You get an ex-Sooner coach and we get one of yours. Blake (a decent recruiter,but horrible coach) will be in Lincoln. Let's look at his stay at OU after the 1996 campaign (his first year) and see how he did. In 1997, he had a smoking record of 2-6 in conference, 4-8 overall including a close 69-7 loss to Nebraska. in 1998, with a ton of talent, Blake led the Sooners to a record of 5-6. The teams OU beat that year: Baylor, North Texas, ISU, TCU, and TTech (before TCU and Tech were any good). We played in (0) bowl games under him and lost to Bob Simmons's OSU Cowboys (a real powerhouse then) in each of these years (30-7 in Norman). Pelini, the best coach on your staff and reason for your 10-3 record (probably 7-6 again without his Defense) will now be on our sideline in November when the Huskers come into town. I truly feel for the great fans of NU. We went thru the bad years when we needed the big name coach (Schnellenberger) and the pro coach (Blake). You could have had the less profiled coach good coach (like Stoops when he came to OU) Pelini, but instead Steve-O needed the big name loser (Callahan). I'll check back in the middle of next season when your players are hanging Callahan over a bridge after he calls them a bunch of stupid idiots. Hey, I just thought of something, If you guys keep Pederson and Texas keeps Mack Brown, we are in good shape. Later-----
