Head coaching dead pool, 2007 edition

[Dryden]

Callahan just got a big contract extension.

I know that, but so did Mason last year. Contract extensions don't mean jack when the fan base is setting up Web sites asking for the firing of the coach, AD, and University President.

The situation at Nebraska is getting very, very ugly.

I don't see it happening this year.

Who gets fired first?

Should the vBookie take this one over? :tongue2:

Did you get this idea from EDSBS or is it just a coincidence?

They think Nutt, Callahan (despite the contract extension) and Franchione are all fired.

BTW, I vote Franchione.

The Nebraska AD just got shit canned.

The Nebraska AD just got shit canned.

Maybe b/c of the contract extension!

I hadn't checked EDSBS today. That's funny!

Actually, the impetus for this was ESPN's Mark Schlabach's On/Off the Mark column today, where he listed all the coaches above, as well as SMU's Phil Bennett and Colorado State's Sonny Lubick.

Brent Musburger needs a designated driver at those Cornhusker tailgates.

“University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman today announced he has asked UNL Athletic Director Steve Pederson to step down from the post he has held since January 2003. Perlman said he believes Pederson is no longer positioned to move the Athletic Department forward."

The move comes two days after Nebraska’s football team suffered its worst home loss since 1958, prompting widespread concern about the direction of the football program under Pederson’s most notable hire, Bill Callahan.

Less than three months ago, Perlman extended Pederson’s contract through June 2013.

Good thing Big XII programs have wealthy boosters.

When they hired him, I told all the braska fans I knew to pray for 0 and 1 win seasons to get rid of him as soon as they could. Last week they came back to me and said I was right.

I figured this would be the case as well. Hopefully, Callahan has been put on notice that his days end at the end of the season.
