Husker Talk

I've heard the same thing.  Several friends have called to discuss.  Supposedly TO is being appointed as interim AD Monday morning.  I would treat this as rumor until it is confirmed, but hey, a guy can dream can't he?

TO as AD with Callahan, being allowed to stay would be interesting. 

I do have to say that if any of this is true, that the timing sucks.  I don't care how bad a program is, you can't gain anything by upsetting the applecart in the middle of the season.  Where would you get staff replacements from?  This kind of shift in the middle of the season doesn't bode well for our program, even if TO is now at the helm.

Thought?... Confirmation?

Looks like we may be speculating a bit too much. Jim Rome is about to go off on Nebraska on his radio show, too.  Should be fun to listen to!

BREAKING NEWS: Nebraska athletic director fired

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman this afternoon announced that he fired NU Athletic Director Steve Pederson. Perlman said he believes Pederson is no longer positioned to move the athletic department forward. "We are of course disappointed about the progress in our football program," Perlman said. "Steve has done many positive things for Husker athletics during his tenure, but I think only new leadership can objectively assess the state of our program and make the decisions necessary to move us forward."
