No doubt. When Stafford throws to you as a receiver you better catch it.

As a QB i would not be happy about that. Especially getting to the pros. Right Bowe?

I still think he would be a great QB in the NFL for some team.

But his team won 10. That AD was the real ass. He fired Solich without a replacement in hand. He thought every coach in the country would come begging for that job. Then he found out nobody wanted it. What a dipshit. I read in USA Today that Callahan called and asked for it and Pederson had no choice but to hire him..

Just looking at Hoch and Gabbert at MU, that class had a ton of talent. It seems there were a couple of guys that went to ND or Colorado, or something that were pretty good as well.

I'm going to be nice to you by saying this: I don't think you remember anything that happened to the team last year. The coaches lost the team.

I doubt it went down like that but I know Callahan wasn't on the short list to begin with.

Pitt really doesn't know much about college football in general, he just posts links and slightly remembers stuff he reads on the AP wire.

I question whether Callahan would've won this year's home opener against Western Michigan. The score was 47-24. I bet the margin would've been within seven points.

We know Houston Nutt turned it down. Pederson denied offering it but something caused Arkansas to give him a big raise when he really hadn't done anything.

Rumor has it that he had Wannstedt all lined up to take the job, but his plan was derailed when he didn't get fired from Miami.

Tonight's game would've been worse if Callahan was still the coach.

Yeah, I wonder if Callahan would've gone winless in conference this season. That means losing to Iowa State and Baylor.

I realize that. Cally really wasn't a good coach. But, man, your recruiting class was sick. As an MU fan, I think it turned out well. If I was an NU fan, I might have kept him around another year (or a little less) to get all the talent.

Nice. Thanks.

Just take a look at all the talent in the 2005 class. He didn't do anything with it.

If Nebraska plays pass defense against Mizzou like they did against VT, Chase and co. will certainly hang 50 on them.

there's no reason to think it won't happen
