The Huskers were blissfully mediocre for a while after firing Frank Solich for having the temerity to lead the team to a mere 10-3 season and hiring Oakland Raiders castoff Bill Callahan. I confess to being gleeful after hearing about the replacement, because Callahan is about as talented a coaching mind as an arsenic-laced potato with a headset. He kept trying to force an option-based team into a West Coast offense, about like dressing a cat in a bee suit and expecting it to fly. Four years and a 27-22 record later -- abysmal for any team that thinks as highly of itself as Nebraska -- he was finally canned, and they hired Bo Pelini, who is pretty decent.
