[Husker] Sadler gets contract extension

[Duane Feldman]

Bob, after a comment like that, I guess I would need more specifics.  Before being hired, NU was in the top ten or top 25 (depending on year) for the All Sports Trophy.  I don't think we have won the conference version even once during SP's tenure.  We've even fallen out of the top two conference wise.  Byrne won the conference title at least half the time if not more often.  What did we win (any title, any sport) under SP that we didn't win under Bill Byrne?

I was ecstatic when SP was hired to replace Byrne, but that excitement was short lived and ended when he didn't give Solich a chance to see if he had "righted the ship."  Frankie may not have been the right answer, but only Solich's worst year was worse than Callahan's best.  I don't see any of the other sports exceeding those of Bill's.  Wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, rifle, basketball, baseball,  soccer,  softball, swimming, track, golf,  . . . .OK, bowling but bowling wasn't a sanctioned sport until SP took over.   Even Bill's alley squads won an theoretical bowling national trophy, but it wasn't sanctioned by the NCAA at the time.

Past that, I don't see what is better.

     Steve Pederson did many things right with the athletic program.  He 
just messed up football and that is the cardinal sin of all time.
