[Husker] Let there be Peace on Earth, and Let it begin with me

[Kenneth McKillip]

I disagree with you here Steve.  I don't think you could find another "Urban
Meyer level (Utah)coach" that would come to Nebraska.  This is the program
that fired a 10-3 staff after 11 months on the job, improved recruiting, and
greatly improved record from previous year - and a head coach with massive
program ties and an outstanding record of accomplishment (you listed them
last week).

Good coaches have to many options.  I think both Pearlman and Pederson would
also have to be gone and a heritage Husker would have to takeover as AD
(read BD/TO/FS loyalist).  The alternative is a fractured fan base.  Even
then it would be a tough sell.

If OU fired Stoop's for the recent inconsistency who would they be able to
fire.

I agree.  I thought Solich was poorly treated and was glad to see Ohio
whip Pitt, but I can't imagine wanting the Huskers to lose this game or
do badly in the future.  Likewise, I can't imagine why Pederson seemed
unhappy after Solich's last win (unless he was worried that it made
firing Solich more difficult).

I agree that things seem to be improving.  I'm sure Callahan is learning
about being the head football coach of college team with fans who have
very high expectations.  I hope he is making the adjustments that will
lead to more success than he had last year.

> I don't think Callahan will go anywhere for at least 3-4  years.

I disagree.  If Callahan doesn't improve on last year, he won't be here
3-4 more years.  For example, if NU loses 2 of the next 3 or goes 6-5
or worse for the year, there will be high pressure for some changes.
If it continued next year, I think there would be a change, perhaps
at AD and head football coach.  I think two more bad years (including
thie year) is all that would be tolerated, before there would be a
change.

I disagree here too.  I think NU is a great opportunity and there are
many coaches who would love the challenge.  For example, many would
consider Glenn (Wyoming) an attractive candidate with a good resume.
NU could attract even more prominent candidates.
