Callahan by the Numbers
As the Huskers head coach 2004-present
Overall: 26-18 (that’s a average of just over 6 wins per year)
vs. I-A: 23-18 (that’s a average of just over 5 wins per year)
vs. Winning I-A Teams: 8-17 (can’t beat teams with a winning record)
vs. Big XII: 14-14 (wow 500 in the big 12)
vs. Big XII South: 3-8 (even worse vs. the south)
Away: 7-10 (has truble winning on the road)
vs. Top 25 (time of game): 3-8 (if you can’t beat a team in the top 25 you can’t be a team in the top 25)
vs. Top 25 (season end): 1-8 (if you can’t beat a team in the top 25 you can’t be a team in the top 25)
vs. Top 10: 0-6 (can’t win the “big one”)
When losing at the half 0-15 (no half adjustments are made)
At The Raiders 2002-2003
Overall 17-18 (that would be a losing record people)
2002 13-6 (including playoffs The Raiders suffered a lopsided defeat, losing 48-21 (in a game that was not as close as the score may have indicated) )
2003 4-12 (from 2nd in the NFL to last)
Callahan was relieved of his coaching duties at Oakland in two years.
What former players have said about Callahan.
Charles Woodson 2003
“Callahan was stubborn and had lost control of his team, and that the Raiders were falling apart.” (sounds familiar)
Tim Brown 2003
"I don't know if he's the guy who can bring this team back together," Brown said. "This year, he made things personal with this team. You can't do that. If he's back, it's going to take two to three years to fix this, because nobody trusts a word he says." (need I say more)
STOP DRINKING THE KOOL AID HE IS NOT A GOOD HEAD COACH

WOW!!!!! It would be bad enough if people like Barrett Robbins were saying that about their own coach. You could blame it on the ritlin. But when you have your star players like Tim Brown and Charles Woodson saying it, you might as well just ask Al Davis to fire you instead of trying to keep going. Send this clown back to the high school teams to be a coach.

| Only difference in this situation is he isn't the one melting down and losing control - it's the players on the field that are collapsing before our eyes. Regardless, NFL coaching & NCAA coaching is apples and oranges. Ego's & salaries -vs- college kids. |

To a point I actually agree with DMan on this subject.
The players need to take a good long hard look in the mirror. They have no heart, they have laid down! They don't even play for their own pride, yet alone the University.
Blame some of it on coaching and motivation by the coaching staff but the players are the ones who are jogging rather than running, arm tackling rather than laying people out.
I have heard of situations in other sports where the coach has actually left and the players have taken it upon themselves to play and win without a coach.
Much like in boxing if you don't have heart you can have the best trainer on the planet but you won't win when it counts. Coaches can't coach a player to have heart, either they have it or they don't. Some coaches can spot it and actually recruit players with heart, Calliecan't obviously can't spot it or it does not factor into what he looks for in players. These players have no heart when the going gets tough!
The players are blaming each other, defense blames offense, offense blames defense, players blame fans for booing or leaving early, fans blame coaches and players, media blames everyone but themselves for creating havoc.
My point to all of this is let's pretend for a moment you get a completely new coaching staff, what percentage of these 4 and 5 star players currently on campus leave? Thirty percent? Fifty percent? How many of the recruits who have committed but not yet arrived bolt for another program, 80%?
Remember this, that when Frank was fired it was said that with a new staff coming in it might take 3 to 5 years to see results. You start competely over again with reservations by the coaching fraternity on what is actually going on in Lincoln.
Does Husker Nation then write off the next 3 - 5 years (once again) to give the new staff time to get their players, and put their system into place.
If change is coming who picks the next staff?

It depends on the coach and the system.
I think there are pieces in place that, if properly taught and motivated (not the apparent strong point of the current staff), there is a chance of some improvement to start.
Plus, unless the new coach is Paul Johnson, odds are that we won't see the return of the triple option. So there's liable to be less offensive change. |

"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin |
