So to paraphrase your comment:  "He didn't mess up ALL the sports, only the most important one to Husker fans"

I do take issue with "maintained things in sports other than football" comment as well.  Our All Sports rankings are way down under SP -- Stanford always wins that and it isn't just about football.  Byrne was criticized for working too hard to win the Director's Cup (All Sports Trophy) and ignoring football.

Had I known you were behind the firing, I guess I wouldn't have gotten so upset.  We fired a 75% winning coach and replaced him with a 50+% winning rate coach.  SP gets points for this?
