[Husker] Dailey

[Steve Reichenbach]

I agree that Dailey did improve, even if not as fast as we'd like or
he'd like.  I think that at least a couple of the late season losses
(Colorado and Iowa State) were the principally the result of coaching
mistakes, but many fans tend to blame the quarterback for a team
losing.  NU's record last year had more to do with the defense and
coaching than Dailey.  It seems funny to me that many of the same
people who think Callahan should get 4-5 years to get things going
aren't willing to give Dailey even a full season before writing him
off.  The terrible attitude of many NU fans about Dailey is the same
terrible attitude that they demonstrated toward Jamal Lord.  I used to
think more highly of NU fans than I do after the last three years.
