vwaldoguy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Everyone keeps asking the University to buy out the contracts of Callahan and Pederson. Does anyknow actually know how much that might be? Is it simply their salary for the remaining years? What happens if they each grow a pair and they leave on their own, then do they forfeit the remaining money? Quote Link to comment

From what I read on a LJS blog, Cally gets paid $62500 per month for the remainder of his contract if he is let go, which is $750000 a year. Quote Link to comment

REDSTEEL Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 As I have been saying NU might not have enough money to payoff BC contract but they should have plenty to get rid of the guys that hired him. Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Our best hope is that Pederson is fired and Callahan goes back to the Pro's (in which case we don't have to buy out his contract). Our worst case is Pederson and Callahan are still here next year but with some new coaches. Our "we're f*cked" case is Pederson and Callahan are still here next year and ALL the other coaches are too Quote Link to comment
vwaldoguy Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I think it would be cheaper in the long run to man up and pay it. Tha'ts 3.5 million up front. Imagine how much money the university will lose over the next 5 years if we keep him. Ten times that or more if the booster money starts to dry up. Athletic contributions falter, ticket sales flounder, merchandise sits on shelves, pizzas go uneaten. I think we have to do something now to save countless millions. Quote Link to comment

Pederson and Callahan doen't realize that many businesses in NE rely on Husker stuff sales. Watching BC on his coaches show really shows that he does not understand Husker football. 4 years into the job and still wears a brown jacket and tie. NO HUSKER COLORS or EMBLEMS.

FireSteveP Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Then at least wear a red tie, I am sure that the men's store carries RED ties. If not, he could afford to pay them to special order one in. Quote Link to comment

There are a number of people that will make sure the university has the money, rest assured about that. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 If the majority of Nebraskans donate $5, that would be at least $5 million towards something. $5 million towards who knows, $5 million away from holy sh*t. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 That's $5 Million to help us gravitate back up to mediocrity at least cuz right now our suck factor is pegged Quote Link to comment
