| Hindsight now 20/20, firing Solich and hiring Calahan set the program back years.

| It has been an absolute bloodbath. As GA said in a previous thread, I am positive that Solich will walk around for the rest of this season with a permanent smile on his face. | |

| This is one of the only times that I wish that Trev was back at ESPN. I would love to watch him twitch and squirm while describing the events taking place at his beloved school. | |

| I sit across from a huge Nebraska fan, Solich was 16-12 over his last 28 games at Nebraska so that's why he got fired. But Calahan wasn't an improvement. | |

| I'd imagine that there are a bunch of Nebraska fans sitting around saying, "If we're going to lose, we might as well lose playing Nebraska football. Bring back the option!" | |

| I'd say Callahan has to win the Big XII next year or he is gone... If not toast by the end of this season.

| what a mess. but did anyone really think BC was the answer? i never thought that much of him, and when they made that hire, first i questioned firing Solich at the time, but even when they did, i kept thinking there were better candidates out there......
better them than us, that's all i can say at this point.

| I wouldn't wish this on any school. Well, except for Bama and Florida. But that goes without saying. Oh yea, and ND.
