I can't let this slide.  No... Bob is making the only sense I am reading on this train of thought.  As much as I loved the staff at Nebraska, the standard approach is for a coach to bring his own staff.  Especially when everybody on the Nebraska program were part of an offensive philosophy of football that is different.  How do you bring in a new approach with coaches that have lived option football for years.  They are going to have to go through as much transition as the team is.  That only hurts the transition.  I can't fault Callahan at all.  His job is to win and to win as soon as possible.
 
I say that, even though I had major reasons why so many of the coaches were my all time favorites.  They exemplified more than being good football coaches.  They were exemplary people who lived the best of Nebraska football.  Ron Brown, Gillespie, Turner Gill and others were at the top of the heap of integrity and principles.   It killed me to see them go.
 
But... reality is that these kinds of things are simply temporary.  They don't last forever.  We had one of the most amazing runs any program has ever had.  It was ""more than winning".  I think we should write a book with that title.  But we need to all grow up and put this in perspective.  It was great, but couldn't last forever.  Now we move on and support the program we have, with some patience.

That you keep saying this over and over is no more convincing than
saying it once. How you would "feel" is pretty irrelevant. How
successful the coaching staff has been is very relevant (except,
evidently, to you and Steve Pederson). (And, yes, I know you'll
post saying the same thing again because you always do.)
