coaches accountable for what happens on the field."

The only tool you have is to not support the program any more.

Wow, you are quite the flamer. Let's see, am I correct in understanding that we should not express our displeasure in something unless we work for the University, or are a HUGE booster? That is the most unusual passive approach to life I have ever heard of.

Why can't we go to the games, support our players, wear red, scream loud and then if we don't like the direction of things complain? Why should we cheer when we win if we have to cheer all the time? It takes away from cheering if you just do it no matter what. Should we have cheered for 30 minutes on Sat when we were getting it handed to us? Just cheer anyway because they have an N on their helmet, and don't complain about Cosgrove?

That should get you really far in life. Keep the status quo. I am thankful for Lincoln, King Jr., Susan B Anthony, and many others who disagreed with that mind set.

 

[DaveH]

Sheesh, were just talking football here not political freedom. Let's not overstate things.

I think the idea is that some don't see the point. You can complain until you are blue in the face but the person making the decision isn't necessarily swayed by some guy's website.

Again, the only tool you have is to stop cheering, stop supporting the team, take your cash elsewhere. Beyond that, I'm not sure some see a point it getting all uppity about it.

Sheesh, and my point was you can. Things can change with persistent effort. And those were examples of changing massive issues with using your voice.

The point of getting uppity is that you want them to hear your voices, convince others to stand with you and create enough of a squeaky wheel to get noticed.

I don't do middle management and order taking. Good luck to you if anyone on this board does. I will be on an island waving my banner. Interesting point though, a lot of people have began chanting the same thing. Guess it is getting bigger and others think the same way. I heard it in the stands all game also. And leaving in the 3rd and 4th quarter did make a big statement.

 

[DaveH]

I never said you can't. Of course you can. You can do whatever you want. Doesn't mean others should see value in it.

I'm sorry, but comparing MLK and Abe Lincoln and what they did to what you are trying to do is ridiculous. Once again, we're talking about football. Not a larger humanitarian issue that actually means something to every American. And when I say "means something" I mean it effect's their basic civil and human rights. Not whether their favorite football team wins on Saturday. That's what I meant by overstating and I still mean it. I can't believe I just had to type that.

You hear all kind of retarded sh#t in the stands. That's not news. Leaving in the 3rd and 4th quarter goes towards my point. Don't support the team if you don't like it.

So, let's say for instance someone gets let go. Would you claim victory in your plight? Because to me, it'd probably be more coincidental than anything.

You have the right to start a website based on this concept, but I have the right to say that it is pointless and think it is a waste of time. The only way to do something that matters is to not go to games, not buy merchandise, etc. If you truly want to take a stand, that's what you have to do and get people to go with you, or find "boosters of substance" that think the same way you do to endorse your site or viewpoint. Either way, I think it is futile.

I've said alot about Coz this week and still think his progress or lack of should be evaluated and steps taken to improve the coaching staff.

As far as supporting the team??? I will always support the team. I enjoy every game because I love the Huskers period. Of course I get frustrated when I see something like last weekend but I will always support the team. If that means my voice won't be heard.... so be it. I believe Coach Callahan and Mr. Peterson are very intellegent people and will and do evaluate everything. To their credit, they do not make thier frustrations with players or coworkers public. You have to respect that. Or you have to like Prince's tactics. That isn't a one way door. I'm sure they have concerns.

Callahan said at the press conference that they need to work on the fundementals of being a defense. If you watched or heard it, he was pretty clear with his frustration and disapointment with this game and the defence. Didn't he say they needed to work on the mindset and the entire fundementals of being a defense? I think that is about as far as you should go publicly to state you are pissed about what happened. He runs a very structured system and you can't hide where problems are in any aspect of the coaching staff. We'll see what happens. I for one do not hold a D1 head coaching job, so, I don't pretend to understand all that surrounds and all it effects to rectify this situation. Infact I'm glad it isn't on my shoulders. I think anyone (or most) would fully agree with that.

Why can't Callahan win against a rated opponent? Why can't he even have a team compete against a rated opponent?

I'm pretty sure if Nunn hangs on to the f'ing ball last year, NU not only competes with a rated opponent, they beat one.

 

[TX-Husker-2011]

^ No use in talking about it with those people. They won't change their minds. They're oblivious to the great recruiting classes and the strides that team has made...and the potential to win out the rest of the season.

1-3 rather than 0-4 vs Top 10 teams? There's still a bad pattern there. Whatever he is doing to prep for these teams isn't quite getting it done. There will be breaks like that in games, players dropping balls, etc. Needing every single one of them to go your way to win isn't exactly a recipe for success.
