Optimism or not for 2008

As long as Calllllllahan is not the head coach, you can pencil in 8 wins and a bowl. No matter who takes the job the future is much brighter than it has been for 4 years.

 
I expect a decent year honestly. I don't think we will move to a completely different system. I can see pretty much the same offense, maybe move a bit more towards a spread type offense but thats it. Our defense should be worlds better, with a Dline thats all returning starters and a better D-Coordinator. I forsee an 8-4 type season honestly.

 
I'm excited about next year. Get those players running around the track and liftin' iron. We don't know what offense wil be installed for next season but we know there is going to be FIRE on the team.

Win or Lose, I'm balls to the wall with the new era in Husker football. We began to slip with Solich then hit bottom with Callahan. As they say, third times a charm.

2008 - Bring It On!

 
I say we set our sights higher...someone has to do it.

I don't think that there will be that much adjustment to go through. A good coach will temper their scheme to match the talent on hand.

The team will be .500 or better, and competitive in all games. With some early success, maybe much better. These guys need to learn how to win again.

HuskerKing130... i like how you think!! Honestly though I think we have a lot to look forward to next season. Most of our best offensive players will be back next year and hopefully cally recruited some studs for our defense. Plus it's always exciting when a new coach comes to town. That spring game is going to be one hell of a party if it's anything like the one the year callahan got here.

Right now, I'm not expecting a whole lot. But that could change once the season gets closer and my brain won't function because I'm excited.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we win 8 games. Might pull off an upset or two. Never know.

 
For me, it's kind of hard to have any kind of feel for next year until I know who the HC is. If we bring in someone like Norv Turner, then I'll be very pessimistic. Talent for talent, there's only 2 maybe 3 teams on the schedule with similar or better talent than we'll have unless there are a lot of transfers.

 
I know next year will be tough but I do not see a radical change coming. These players can be adapted to different systems with a new coach. I do not think the coach needs to try and pass with a running team or vice versa. I think the new coach can do either and be successful.

 
I don't know about wins or losses, but if we get passion from the players for the entire season and have decent defense I'll be happy and consider it an improvement.

Edit - And I do think we'll have both.

I fully expect a similar year as Florida after they got rid of "Zook the Recruiter" and hired Urban (Myth) Meyer.

Where's the BCS/MNC game next season?
