[Husker] Some somments

[Scott R Lawson]

I posted that original comment because I'm sick of people comparing Callahan to Solich, so I thought I would get a little dig in on the person who made yet another veiled comparison before I responded. Tiring, isn't it?

The 1998 team was roughly 20% Solich recruited and coached (assuming a 
red shirt year for each player)
1999 - 40%
2000 - 60%
2001 -  80%
2002 - 100%
2003 - 100%
None of those teams had as many problems giving pass protection or 
rushing the ball as the current Husker team (and only one failed to win 
9+ games).

This does NOT mean that the current problems show Calahan to be a worse 
coach than Solich.  Calahan may turn out to be a great coach and there 
are several other possible explanations for the team's current 
problems.  But blaming Solich makes no sense and I find the persistence 
of the myth that Solich couldn't recruit quite frustrating (especially 
given the analysis - posted by someone else - that basically refuted 
that charge).  Can't we support whichever coach is our favorite without 
tearing down the other one?
