More players taken in the first round when the Huskers ran the option/multiple set offense with a slight emphasis on qb run and the power game.
I guess this is where we agree to disagree. The option is clearly not dead, please reference Virginia Tech, Minnesota, Texas, Kansas St (And before anyone jumps me, look at last season) and Utah. Seems to me, 3 of these teams played in a BCS bowl last year.
The WCO will take a lot more time than one season to implement. Everyone says NU was depleted in talent, didn't they have quite a few guys selected on Sunday that were recruited by Frank and his staff?

Seems to me that they dont run the same kind of offense that Nebraska did. I have said it in earlier threads. It is ok to have a mobile quarterback who can run the ball, even in a designed situation, 4 or 5 times a game, but you cant use the same long drawn out option play that is easy to recognize 20 times a game anymore. It was easy to do it when we had superior athletes, but now the option is used primarily as a gimick play and mostly from the shutgun. All of the teams you listed run it out of the shot gun and usually give the quarterback the option to pass. The plays develop much quicker because as soon as the defense recognizes the play, its all over man.

I'll wait and see. Callahan is maybe a better recruiter but he hasnt proved anything on the feld yet. Give it 4 years before we now if he is even a better recruter. I hope he turns out better. 2 years ago I would of thougt nobody called a worse game than Frank and nobody was a worse defense coordinater than BOhl. Now I dont know.
Based on what? His great recruiting?lol He made no adjustments last year, his defense was terrible, special teams were worse and his offense stunk. We got lucky to win 5 games and thats sad coming off a 10 win season where the defense was great and returned alot of fire power and the offense had quite abit back. His sayings were even worse.

Frank was fired for one reason and one reason alone. He failed to do what his boss told him to do. The number one thing in college football is recruiting. He was told over and over to focus on recuriting. Pederson did not care about upgrading the staff, he wanted a recruiter to bring in the talent. Frank felt wins were more important than recruiting. Franks main erro was misjuding his bosses desires.
If you go to the Ohio Boards you will hear how Frank is recruiting year around now. How they are using him as a recruiting tool. Frank learned his lesson I think. But he was just to stubborn to do what he was told. Many boosters wanted Frank gone for the very same reason. Embarassment at Texas, Kansas State and Missouri only deepend the gap between the big buck boosters and Frank. Had he put together a class like BC brought in he would have kept his job. Sales is the life blood of any business. He just did not comprehend that.
