A lot of Husker fans right now ( and for that matter ever since January 3, 1998) have not been happy with any situation the Husker s have gotten themselves into. I was there at Solich's debut, and was there his last game in Lincoln. Two things stand out. His debut against LA tech, Tim Rattay gored the defense for about 380 yards passing. (And that was with St. Charlie McBride) his swan song at MEmorial was a happy little a$$ whipping, courtesy of KSU, where would-be savior Bo Pelini got exposed.
THe bottom line is this Solich was never universally loved. HE was screwed the minute he took the job and sealed his fate when he drove to Omaha, begged Eric Crouch to come back (!) Way to show who's boss Frankie, the team and staff gradually tuned him out, and our run came to an end.
And for everyone who hates Callahan and wants Solich that, I wish I could take a poll on his popularity when CU and Miami made us look foolish, and the Jammal Lord Expierence put us where we were now. Face it, if SOlich could recruit worth a sh#t, and would have played less favorites, I would have never had to watch Lord run a QB Keeper offense attack, or see coaches race across the field after a blowout to b!^@h about running the score up on his team. To me, that will always be rock bottom.
Bottom line, I like Callahan, I think he can turn this team around, if given the chance. If he gets canned this year or even two years from now, then we will have only 5 wins a year for awhile. THere is no one out there to take over this job. Urban Meyer is taken, there are no more Patriots coordinators, and while Wannestedt may be availiable after this week, he could be the worst coach in the history of football. ANd most importantly, myopic husker fans.... Osborne ain't coming back.
THis team is slowly improving this year, lets see how it plays out.
