What does this hire tell us?

[StrongArm517]

just guessing but since it is not a former Husker or a direct link to Frost, I'm thinking it means a compehensive national search for a coach. An experienced guy who has done this before, probably with tons of connections and recent success of bringing life to a football program. Prayer chain now that it works this time.

That the NU administration is clueless.

That they like leaders on the edge of retirement?

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

That we like giving folks retirement windfalls

If he managed to hire a coach that turned out to be a success then he could retire asap and I wouldn't care.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

What it means is that he is a five year plan kind of hire. The goal of which is to fire Riley, find a solid head coach, and turn the football program around. If he doesn't do that he won't last past five years anyway.

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

A successful coach doesn't want his AD to retire, that's the point

You're making a mountain out of a molehill, we had our young buck and he hired our current coach. Obviously Moos has shown more than once that he was capable of making the right decision.

 

[cidsports]

There is more to a strong AD, then hiring coaches. He also has hired some strong coaches over the years.

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

Moos isn't batting 1.000 and not knowing who will be the AD in 10 years will hurt us trying to go after young coaches like frost/campbell

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Oh please. As the Osborne example shows us, if you are the football coach at Nebraska, and you are very consistently successful and playing for titles, then you get to tell the AD what to do, not the other way around

We're at Nebraska...Win in football as a head coach and you're the boss..

 

[headcard]

No an unsuccessful coach doesn't want his AD to retire

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

Oh please. As the Osborne example shows us, if you are the football coach at Nebraska, and you are very consistently successful and playing for titles, then you get to tell the AD what to do, not the other way around

Remember you have to win first before you can tell the AD anything.

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

No an unsuccessful coach doesn't want his AD to retire

So we're both right.

 

[H8FULLGR8]

This hire tells me.........

Wait for it.........


Iowa sucks.

Exactly. Especially when the (probable) plan is to have Remington come back when he turns 60.

 

[StrongArm517]

IMO his theme was “fit”. That’s speaks to hiring someone who gets Nebraska. Hopefully Frost.

Ooops.

Exactly and rightfully so.

Hopefully Riley, That means he won out,

A Successful coach doesn't care. Think John Cook cares at all who the AD is? I doubt he lost 1 minute of sleep over this whole process.

Cook has been winning games here decades before Moos got here. New coach hired will not have that foundation yet. Apples and oranges.

 

[Blackshirt316]

This tells me we at least won't be penny pinching when we hire our next coach. Thank god.

 

[planored]

Tells me the admin understands the cash cow needs serious upgrades. Bounds and Green know They need a fix and hope they don't go cheap any longer. Spend 5-7m a yr for a stud coach, chump change

 

[TruHusker]

I swear, no matter what comes up, there is always a way to spin in to the extreme and some possibilities that make a normal person's head explode.

so now just how close was anyone on this board to getting any of this right? Who predicted Moos as the new AD? Who even knew they were this close to a deal? So everyone now has to concentrate on why he was picked and how that affects the yet to be determined head coach IF there is one.

I would love to see Riley turn this around and get more time, just to cool some jets.

Who knew on this board about Moos? I would wager zero.

 

[inWV]

This events of this season has revealed that the derp level among the fan base that posts to this board is higher than I envisioned.

 

[planored]

Who knew on this board about Moos? I would wager zero.

Most people don't know of any AD's except maybe a few, the reports and people in the know think he make a lot of sense. Good experience what else you want, time always tells! His age means nothing to me, guys like this go until 75-80 yrs old.

 

[barney44]

I know of maybe 6 or 7 AD's and that's it.. I don't know anyone who really cares who the AD's across the country are so I'm betting few cold name more than most.
