If Callahan leaves,what next?

If Callahan and Pederson lost their jobs would you rather a new AD hire another coach(not necessarily better) to continue the WCO? Or would you rather a new AD hire a disciple(not necessarily better) of the option to bring back the running-attack? I think I would prefer bringing in a coach to run the ball down the throats of all our opponents.

Definitly a running coach, can't stand to watch this weenie passing game. Doesn't have to be the option just a strong running attack. I do think the option can work just fine if you got a coach that knows what he's doing. I honestly think frank and barney had the offense coming in that we needed. I look at isu's and ohio's offense and like what plays they are running.

 
another coaching change is all the program needs... :sarcasm

wat it needs is some stability in time for a coach that will succeed eventually

in a time in college football where improving on the field not on the scoreboard doesnt cut it, it would be nice to see a program like nebraskas break that trend and keep their present coaches

ya that year off for solich to go around to teams and develop new plays was really good for him... w/ the players, his offense could be great

 
dedhoarse dedhoarse dedhoarse Cally is going nowhere. He has four years left on a six year contract. NU isn't buying out any more contracts soon.

He will get more time, probably at least two-three (maybe all four) years. He will get things turned around in that time.

Patience Grasshopper!!

If you're not improving on the scoreboard, you're obviosly not improving on the field. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. It doesn't matter how you get them. There's not going to be a " * " next to a loss that says "Oh but you could see a definite improvement" or one next to a W that says "They should have lost that game." In reality it would be nice to keep the same coach forever (win or lose) but it just doesn't happen.

Name one that would drop whatever job they are at to come here in this mess if Pud fires Callahan that you would consider "a good coach". :thumbs

Prime example of why people are bitching. They just can't get over the fact that this isn't the 20th century anymore and that you need a passing game to go along with a rushing game.

Did you even bother to look at which teams are in the top25 of rushing this year? Here's some NCAA stats of teams in the top25 in rushing offense and whether they are ranked in either AP/Coaches poll.

1-Minnesota-Not ranked

2-Navy-Not ranked

3-Texas-Ranked

4-Memphis-Not ranked

5-Arkansas-Not ranked

6-USC-Ranked

7-Airforce-Not ranked

8-California-Not ranked

9-La Lafeyette-Not ranked

10-West Virginia-Not ranked

11-Texas A&M-Not ranked

12-Toledo-Not ranked

13-Penn St-Ranked

14-South Florida-Not ranked

15-Boise St- Not Ranked

16-Wash St-Not ranked

17-Mich St- Not ranked

18-New Mexico-Not ranked

19-Arkansas St- Not ranked

20-Rice-Not ranked

21-Auburn-Ranked

22-Wake Forest- Not ranked

23-Missouri-Not ranked

24-Louisville-Not ranked

25-Ohio-Not ranked

Do you see a trend in this list from teams that are from conferneces like the WAC, MAC, Sun Belt? How many teams from the powerhouses on that top25 do you see? Texas and USC are in the top10, but can anyone argue that those teams are loaded with talent? USC has Bush and Lendale white. Guys who will go in the first round of the NFL draft and 100% bet they are top10 picks. Texas has the same situation, to much talent drafted, but not only do they have a QB who can beat the hell out of you with his feet, he can PASS. Penn St is having a good year and the last time they were in the top25 was in 2002 and that's when they had guys who could rush like say Larry Johnson who burned us and was a 2nd round draft pick and Michael Robinson this year who is a milder version of Vince Young in the running department but excels in passing (8 yard shy of 2,000 yards passing)

Where is Oklahoma, Miami, Florida St, UCLA, LSU, Notre Dame, Georgia, Florida, or Ohio St on that list? If Rushing was the popular, then why are they not in the top25? There's only so much you can do rushing the ball and these teams figured it out, sadly enough, our fans still think rushing a ball down teams throat like the old days is possible. IT'S NOT

Interesting stats. But again I think it is naive and presumptuous to say that running the ball doesn't work anymore. The stats you listed aren't as cut a dried as it seems. The unranked teams that you listed in the top 25 in the nation in rushing average 40th in the coutry in scoring. Could be better, but definitely not the stagnant offenses you would think. I know I would love for us to be 40th in scoring this year. So what's the difference between the ranked and unranked rushing leaders? The ranked teams averge 13th in total defense while the unranked teams average 71st. So an analysis of the top rushing teams in the country shouldn't yield the conclusion that 'running the ball doesn't work', it should yield the conclusion 'don't have a crappy defense if you want to be ranked'.
