That seems like absurd timing. Did they just find another way to derail their coaching search?

So Currie met with Leach yesterday and now they fire their AD.That seems like absurd timing. Did they just find another way to derail their coaching search?
With most of the SEC trying to compete with Bama by being like Bama, Leach could work.
Is he now a candidate for the coaching job?
So if Fulmer is the AD doesn't that give Tee Martin a lot better shot at the job?
HIring an AD without a sitting AD in place might even tougher than it's been for them. Hard to imagine it could be any worse but I think it did get worse...they better bring back Phil and quickly.I guess the other way to interpret things might be that he signed Leach - and then they said thanks - now leave
Every time I open this thread I thank God for Bill Moos.
WOW. Sounds stableCurrie had only been there since April. So now they are looking for their 5th football coach in the last 10 years and their 4th athletic director in the last 7.
WOW. Sounds stable
Very well saidWe're just as bad. 4th coach and AD in the last 9 years. It's kind of crazy that 2 outsiders, Bounds and Moos, are bringing back a golden child of the Osborne era to right the ship. I haven't felt this relaxed for Husker football in a little over 20 years.
Tom/Bo were very good hires. Bo could have worked out fairly well, a player or two or bounce or two and we could easily have gone to multiple bcs bowls. That is all you can ask for in a 7 year period... to win 70% of your games, and have a great chance at BCS bowls in half of those seasons. Bo was an unprecedented egoist though, and Eichorst was the worst hire possible. Eichorst was hired purposely to destroy Bo after his defiance post Texas A@M game. That was the defining game of his tenure. I don't know about conspiracy but he was limited in who he could recruit, and who he could hire to replace his lost coaches, who were forced to move on due to their behavior. After 2011 Bo was exclusively coaching for a chance to take the Ohio State job and kept his stuff together a bit and had o.k teams and recruiting. But after the tape and the collapses in 2012 and 13 against top competition he lost that opportunity and just gave up. He then blamed Nebraska and the AD for him losing a chance at his dream. Bo was a great hire, with tremendous potential. He matched up so well culturally with NU, that even after all he did, a large portion of the fan base still wanted him. Riley was a bad hire, Bo was not.
Bo was a terrible hire. No HC experience, horrible disposition, poor role model, stubborn, marginal in-game skills, and average recruiter. Especially since Patterson was available and wanted to come.Tom/Bo were very good hires.

You left out Ronnie Green. Green while not a native Nebraskan nor NU alum married a small town Nebraska girl and he's the one I think that drove Moos's hiring and likely told Moos there was one name to keep at the top of his list. We have the possibility of a long run with a guy who we can all be proud of as the Husker football coach. IF for some reason things don't go well at first you have patience and let him adjust staff as need be to make it work. I have little doubt that he'll get it done. It's just a matter of how long it takes.We're just as bad. 4th coach and AD in the last 9 years.

So did the Leach deal officially get nixed with the AD firing?
