I've alluded to this a few times earlier in the year, but this week's performance against Kansas made this post necessary. The once vaunted and respected Nebraska defense is one of the worst in the nation. What do you get when you combine an offense averaging 42.5 ppg and a defense giving up 31? 76 points! This is not basketball, look again. Kansas put up 76 on the Huskers, on 11 offensive TD's. No punt returns, no INT's returned for TD's. KU had 69 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
I think it's officially time to say Callahan should be fired along with his entire defensive staff. The offense has looked decent at times, but everyone in corn country has to be embarrassed. The defense has given up 40+ pts 5 times this year (USC, Ball St., @Missouri, Okla St, @Kansas), and also gave up 36 to A&M and 28 to Texas (including 290 yds rushing to the Texas RB). Nebraska is now 1-5 in the Big 12 North, with the lone victory over Iowa St. (who lost to Northern Iowa and Kent St. this year), and they have to beat K State and Colorado to be bowl-eligible at 6-6. I wrote previously about how Frank Solich got the shaft at Nebraska. Do you think they might take his "terrible" 9-3 seasons after the debacle that has been Callahan's era? Last year's trip to the Big 12 Championship game was the only time in the last 4 years that Nebraska has had a winning record in conference. In arguably the weakest division of any major football conference over that period, that's awful.
Callahan should resign out of shame and return the money Nebraska was stupid enough to offer in a lucrative extension.

It's recruiting man. Nebraska is an NFL dead zone.
Best Nebraska players in the NFL:
Correll Buckhalter
Kris Brown
Ryan Incognito (OL-Rams)
Ahman Green
Eric Johnson (TE-Niners)
Sam Koch (P-Ravens)
Mike Minter
Dominic Raiola (C-Lions)
Mike Rucker
Will Shields
Adam Treu (C-Raiders)
Kyle Vandenbosch
Fabian Washington
Those aren't names that are going to give the recruits wood.
I agree no one wants to play in Lincoln, which is why the option and power football was a good idea. Navy is still showing how successful that can be. Nebraska never should have abandoned their trademark style.
Anyone who regularly visits nebraskacoeds.com or melissamidwest.com (both links obviously NSFW) knows that Lincoln, NE is waaaaaay underrated.
And yet you can still access those websites while attending USC and Florida. So what's your point?
Good point on the websites, but the hottest girl I ever dated was from Lincoln.
j-red, that post makes no sense plus you left some players off your list (bullocks bros, wistrom. I think any recruit would just want a chance to be in the NFL and seeing how many are in the NFL from Nebraska that isn't bad
Not a bad point, but i think J-Red is saying if you are Ryan Mallett, do you want to go to the school that produced Eric Crouch or Tom Brady?
Ben... I believe Crouch won a Heisman (which most high school kids think is a huge deal even though we all know it isn't) and Michigan really can't take much credit for Brady - the guy never played. He was buried on the depth chart there like he was at NE until injuries and fate put him in the driver's seat.
