From what I have read on Allbuffs, Shawn Watson is not very highly regarded. And that is putting it lightly, and in words that are not censored on this board.

Are there any specifics on why this guy is hated? I find it interesting Cally has been looking to CU for staff on multilpe occasions.

Evenrude · 01-05-2006, 06:59 AM

hehe... didn't Klatt get 44 school passing records under this guy?

He would be coming on as a TE coach, not anything I would be too worried about screwing up. NU's TEs were invisible this year anyhow, mostly due to the injury to Matt Herien but no one stepped up.

Callahan and Watson have some history together, they shared an office as graduate assistants at Illinios.

On a side note, Nebraska is the only team that has to face USC and Texas next year. Please go pro Mr. Young.

Yeah and Klatt might have had more had he not been relegated to "game manager" the last two years. Look at his stats, decline each year from his first one.

You can consider it sour grapes or whatever, but trust me, Watson is one of the worst coaches in college football.

Pezman · 01-05-2006, 09:44 AM

Oh please, please football gods, let this be true! Watson is a egotistical POS. Believe me, he'll be a "run it up the middle on 3rd and long" plague on your team. You soooo dont want him Evenrude

Yeah we have a home and away series with USC starting next year at their house. (shhhhh don't tell FAIDERPROOF though, he thinks we only schedule pansys

)

I mostly brought up the Watson issue to get a rise out of the CU guys..... I thought maybe he wasn't to highly thought of. Is he a decent recruiter though, that seems to be a theme with Billy C's coaching staff?

Oh well, I can't see them being nearly as good w/out Leinert, Bush, and the other dude.

I'm not sure he recruited one player in his entire time at CU.

But he's a hell of a nose-picker!

And if we win the north we might get to see Texas twice! Who would replace Young if he bolts for the draft? If Nebraska can win one of those two games I'll be happy. I remember K-State had a home and home with USC just before the Trojans won the title. Lucky punks.

Going to disagree with me that you did this year? I said this year that you guys had a cupcake schedule, still looks to be true.

I want Young to stay, him and Troy Smith would make a great game.

Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove may be leaving to join the new Vikings staff.

Ironic that a year ago so many Husker "fans" were calling for his head, and now they are hoping he doesn't leave.

Shawn Watson......

Best news of the New Year so far! Enjoy! Once the OC gets a new job after next season, you bugeaters can really feel the power of a Short Bus Shawn game plan, you know the ones, like from 11/26/05?

Nicholls State to play Huskers
BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star
Wednesday, Jan 25, 2006 - 10:26:14 am CST
Division I-AA Maine found little room to maneuver when it took a 25-9 loss to Nebraska in the 2005 season opener at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will again play a I-AA opponent, Nicholls State, this season. (Jill Peitzmeier)
As far as Nicholls State athletic director Rob Bernardi knows, his school is the only public university in the nation that offers a culinary program for students.

Come September, Bernardi hopes Nicholls State distinguishes itself on the football field by cooking up an upset over Nebraska in Lincoln.

Bernardi said Tuesday that officials from both schools have signed a contract to play at Memorial Stadium in 2006. There’s only one hitch: Nebraska officials haven’t determined whether the game will occur Sept. 2 or Sept. 9, he said.

“We’re just waiting to hear back from them as to which date we’ll play,” Bernardi said. “I think they’re trying to work out some things with another opponent. But we intend to be in Lincoln on one of those dates.”

Nebraska is in the final stages of finalizing its 2006 schedule. The Huskers’ 12-game schedule next season has room for four non-Big 12 Conference games, and two of those contests apparently are set: Sept. 16 at Southern California and Sept. 23 against Troy in Lincoln.

Nicholls State, an NCAA Division I-AA team from Thibodaux, La., finished 6-4 this past season, winning its last five regular-season games to capture its first Southland Conference championship.

Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson has said he won’t comment on scheduling matters until both the 2006 and 2007 schedules are finalized. NU’s 2007 schedule tentatively features home games against Nevada on Sept. 1 and Southern Cal on Sept. 15 sandwiched around a Sept. 8 road test at Wake Forest.

“Steve has tried to keep us informed and has been very apologetic, really,” Bernardi said. “Some of those athletic directors from big-time schools, you can’t even get them on the phone. That’s not the case with Steve. Every time I’ve called him, he’s called me back. We continue to be patient and just await word from them.”

Asked if Nicholls State had given Nebraska a deadline for a final answer, Bernardi said, “I think he’s certainly aware we need to put a period behind this thing soon. Hopefully, they’ll reward us for our patience.”

Nebraska, 8-4 in 2005, has played Division I-AA opponents in three of the last four seasons. This past season, the Huskers defeated Maine 25-7 in Lincoln.

Division I-A teams can count one victory over a I-AA opponent each year toward bowl eligibility. The rule went into effect in 2005.

Bernardi declined to say how much money Nicholls State will receive for its trip to Lincoaln. He did say Husker tailgaters should be ready for some tasty Cajun dishes.

“I’ve told Steve we intend to bring a band of Cajun chefs,” Bernardi said. “We’re an attractive opponent. We come with our own food.”

Master___Pain · 01-25-2006, 03:40 PM

a culinary school.

BMF Bronco · 01-26-2006, 03:29 PM

we still have to play Texas and USC this year so get off our balls.

Texas is in the B12, so what you have to play them?

Nebraska manages to dodge Texas while they have Vince Young and now they're not going to face Bomar the next two years. Rotating schedule my ass.

You have to play a team in your own conference?!!?

Damn, you Huskers have some bad luck.
