Nebraska Head Coach Bill Callahan announced on Saturday that Shawn Watson has been promoted to the position of offensive coordinator with the Husker football program.

Callahan Promotes Watson to Offensive Coordinator

Watson was in charge of recruiting and the tight end in 2006, and according to this article, "Before joining Callahan’s Nebraska staff, Watson spent seven seasons on the Colorado coaching staff, including the final six years as the Buffs’ offensive coordinator. Like Nebraska, Colorado implemented a West Coast offensive system in Boulder, and Watson helped the Buffs to four Big 12 North Division titles in his final five seasons." Good hire?

Only time will tell if this is a good hire. He is fortunate to have a solid group of players to work with and should be immediately succesful but his true coaching ability will show up more after the mid-point of the season when teams have to tweak their styles to suit their available talent. As a long time Husker fan, I hate to see anyone with Colorado ties take this position. It sort of turns my stomach to be honest.
