AD: New Nebraska coach must get history (AP)
Published 11/25/2007 at Yahoo! Sports - NCAA Football News
The next Nebraska coach doesn't necessarily have to have ties to the school, but Tom Osborne says the Cornhuskers next leader must have an understanding of the program's unique culture and history. One of the criticisms of Bill Callahan, who was fired Saturday, was that he didn't understand or appreciate the fans' passion and high expectations.
