Good questions in the first two paragraphs of this excerpt:

> At any rate, Nebraska¹s colossal struggle this season leaves the school¹s top
> administrators ‹ Chancellor Harvey Perlman, specifically ‹ with little wiggle
> room. Is there anything Nebraska could accomplish in the final five games ‹
> short of running the table ‹ that could save Callahan¹s job?
> 
> Is there any possible way Pederson will be the man to hire the next coach?
> 
> Those answers seem as clear as the scoreboard lights that showed us an
> improbable outcome on an unforgettable Saturday on Stadium Drive.
> 
> Pederson¹s public-approval rating is dismal at this point, rendering him
> ineffective as a leader. Many fans will never forgive him for brazenly
> uprooting so much of what made Nebraska football unique. What makes NU
> football unique at this point?
> 
> Pederson has alienated too many people. Paul Meyers¹ sudden and somewhat
> shocking Oct. 3 resignation obviously didn¹t help matters, especially with the
> big-money boosters. Pederson¹s lieutenants keep jumping ship.
> 
> Pederson botched the firing of Frank Solich and then the hiring of Callahan.
> The Callahan era simply isn¹t working. The head coach and his staff gave it a
> good run. They¹re good men. Honorable men. Hard-working men. But the repeated
> Saturday embarrassments can¹t continue.
> 
> Meanwhile, common sense dictates that Pederson¹s tumultuous five-year reign as
> athletic director must end soon.
