     I agree.  I think Callahan coming from the NFL would shape his thoughts in a different direction than your traditional college coach.  I know I am alone here but I have always been of the opinion that tradition is overrated.  Some traditions are okay but some at times need to go or be changed.  Because of that feeling I'm sure I have less concern with whether or not Callahan honors storied Husker tradition than most fans would.
