How dysfunctional were we?

Sporting News has us as one of the top 5 teams on the rise, however, this quote was absolutely alarming.

"How bad was the dysfunction? Consider this anecdote:

Former coach Bill Callahan was obsessive about his offense; he made the game plan and called the plays. Sources say before the Texas game -- and at the height of Nebraska's failures -- Callahan let his assistants build the game plan and said he wouldn't call one play.

After the first series, Callahan not only called every offensive play, he called the defensive sets, too. The Huskers gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and lost, 28-25. Then they allowed 172 points over their final three games."

Reading that makes Bill Callahan sound quality to me.

 
I heard that about the Texas game on 1620 earlier this week. More and more keeps getting released about how questionable some of Callahan's methods and practices were.
