I second this emotion.  Harvey's head is not necessary and probably wouldn't great for the university to have the chancellor forced out due to the poor performance of the football program.  

And also, make not mistake, Callahan is done and finished at Nebraska.  No way they fire Pederson and keep Callahan.  They fired Pederson to get to Callahan if anything.  Absolute best case is that Callahan finishes the season.  That is all.  This bad dream is coming to an end.

This is a great day for us and for Nebraska.  This was going to happen, I just thought it would take longer and be messyer...messier....uhh I mean more messy.
