BC wasn’t going to make his players available to the press this week, but I guess an exception can be made for the California Kid. I mean he is hurt, and Public Television isn’t really “the press.”

According to Lincoln Journal Star, Sam Keller spoke quite highly of the coaches as a guest on NET’s “Big Red Wrap-Up” on Tuesday.

“I came here and I do things good, but I had to learn that system. Joey is a master at that system, a complete master,” Keller said. “He showed you what this offense is capable of. He shows you how good of a coach (Bill) Callahan is and how hard him and (offensive coordinator Shawn) Watson work to put together these game plans.

“He cares so much,” Keller said. “The way I see Coach Callahan, I have so much respect for him, and what he does and how hard he works, and the opportunity that he extended to me to come play for him.

“He’s made me a better quarterback, and I think for that matter, a better person. Because I think sometimes they go hand-in-hand, honest to God.”

It’s well known that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Good coaching, on the other hand, is not. That’s not to say BC isn’t a good mentor to his QBs. But, there’s mounting evidence his positive influence falls off sharply when it comes to everyone else.
