The logical part of my brain tells me you are correct. The rest tells me it can't get any worse and we should roll the dice on a new D coord.

Great suggestion!!!! That's what we need is a coach on the sidelines (especially on defense) that is going to get into the games and get the defense fired up. USC has a great defense and I would have to think he would help us out a lot. We can't get much worse. I'll tell you this much you better have the paramedics standing by at Memorial next weekend when I go to the ISU game because if it turns out like this last game I'm going to have a f'ing stroke!!!

If we do fire somebody, The replacement will be someone who's had connections with Callahan in the past, so we probably wont get any of the mentioned people here..
Ball state scored just about every time they touched the ball. How much worse could it have been? They could have scored faster to make the game 83-82?

I don't agree with this. He might, but I think it's more probable he is the best choice regardless of ties.

How do you figure? Did Ted Gilmore or Buddy Wyatt have strong BC connections?
This I highly doubt.
Yes, the history here is outstanding. The fan base is second to none. The facilities are top notch. the university is wonderful and Lincoln is a great place to live. All these points scream out that the position should be attractive. But.... the situation here is unsettled. How long will Callahan last? For that matter, how long will Pederson last? These are open questions for which there is no answer --- yet they are questions and, as such, great risk comes with the position. If one were to take the position, then they may be gone within a year or two if Callahan continues to fail to produce. So.... it is doubtful that a high profile coach would be willing to move into the DC at seasons end at NU because a proven coach would not need to take such a risk. We might get a great person who is not proven though who is willing to move from a lower profile position at a non-major program and hope to carve out a good name for himself.
An alternative take is that it might be attractive for an up-and-comer who figures that they may have the inside track for head coach at NU were a head coaching change made within a year or two (or three).
Again, two more years of this level of competivness and the whole staff will go. So any coach coming here for a DC after this season better rent rather than own.

We seriously need to stop looking through rose colored glasses when it comes to Cosgrove. I agree that we don't have enough overall speed on defense, but the the players we have now should be good enough to hold Ball st. to under 600 yards of total offense. I see a defense right now that just isn't prepared and Cosgrove has to be blamed for that. This will be a big test for BC because I know he and Cosgrove are very good friends, but he has to see what's going on. Lets hope he does the right thing!

BOGASM! :rollin
It's been said plenty of times before...he apparently wanted the head coaching job or nothing. If you want to debate whether he would make a good head coach, go ahead and bogasm yourself to death. Otherwise, quit talking like he would have stayed here as DC.
