It’s Official: Callahan Fired at Nebraska
November 24, 2007 |
Nebraska interim athletic director Tom Osbourne finally pulled the trigger and fired coach Bill Callahan, the day after the Huskers blew a lead and lost 65-51 to Colorado. The loss sunk Nebraska’s record to 5-7 and assured that they won’t get a bowl invitation.
This move came as a surprise to nobody. There’s some good news for Callahan though. Because he was still under contract through 2011, the Huskers have to pay him $3.1 not to coach. Poor guy.
For the record, we’re still putting together all the rankings, but our latest run had Callahan ranked 104th with 38.12 points. So it seems like Nebraska did the right thing here. Stay tuned for all the rankings.
