yea their D is pretty tough inside the key........ :WTH
HaHa!!! Are you being sarcastic? They really are. Take a look at the stats if you do not believe me. But they end up losing a lot because their D isn't capable of always making up for really, really crappy offensive progression. Well ... that is ... until we played them.
Oh well.

No, I don't think we should fire Callahan at this point. That could sink us further -- what couch would want to come to NU? Let's hope we can close strong on this recruiting class -- although I must admit it's going to be more difficult to accomplish this year.
I have believed in the past that we should give Callahan four or five years to see what he can do. But with the lack of improvement this year, he needs to show a lot more progress next year.
Examples:
1) At least two games games where they have over 200 yards rushing and over 200 yards passing.
2) At least a few games where the offense opens the game with a touchdown drive.
3) At least more than half the games where the defense stops the opponents' opening drives.
4) At least half the games we have the lead after the first quarter;
5) At least win seven games during the regular season.
6) At least only get dominated by great teams like USC and Texas, not by the likes of Missouri or Kansas.
If he fails to show this kind of progress next year, it's time for him to go.

If he doesn't win one of the last two games you won't hear me complaining if he get's fired. 5 wins two years in a row would be a disgrace.
Or the large picture: this staff never gets it done, and it takes years, if ever to regain its rightful place in college football. Mired in mediocrity, bottom of the barrel, no chance to make it out......NU doesnt have the advantages of ND, OU, Miami, USC, CU, UT, etc. etc. etc. When do we say enough is enough??
Dave, in all honesty, I like you, and you are not a dumb guy. However, in all of this, I have yet to see you at any time place any blame or responsibility for this mess on pud or billy c. Do you honestly feel that they are beyond reproach in this debacle and shouldnt shoulder some of the blame???
On a side note: I caught the last part of the Rome show, and he had nothing but great things to say about NU, Omaha, the fans...etc...talked about his tour stop and how great it was, how moving it was. He was dismayed at how far NU has fallen and what that means to us as fans :WTH

Wow Former. That is new. Telling someone that he isn't arguing correctly because he refuses to place blame. Interesting choice of tactics. Dave is making sense by honestly looking at the situation and just talking about facts. You seem to simply be interested in finding any way to place blame on someone. Maybe you should think about this yourself, man.

But the NFL only takes the dregs out of the college ranks. So lets see, coaching is more important or less. If only the stellar players are NFL quality then talent must not have anything to do with the game only coaching. Wait a minute, if talent is the key ingredient then coaching must be almost obsolete. Was that diatribe a perfect example of how people talk in circles. That is what some of theses post sound like to me IMO not that of the management.
Does it really matter what Jim Rose thinks, NO. How about Corso who listened to him before?????? Talking heads are maroons(the majority). They care about market share and ratings. That is their bottom line. Husker Nation is the important issue. That includes the players, coaches and fans. Thank you for flying with Husker Nation today, but please notice the Head Coach has put on the seat belt sign. For your safety please keep your belts securely fastened due to the possibility of turbulence ahead and a rough ride at times. :cheers
The only player opinions that are important are the current players. They are the ones on the field making the sacrifices. Support them not the media. The graduated players can say with pride they played at NU. If they are ashamed now then I feel sorry for them. What a skewed viewpoint they must have or just too full of themselves to think otherwise.

Former is right, the FACTS say someone is to blame for this mess. Just a matter of who to blame.
Ha! I could get into a whole side arguement about the nature of this country needing to find someone to blame when something goes wrong. But I wont. All I will say is this: blame time. Or history. There has never been a supreme dictator in all of human existance, and as much as football can, it mirrors this on the field. I know we always want to win, but we can't. Time brought down the Romans, and the British Empire, why are we so suprised that it brought donw us too? That isn't to say that the sport of football isn't more forgiving than that of historical civilization. Just try to focus on that aspect: there will come a time of comeuppance. Who knows, maybe we are just about to start some more streaks. I for one am excited to see.

And had they not fumbled the ball and won, your excuse would have been "they only won by luck because of a tipped pass"
What's your point?
