Nebraska's Recruiting Dilemma

As a Nebraska football fanatic I have grown up being lucky to watch the great teams of the 90's under the great Tom Osborne. I have experienced games in Memorial Stadium in Lincoln with the best fans in college football screaming for their team. The bad part is that over the past years Nebraska hasn't been performing to the level that is expected by the fans, players, coaches, and college. The program is under a large dilemma right now with the question of firing Bill Callahan or keeping him as the head coach. The problem with this is that not only does this effect the program right now but the recruits that are thinking about attending Nebraska and playing football.
Nebraska has already seen a number of players de-commit and either commit to another school or keep their options more open. The biggest recruiting loss is with Blaine Gabbert. The Huskers had one of the best high school quarterbacks committed to come play at Nebraska until the job of Bill Callahan was threatened. The recruits deal with the coaches and why would they commit to a place that isn't sure who the coach will be next year. The Nebraska recruiting class has lost some recruits and dropped in the recruiting class rankings on nearly every website that ranks recruiting classes. This season has hurt the Huskers pride and could continue to hurt the ability to get kids to come play at Nebraska.
