Where will he be next year?

[husker_99]

we won 9 games including a bowl game this year we have 10 regular season wins, so if you are seriously asking if 10-2 is better than 9-5 the answer is yes.

My point is that # of wins does not = good coordinator. Only a momo would consider that I was asking if the 06 season was better than our current situation.

Secondly yes 9 wins is good enought to keep a cordinators job, but when you turn around the next year and go 5-7 and give up almost 40 points a game than we can discuss fire cordinators.

So we should wait until we lose 7 games before we take action? Do you think that Callihan would have bought himself a few more years if he had hired a good defensive coordinator? Callihan's ship went down so hard because he didn't have a D to keep him in games. If Pelini had been their DC during those years (not saying that was workable, but a Pelini-esque defensive mind) I think we'd still have ol' Bill and would probably have put together some solid seasons. Waiting until the ship is sunk to plug a leak isn't smart.

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong but if we lay an offensive egg against both Texas and OU during our last year in the B12 and then don't have a strong offensive performance in the whatever bowl we end up at... It'll be hard to say that we shouldn't at least look at what is available to upgrade the OC position.

Exactly. I don't think anyone hates Watson he has done this all by himself. He plays loser ball just like Callahan. When you play not to lose you end up losing the game most of the time.

If I recall, we got into a track meet or two this year. In fact, we had to score at least 6 TD's worth of points to win one of them.
