The guy got a $2.2 million buyout of his contract, which is more savings 
than I will ever accumulate in my lifetime.  In large part this was due 
to a "golden parachute" contract extension that just happened to be 
signed right before the crap hit the fan.  Either directly or 
indirectly, Husker fans will be paying for his mistakes for a long time 
to come.

I shed no tears for Pederson, and I feel no guilt about celebrating his 
firing.  This is a great day.  If that makes me petty, then so be it.  
I'm not going to pretend this doesn't make me happy.
