It has been one hell of a year for Nebraska. Besides eat corn and watch football, what is a man to do out there? This year, people have started to stick to only eating the corn and ditching the Huskers as they have underperformed and not met outside expectations.
When a team under-performs, people start looking in the direction of the coach. The seat starts getting hot and emotions may bear enhanced expression. This is not about coach Callahan of Nebraska football, however. Instead, it is his agent that has completely gone off the edge.
The Cornhuskers were going into this past weekends game against Kansas State (who they absolutely demolished) losing the prior five games in a disgusting fashion. Many were getting on coach Callahan’s case. Callahan’s agent, Gary O’Hagan of International Marketing Group, had enough of the rumors surrounding Callahan’s employment, and had this to say in a local broadcast:
“Then fire him…Listen to how stupid you people are. You people need to start studying soil content or something. Why don’t you find out how many pair of socks get washed every day in the locker room?” [Callahan’s agent rips into NU rumor mill].
I think that a simple, “I feel confident in my client’s former success and his future potential,” would have done the job. Soil content? Only in Nebraska…
