The Callahan Bashing Spreads to Big 12 Rivals
Derek Weinbrenner, writing for OU’s OUDaily believes Husker’s Callahan is Ruining Nebraska’s Tradition.
“OU fans have no reason to hold disdain for Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan after two straight victories against him. But he must be ditched for the sake of college football and Nebraska’s integrity.
After losing his Oakland Raiders job following an abysmal 4-12 season, Nebraska decided Callahan was its man. How did it come to that conclusion?
He took the Raiders to the Super Bowl, but then completely lost the magic. He was not on the rise then and has only fallen since.
He has done nothing for Nebraska but make it look like a horse’s ass.”
While we have our issues with the coaching staff, I still believe the fundamental problems with the program start in the AD’s office. Calling for coaching changes is wasted breath until changes are made at the root of the issue, else the problems will continue.

I agree, the integrity of Nebraska football is already lost, along with the traditions that have been built with pride by the school, players and fans. It,s hard for me to believe, the same person that evaluated a 10-3 team in one year and determined it was a total train wreck, can say, like I’m stupid “don’t worry about the scoreboard, I can see the improvments on the practice field” after 2 years and expect me to eat this up. I watch the games and read the stats.I’m not a football coach, but still able to detemine that this level of football will not win any championships.
