Bill Callahan is it I hear.

Press conferance later today.

How much success do you think Callahan is going to have? It could be tough trying to install a west coast offense with the players that they have right now. Nebraska has been run and option- oriented for quite a while.

The one advantage he has is his NFL ties. Players ultimately want to play on Sundays he has that connection. Pete Caroll and Dennis Erickson are/were successful coaches coming from the pros to the college ranks. It is a good hire IMHO but Nebraska won't return to the glory years of Osborne. Oklahoma, Texas and K-State are going to be the powers of the Big 12, not Nebraska, for the next few years.

I don't think Callahan will be tweaking the offense much... if the Raiders veterans couldn't understand his new schemes I doubt the 'Huskers can.

Hrothgar · 01-08-2004, 08:32 PM

It is a very weird fit to me. I hope it works out because I think Callahan got hosed in Oakland.

I'm betting Nebraska will be looking for a new coach in 3 to 4 years. It just doesn't seem like a good fit to me.

The_Dude · 01-09-2004, 02:01 PM

he said that he is immediately gonna install a west coast offense there.

it sure will be fun to watch.

At least nebraska will finally start passing the ball...

I'm from Arkansas, and they apparently offered our Houston Nutt $2 million to coach there. He didn't take it of course. Loyalty and job security are important motivations. Would you want a job where you could get fired for going 8-4? I sure wouldn't.

Word, and calahan probably wont have to much trouble winning because no team in the big 12, kansas state and OU included play any damn defense.
