      There is no real pleasure in calling for any coach to be fired. The sportswriters who do find joy in it are sadists who'd would rarely stand up to the critiques they use to run coaches out of jobs and towns. Well, they don't have a portal. And neither do we. But, as it relates to Nebraska's Bill Callahan, there are good reasons for his presumed firing. Two months ago, any call for Callahan's job was unthinkable. He'd just received a contract extension. He was prepping his team for NU's Game of t (Read Full Article)

      Nov. 26, 2007 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The number of black coaches leading major-college football programs wouldn't increase if Buffalo's Turner Gill returns to Nebraska. Still, Gill's hiring would be a sign of progress, the head of the Black Coaches and Administrators says. That's because Nebraska is a Bowl Championship Series school in the Big 12. "It's a key job because it's visible," BCA executive director Floyd Keith said Monday. Including Gill, there are only six black coaches at 119 major-col (Read Full Article)
