Nebraska mistakes AD for coach, fires him

No no no, non, nyet, negatory. You Cornhuskers just got waxed by Oklahoma State, by 31 points, in Nebraska, with Cornhusker coaching legend Tom Osborne and his '97 championship team squirming in the stands.
Coach Bill Callahan should have been checking his neck to see if his head had been chopped off with a scythe after the game. The athletic director, who apparently had fewer friends than Tommy DeSimone did with the Gambinos, got whacked instead.
Not in a Sopranos sense, they just told Steve Pederson to take his two million and bust out of Nebraska...
Pederson alienated a lot of people in Lincoln. That's OK -- if your changes bring success. But Pederson's regime struggled. He just received a contract extension over the summer and still is owed more than $2 million.The price of failure ain't too bad in college football, is it?
