I wish Callahan was still our HC

[JJ Husker]

Here's some really simple stats for CactusboyOG's obtuse point of view.

The 4 years preceding BC, Frankie was 38-14 for a .731 win% (Frank was .756 over his 6 years)

The 4 BC years 27-22 for a .551 % (I'm not sure if you call that a win percentage or a lose percentage)

The 4 years after BC, Bo is 38-16 for a .704 %

And, just as a point of reference for the program, TO was 255-49-3 for an .836 and never won fewer than 9 games.

So, as you can plainly see 1 of these 4 doesn't belong in any rational conversation about who would be a better HC.

I think it can be successfully argued that; Frank was slightly trending downward going from .756 over 6 years to .731 his last 4 years, the BC years were nothing short of abysmal, and the Bo years have been steady 4 loss years but, coming out of the BC funk, actually rather impressive. No 5-6, 8-4, 9-5, or 5-7 records in there for Bo. Bo has had a better record every single year. Is it about time to start improving on 4 losses? Yes it is but, pining for the Callahan days? Really?

Talk about obtuse.

FS inherited a program coming off of 3 NCs in 4 years...he pissed that away about as fast as humanly possible.

BC inherited an average program at the time and installed his new offense which was polar opposite.

(FS hit the ground running w/ the same offense on a program running on all cylinders...BC didn't have those luxuries.)

Yeah, you're probably right. Once you go 3 for 4 NC's, you can reasonably expect that to continue forever. According to your logic, Frank inherited a 9-4 team because that's what they did in 1998. BC is the one who changed the offense and you want to blame Frank for that? BC didn't have any of your so called "luxuries" because he was too busy dismantling anything that resembled Husker football. How is that anyones fault other than his own?

Frank went 10-3 in 2003, Bill came in the very next year and went 5-6 in 2004 and had "improved" by his 4th year to 5-7 in 2007. That's your evidence that BC was a good coach but it was all Frank's fault? :facepalm: Obtuse is saying you want Callahan back as HC even though there is not one shred of evidence that BC did anything except destroy this program. Obtuse is blaming Frank for the 4 horrid years BC was here even though his worst year was his last. Obtuse is saying you want to replace a coach who has gone 9-4 or 10-4 for 4 years with one who never accomplished anything approaching that. Before .756, During .551, After .704. Lather, rinse, repeat. You think the cupboards were bare when BC took over? What did Bo inherit, especially on the defensive side? This is a total waste of time. You're either being obstinate on purpose or it is impossible for a rational thought to enter your mind. You can wish for BC all you want, luckily the rest of Husker nation will never let you realize your dream. If they do, I'll be chanting Go Buffs on Saturday's. You're excused.

The problem seems to be we won't spend money on our coaches. Anyone know why that is? Why are we not even the top 20 for average pay of assistant coaches? maybe we should spend less on sky boxes and more on coaches...

Yes because all of the extra income off those sky boxes is a stupid idea... Even though over $40 million of it was raised through private donation... Edit: meh just forget about it... Its Friday.. Time for a martini of some sort, then argue with Carlfense about silly crap in the politics forum during the off season...

Donations so we can hire top notch coaches sounds like a possible better idea to me.

HAHAAHA Wow... Are you kidding me?... Lets do some simple math.. We are adding 2500 club seats, and last I checked it was 2500 per/year/seat just to get your foot in the door for the club level (I am sure its more now)... So 2500x2500=$6,250,000.00 in EXTRA income per year, just from the club, plus the income from the sky boxes... On another note, last I heard, the money to pay seven figures was open to Bo on certain DC canidates... You wanna spend fine, but we should make sure to have the cash coming in from as many people as possible, that way we dont get beholden to a few who can then demand changes...

Had he been able to I would bet my house on our program being in better shape now.

I'm just glad you still have the place.

You just throwing crap against the wall and putting words in my mouth now.

I never said it was fair to expect NCs at that same pace or at any pace. I pointed out the situations that each coach inherited. Only a fool would try to say that doesn't matter. Your comment about "so called 'luxuries'" makes zero sense.

Never said it was FS' fault for BC changing the offense. We knew what we were getting in an offense when BC was hired. You can't expect him to coach something that he doens't know. Would you exptect TO to coach the fun and gun had he gone to Florida after Spurrier?

Didn't blame FS for how well BC did as a coach either...just stated the facts.

what did Bo inherit? Is that a serious question? Maybe you should go over the starting D lineups of 08, 09, 10 before go forward on that.

The rest of your reply is just ramblings and rantings.

Let's cut through the BS. The point is we pay our coaches poorly compared to other top programs. We aren't even in the top 20 in this. I think this reflects in the quality of coaches we have and can get. I'd like to know why we don't or can't pay more so we are at least in the top 15.

[huKSer]

I for one, would really like the Huskers to rehire Callahan

I for one would really like the Badgers to rehire Cosgrove

If I was taking a beating this severe, I would go hide. The fact that you continue to post says something. Hang in there Glass Joe.
