Oct 15, 2007 12:25 PM CDT Omaha, NE - University of Nebraska Regent Randy Ferlic thinks Husker fans need to back off the calls for changes in the Husker athletic department. Since Saturday's 45-14 loss to Oklahoma State, fans are demanding change. Ferlic calls it a "lynch mob mentality", and says it's a knee-jerk reaction that isn't fair to the students. "We may not win any more football games here on out in the season, but to do something tomorrow or next week in my mind would be precipitous," says Ferlic. Ferlic tells Action 3 News, "I think the fact that the fans walked out at half-time shows a certain amount of disrespect for all those students playing for our team." He says if Athletic Director Steve Peterson, Chancellor Harvey Perlman or Coach Bill Callahan decided to make staff changes, he's accept the changes if they came with a good explanation.

Associated Press - October 15, 2007 12:15 PM ET LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A University of Nebraska regent says there is no movement afoot to fire anyone associated with the Cornhuskers' football program. Regent Randy Ferlic of Omaha says members of the Board of Regents are notified as a matter of course before any major hirings or firings in the athletic department. Ferlic says he and fellow regents have been flooded with e-mails the past two days calling for the firings of athletic director Steve Pederson and head coach Bill Callahan, among others. He says "it's almost reached a lynch-mob mentality." The Huskers have come under fire after losing back-to-back games against Missouri and Oklahoma State by a combined 86-20. Chancellor Harvey Perlman says he'll have no comment.

Okay...let's omit Callahan. But lets at least get Pederson out of here!

I say that we put together a fundraiser to raise money to pay for a buy out of Pederson and Callahan's contracts. Who's in? I think we may need to book the Qwest Center to fit everyone!
