I believe that it is necessary to address the TRUE culprit of our predicament. Steve mutha' f%&k&ing Pederson.
Can anyone here "blame" Callahan for seizing the opportunity presented to him by Steve Pederson? Why would he not take it? The opportunity to coach one of the most storied programs in college football history is a pretty-good opportunity for a fired, ex-NFL coach.
It's really not Callahan's fault. He's here because the opportunity was there (Steve Pederson). We can go back and forth and wonder whether MOTIVATION is the problem. I believe it is. But Callahan was hired by Steve Pederson. Callahan brought his "vaunted" West Coast Offense into an Option Offense program...and it simply didn't work. Whether this is due to Callahan WILL NEVER BE KNOWN.
Why should we blame ol' Pedey? Because SP fired Frank Solich with NO replacement lined-up or even in-mind. If you remember it took roughly 4 months for us to find a coach willing to come here and give it a try...albeit at a measly, couple million dollar salary.
Steve Pederson needs to be held accountable for his actions. If this Athletic Director continues his tenure beyond Monday...there NEEDS to be a serious revolt.
STEVE PEDERSON fired a coach for going 9-3, or ultimately 10-3 -- citing the program slipping into mediocrity (as you all know). Or, as the Lincoln Journal Star (10-13-2007) puts it "Mediocrity is looking pretty good right about now."
Bring in "Bobo the Chimp" as our A.D., we shouldn't care. Just so long as Steve Pederson does not continue to receive paychecks from the University of Nebraska.
If Bill Callahan gets fired, and Steve Pederson remains the Athletic Director at NU...I am going to officially "flip-out."
