Why make a big production out of it, though?  Doesn't that just increase
speculation that he might get fired NEXT year?  Isn't that likely to
hurt recruiting too?

This struck me as a 'vote of confidence', which in the sports world almost 
always means the clock is LOUDLY ticking towards the moment when it becomes 
a vote of NO confidence.

How do you suppose SP would feel if HIS boss, Chancellor Harvey Perlman,
held a press conference on Monday and announced that Steve Pederson was
not being fired?

How would you feel if your boss held a press conference and announced that 
you were not being fired?

This has nothing to do with whether it was the right decision.  I'm not taking
a stand on that.  It has to do with how people reacted to it.  I reacted
negatively.  I was just wondering if I was the only one who did.  Perhaps so.
