And The Answer Is?

Tom Osborne.

The question? What is the single, most-important decision the University of Nebraska system has made in the last 10 years? Specifically, hiring Coach Osborne as the Athletic Director.

Steve Pedersen ("Pedey" as we so affectionately called him (believe me it was NOT a term of endeasrment) a "homer" and part of Coach Osborne's staff ran the program into the ground. His hire of Bill "I Won A Super Bowl With Someone Else's Players" Callahan had to be the one of the single most boneheaded move in sports history. Instead of a football power, they attempted to turn Nebraska football into a marketing machine; instead of beer and pretzels, "Pedey" and " Cally" brought their brie and wine with them to Lincoln. "Pedey" gave us the reincarnation of the "Slick Willie" administration. Fortunately, it only lasted 5 years instead of 8.
