[Husker] Announcement

[JEN_SENS]

Accurate quote but not the whole story. In all of the hire stories recognize 
coach speak.

No coach is going to admit to his employer he is looking for a job after an 
aborted interview.

Once again, Urban was interested, but he and Pederson butted heads right 
away. This was early in the process and Pederson felt he held all the cards 
and was making demands and no concessions. He was not willing to give Meyer 
the kind of control he wanted over the program.

Meyer felt he held all the cards because the job he really wanted (Notre 
Dame) would probably open the next year (it did), so he could be patient. 
Remember, he went into the Notre Dame discussion with his list of demands 
and when the Board of Governors wouldn't meet them, he went ahead and took 
the Florida job.
