The Nebraska Cornhuskers fired their athletic director Steve Pederson citing lack of the football program showing progress. Trust me being a longtime Nebraska Cornhusker fan it runs a lot deeper than just the athletic director. First of all firing Frank Solich was a mistake as even though he did struggle he learned under Tom Osborne and knew a lot about the program. In fact Osborne even put in a good word for him and he still got fired.
Nebraska hasn't had a coach in there in awhile that has been able to bring top recruits into the program. Nebraska now gets the 6th and seventh best player around. This is why they are getting blown out all the time and can't stop anyone on defense. In fact for most Nebraska fans it's getting downright embarrassing. Firing the AD might be a start but the truth is they have many problems that are going to take years to fix. So this firing isn't really going to make any big difference. It's going to take time.
