Big Red Hand writing on the wall
October 17, 2007This Saturday's Texas A&M vs. Nebraska contest is a great opportunity to see two lame-duck coaches face off against in each other in a Big 12 game for the first and last time.
That is, if it was actually being televised -- a clear indication of how far the mighty have fallen.
Bill Callahan, whose Huskers surrendered at least 40 points in the four of the past five games, and Dennis Franchione, who guided his Aggies to their seventh straight loss at Texas Tech last Saturday in the midst of his website controversy won't be there the next time the teams meet.
With Tom Osborne back on the Nebraska campus as the interim athletic director -- whatever interim means in the case of a coaching legend -- Callahan's days of mediocrity are numbered.
Meanwhile, across the field on Saturday, Franchione had a clue about his ultimate fate weeks earlier when the Coach Fran.com fiasco broke. And as entitled as Aggies fans and administrators may outwardly appear, there's no way they'll go down with Franchione's sinking, non-BCS ship.
Catch the highlights wherever you can because change is a' coming.
