Not that I want a long debate over it - I'm not interesting in

A better coach than Callahan - Yes!  A better coach than Solich - No.

Regarding character, I hesitate to pass judgement on a person's 
character without a lot of evidence, but I can't see Pelini having a 
better character than Solich.  And while I don't like his coaching, I 
don't know of anything to make me consider Callahan a person of bad 
character.
