      First of all one has to remember times and eras have changed.  Devaney 
was not looking beyond Nebraska at his age and everyone knew that.  One 
cannot expect every coach to be that way.  People in Nebraska were really 
spoiled over the Devaney/Osborne era.  I'll guarantee you if TO was the 
average coach he would have moved on.  He could have made multiple times 
what he made at NU at another venue.  I can't be convinced Callahan is 
looking beyond NU.  He is not a young man either.




  An excellent example is Charlie Weiss at Notre Dame.  This is
> only his second year and he IS Notre Dame football now.


     Charlie is there because of his contract.  He hasn't done that great of 
job considering the last two years he has used Willingham's players.  If I 
was Charlie I would do the same thing.
