I could list numerous reasons for why I disliked Callahan, but somebody 
already wrote that book - 
http://www.amazon.com/Nebraska-Way-Jonathan-Crowl/dp/0595710581/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322497766&sr=8-1.

I had to sit through enough blowouts during the Callahan error, listen 
to enough excuses during press conferences, and pay enough in donation 
money to cover his buyout that I couldn't care less what your friend's 
impression of BC was.  By your own logic, you are no more qualified to 
discussion Callahan's likability than anyone else since you never met 
him personally.

BC isn't the reason we're a 2nd tier team today, but at least we are not 
a 4th tier team like we were under his reign of terror.
