[Husker] CoachCallahan.com is no more

[Tommy Thompson]

I have to agree with "Sue" on this one.  SP did well in many areas, and if 
the football team had gone at least 9-3, with losses only to USC, TX, and 
Missouri, he would still be here.  Face it...football is king at the 
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  (not that I mind, however)

On a corollary note, how much has Tom Osborne taken an interest into the 
other programs?  Has he spoken with the Head Coaches of the other 
departments, and if so, has he laid down any expectations for them, just as 
he did for the Football program?

Someone on the list mentioned that SP was fired, not because of the Football 
program, but rather because of the atmosphere he created.  Besides "healing" 
the wounds of the Football season, how has he fostered a better working 
atmosphere for the entire athletic department?
