AU_tiger_2000 0 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Big surprise on who it is as Osborne makes his return to the Huskers. I think this is the final coffin nail for Callahan and his wussy version of the West Coast O. This is Nebraska where we By God run the football and play By God defense!! Damning quotes Perlman said Osborne would be given "full authority" to make decisions about football and other athletic matters."I'm counting on him to do what needs to be done to move our program forward and make progress here," Perlman said. ... Osborne became head coach in 1973. He built upon that Devaney tradition and gave Nebraska a unique identity with its powerful running attack and reliance on hardworking, homegrown players. The triple option remained a staple under Osbourne's successor, Frank Solich, as did the tremendously popular walk-on program. Callahan ditched the option in favor of a West Coast system and, in a move that upset the fans, greatly reduced the walk-on program. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
