Big deal. Callahan calls all the plays anyway.

If Norvell really thinks that he has any head coaching aspirations, he had to get out of there. It is bad when you have a title of offensive coordinator, and you don't call a play.

Thank God this clown is not our head coach, I would have rather had Harbaugh (and I didn't like him all that well).

Welcome to the easiest job in the world, Shawn. Just sit back and watch Clownahan call the plays and run your offense into the ground. Everyone knows Billy calls the plays, so you'll be off the hook anyway.

Has anyone noticed the constant thing Callahan does with his mouth. The cameras are off him quickly because of that hitch..and it's getting worse. Don't know if its nerves or just a habit.

Hopefully when this clown becomes a head coach in the next few years and he will ISU will be on his schedule. He could use a win.

Buddy, I think that you need to worry about the Huskers trying to replace their defensive line, and scoring against good defenses, than what Jay Norvell is going to do.

Steven M. Sipple, Lincoln Journal-Star, "Excited for a chance to advance professionally, Jay Norvell is returning to the West coast as the offensive coordinator for UCLA."

I couldn't say it any better than Mr. Sipple. This is a great move for Jay Norvell. He is an outstanding coach, and a very likeable guy, who has been underutilized. My deepest sympathies go out to Shawn Watson, because he will be hand-cuffed by Bill Callahan for as long as he is there. He'll work "hand-in-hand" with BC from sunday-friday in game preparation, but BC will make the calls on game day. I have numerous friends who are NU fans, none of which have the utmost confidence in BC.
