Thanks for letting me know. :P

One relaly has to try to dislike Coach T.O.

One of his biggest concerns about taking the temporary A.D. position was how it would affect the business leadership classes that he was teaching. (On the day of his press conference, he had to find someone to administer the midterm for him.) He also was concerned about the athletes at Creighton, where he was serving as a adjunct "guru" for overall athletic excellence.

With the odds of Callahan being retained after this season getting more and more remote, he will be facing a big decision. He has this tremendous sense of loyalty for Turner Gill, but my guess is that he really is looking at Bo Pelini and Chris Peterson, in that order.


BTW, when I was watching his press conference last week, I jumped into "Marley" mode, and started to wonder how he would fare with the APs. He is a soft-spoken guy, but with a wickedly dry sense of humor and self-deprecation.
