THROW A PARTY!Nebraska Athletic Director Steve Pederson isn't anymore. He's gone, fired, whacked, rubbed out by NU Chancellor Harvey Perlman, because you don't treat Da Family like that.
The Huskers don't get wiped out game after game after game -- the "fruits" of destroying one of the classiest and most successful football programs ever by firing and alienating those what built it -- without the guy who ordered the "hit" getting hit. And that mealy-mouthed, cynical incompetent got whacked but good.
He's gone! And NU "Coach" Bill Callahan is staying the hell away from neighborhood diners with his fambly.
BUT IT GETS BETTER, if this report from Omaha's KPTM television proves correct in 45 minutes or so:
A source close to the program tells KPTM FOX 42 News that Tom Osborne will be named interim Athletic Director.PEDERSON GONE! T.O. BACK! Could Christmas have come early this year?!?
In a release sent out this afternoon, Perlman says, "We are of course disappointed about the progress in our football program. 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."
Pederson was hired as athletic director in December of 2002. He came under heavy fire from Husker fans for hiring Bill Callahan, who did away with the Huskers' traditional running attack and replaced it with the west coast offense.
Perlman says his decision was not made lightly. "I know Steve made the decisions he thought best for the interests of the program and University. I am disappointed that I had to come to this decision," he says.
