Cosgrove must be a very likable guy in the football world.  After all, 
he got the Nebraska job through his friendship with Callahan.  I think 
his case is a textbook example of "it's not what you know, but who you 
know." 

My understanding is that most of the players like him, but it's seems 
they like him as a "buddy" more than as a coach.  I don't get the 
impression that the players would take a bullet for him like most would 
have for Cosgrove.  (Yes, that's a metaphor).  They may want to go have 
a beer with him, but they don't seem to put it all on the line for him.  
I'm sure he could be succesful in another environment.  You needn't look 
farther then Craig Bohl to see an example.  However, he is never going 
to cut it at Nebraska.
