[Husker] Announcement

[Baseballguy]

     I am little surprised the list is this dead with the announcement of the
     morning.  The announcement was pretty much expected.  Some of the things
     TO said I found really interesting.  One thing revealed fans expectations
     around the team when Osborne mentioned that after the Astro-Bluebonnet
     Bowl in 1976 a booster had told TO if he had lost that game he would have
     been fired.  TO's record that year?  It was 9-3-1.  His three previous
     years were 10-2, 9-3, and 9-2-1.  No wonder the boosters were livid with
     Callahan.  I have also made the statement that no matter how good of man
     TO is/was he wouldn't have survived without winning football games.  The
     statement in the press conference today saying he realized during his
     coaching career if he would have a losing record he wouldn't have kept
     his job.
 
 
     All that aside the Callahan era is over and the search for a new coach
     begins.  I thought one question in the press conference was very
     interesting.  That being when addressing Osborne, "how attractive is the
     NU job to a prospective coach"?  TO said he wasn't sure but it might be
     more attractive after 5-7 than it was after 9-3.  I, personally, don't
     think you will find candidates just line up at TO's door.
