Callahan's Monday Comments
Husker coach Bill Callahan just got done answering questions at Monday's Big 12 Coaches Teleconference.
The first question asked of him: At this point, after what happened at Kansas, is there any reason to believe you're going to be back at Nebraska?
After a nine-second pause, the answer: "Yes, the thing I would say that. I'm going to let the powers that be make those decisions. All I'm going to do is prepare our team for Kansas State and do the best I can. I think that's all any coach can do, is do the best he can with the situation he's in. That's what we're trying to do."
The second question asked of him: Has anyone from the university come and asked for a resignation?
Answer: "You know what, I respect your question, but those are issues that I would have to defer right now to the higher-ups. Again, the situation is very disappointing for us and we're working through it the best we can. It's one of those years we just haven't performed to the standard we want to perform at, so I'll let the higher-ups and whoever the decision-makers are make those decisions."
A call was made to the "higher-ups."
Randy York, associate athletic director for communications, said Tom Osborne is still evaluating this coaching staff to season's end, just as he said he would from the beginning.
"Tom Osborne believes in keeping his word," York said. "He's a strong believer in integrity. He said what he's going to do and he's not going to devieate from that. When he says something, he means it."
An out-of-state journalist asked Callahan how he handles all these tough questions that are coming at him right now.
Callahan's answer: "I just think you have an inner strength. I kind of count on the Lord in that respect. That's were I derive my strength from. I think that's where most Christian people do. You just trust the Lord and you go forward and that's all you can do. I'm a firm believer of that, have always been, and will continue to be."
