Osborne went 9-3-1 in his fourth season, and he inherited a much better situation.
If Callahan went 7-5 this year he would feel the heat NEXT year, but most of our fans already think it could be 3 or four losses this season. Our schedule is pretty brutal.
Despite what all of you think, Callahan is actually well-liked. It's the athletic director a lot of our fans hate. The billmustgo sites sprang up before Callahan even coached a game, and they are the misdirected anger of fans who hate the AD.
I really like Callahan, and even some of the biggest Pederson (AD) bashers out there want Callahan to get a short extension this year. Despite what you guys say, Callahan is actually a really good coach, and the good he is doing far out-weighs the few mistakes he has made.
I think we'll go 8-4 or 9-3. 7-5 would suck, but that's life. I'd rather give him a couple more years after that than go through another coaching change.
