How Much Are Coaches Responsible For?
The recent incident with offensive lineman Andy Christensen has brought up a subject that I feel strongly about: personal responsibility. To get things straight, I believe that each person is ultimately responsible for his or her own actions. But what if you see someone walking towards a cliff, and they are not paying attention? Can coaches prevent destructive behaviors?
Don't Turn Ganz into Keller
Joe Ganz was impressive in the last few games of the season for the Huskers. It was his gunslinger attitude that lead to offensive output that Husker fans have rarely seen. Unfortunately, it was the gunslinger in him that made him loft some passes in the KU game, and throw in ill-advised situations in the Colorado game. We all know that Keller used to have the “gunslinger” moniker, but I was not impressed with what our (now fired) coaching staff had done with him. You can tell by the headline of this article what I think does and does not need to happen.
So Wrong in So Many Ways
From the get-go, we all assumed that the Nebraska coaching staff knew what they were doing this year. It all seemed to be lining up with a big QB surrounded by exceptional offensive talent. Our defense had many players returning with game experience along with what appeared to be the best line backing corps in the Big 12. Coaches and players were saying all the right things. Bill Callahan had everyone believing without too much question what this team was going to be.
