Vince from ShamWOW
All-Conference
This is exactly what he did in Lincoln.In his first major move since returning to Pittsburgh, where he had been the athletic director before taking the Nebraska job, Pederson essentially forced Wannstedt to resign under pressure. After a long list of potential candidates — including Houston’s Kevin Sumlin, Tulsa’s Todd Graham and Iowa State’s Paul Rhoads — refused to even discuss the job, there was a strong perception among college football officials and observers that Pitt did not have a plan after forcing out Wannstedt.Now, with about half the university’s football recruits wavering or rescinding their commitments, Pederson needs to fix a program in disarray.
