Will Tom SLASH the football staff?(that's called humor for most of you brain dead kats).

It's going to be even funnier because Osborne is going to make an even worse mistake than Pederson.

Osborne always wanted to be the AD and HC, but Nebraska wouldn't let it happen.   He's been out of the system for over 10 years and now he's going to come back and try and revive NU football.   

I don't care what anyone says, but once you kill something, you can't resurrect it, and despite what people want to think, the only way you build a program is start all over.   Expect several more years of disappointed NU fans and lots of comedy gold for everyone else.

Hilarity is the theme of the day when thinking Husker Football.

Consulting Tom Osborne and telling people that.   These blowhards will do anything keep dollars rolling in.

If I were Osborne, I would distance myself a mile from this whole thing.

No.  They would just stop caring.  Kind of like OU in the 90's.

There is no place like Nebraska.   ;)

Maybe TO told HP no on being the new AD.  HP gave SP the contract extension, who then turned around and gave BC an extension.  He has as much blame in this as anyone, and firing SP seems like a desperate move to save himself.  If TO plays his cards right, he can get HP fired and get HP's job.  TO has the clout to get this if he wants it.

Crazy rumors flying around that Callahan asked to resign today and told administration to F**k Off.  Almost certainly not true but LOFL at the thought of it.  Rumor (<almost certainly not true) goes on to say Watson takes over as interim for season and team mutiny reigns.

ESPNs article on TO:
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=3066312&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines

"Perlman said Monday the athletic director -- interim or permanent -- would be charged with deciding whether Callahan would continue to lead a football program that has fallen on hard times."

Callahan is as good as gone.

Radio in NE throwing around crazy-stupid names for new coach.  Have mentioned Petrino, Petrino/Mike Stoops as DC combo, Marty Shot., Brian Kelly( :ohno: he's good), Leavitt ( :blahblah:), Leavitt/McCarney DC combo, Bo (God I hope so, he's a moron), Turner Gill (< Will be TO's choice LOL).  Most of these would turn the Corn down anyway but I like to listen to them get their hopes up.  I bet they end up with choice number 7 this time around.

TO at presser:  Bill Callahan's contract dollar figure will not effect his firing or keeping him on.  Won't fire him until the season is over.  Interesting bit was him saying Slash's job would be determined after 5 games.  Does this mean they fire the coach before the potential bowl or he has conceded that they will not make bowl?
