MR should follow the Callahan approach from years ago, I can get you ready for the NFL and publicize it
I'm no fly on the wall, val, but I'm pretty sure that's EXACTLY what Rhule tells 'em!
Yeah but if Billy could have actually done that he wouldnt have had 2 losing seasons
Recruiting players for a future in the NFL wasn't Callahan's problem. It was his "All things NFL" mindset. Be it his playbook, his roster size, his approach to practice, his approach when games were already lost (psst...Billy, blowouts in college are taken VERY differently by a CFB fanbase than blowouts in the NFL.)
His first season should never have been a losing one. But he was more interested in fitting players into his schemes than he was in adapting his schemes to maximize the abilities of his current roster of players. Joe Dailey was never a WCO QB.
Callahan isn't a good head coach. Oline? Great! HC? Disaster. Do you remember his NFL head coach time where the week before the Super Bowl he changed the entire game plan? Hey guys, forget we we've done for the past week, we need to learn and implement a new system against the best team in the NFL. His disdain for players and people in general showed up time and time again. Do you remember when he referred to midwest football fans as Hillbillies? He wasn't a team builder.
Sorry to correct you, PD, but Cally did not refer to Midwest football fans as 'Hillbillies.' He called Oklahoma fans that.
BC didn't work out but give the guy credit. Bill was DEAD-ON RIGHT about OU followers!!!
