Pitiful Coaching Begets Embarrassing Press
Jim Reeves of the DFW Star-Telegram unloaded on Nebraska’s inept head coach in his post-game report.
As Nebraska coach Bill Callahan spoke in the postgame news-conference tent immediately following the Cotton Bowl on Monday, police sirens whined in the background, coming closer and closer.
Some Cornhusker fan, I figured, must have turned the coach in for malfeasance and total incompetence, and they were coming to take him away.
Then again, if he’d really been smart, the disgruntled fan would have made that call before the game.
Callahan spent most of Monday’s AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic making Al Davis look like a genius for firing him as the Raiders’ head coach three years ago.

Great blogging, Bugeater. As you also mentioned in your previous post, the numbers just don’t add up. 15 losses in only 3 years is not mediocrity, it is indeed pitiful. Plus if you consider how bad the Big 12 North is, it’s an even worse performance. I agree that Al Davis now looks like a genious. So does Matt Millen next to Steve Pederson, who’s probably too arrogant to admit that he made a horrible mistake in not hiring a true Husker who understands both the football and non-football tradition of Nebraska, and most importantly the University, the residents of Lincoln and all the teams’ fans throughout the State and region. Pederson and Callahan seem to be all about themselves, and their collective “joined-at-the-hip” record speaks for itself.
