[Husker] Callahan Resignation statement in doubt

[j j]

If TO wants that much control then he just as well start coaching again. I hope he doesn't become Pederson like. Isn't that one of the rumors going around that SP gave Frank those kind of choices and Frank said no way and then was fired. We dont need that again. Just get rid of him.

meeting with BC at the end of the season and says:  "Well Bill, it  
was a rough year.  Normally as an AD I don't get too involved with  
day to day decisions on the part of my coaches, but I feel that due  
to the circumstances I have to in this case.  And I DO happen to know  
a little bit about football.  So here's the deal:  as your boss I'm  
telling you that you need to make certain changes to the football  
program to get it back on track.  I've studied the situation, and  
here are the changes you will make:  you'll make the following staff  
changes (fill in the blank here with firings, hirings of assistants  
as Tom sees fit);  you'll make the following practice changes (fill  
in the blanks here as Tom sees fit);  you'll make the following  
changes to the walk on program (fill in the blank as Tom sees fit);   
you will make the following changes to the conditioning program,  
etc., etc.  If you don't agree to these conditions, I'll expect your  
letter of resignation."  The boosters get to keep their buyout money.  
Or BC does what he's told (not likely under the circumstances) and we  
see if he can indeed be a success at NU.

Whattya think?  Is there a clause in his contract that says he  
doesn't have to follow orders from the AD?
