[Husker] Texas Makes A Hire

[Robert Christensen]

I believe we have a quality staff that will put the Husker Program on a 
firm footing and move it in the right direction.  There is a BIG 
difference between having a quality staff in place and adding one 
coordinator to the mix like Texas did and having a poor staff in place 
and having to replace 6 or 7 coaches.  The comparisons we should be 
making is the actions of mr. pederson in dismantling a program that had 
been adjusted and appeared to be moving in the right direction with the 
actions forced on Dr. Osborne in rebuilding that dismantled program.  It 
may be premature to make a definitive judgment.  However I am way more 
comfortable with the direction we are headed now compared to the 
direction that the Pederson/Callahan/Cosgrove were preparing to take us 
4 years ago.

GBR,

Bob
