What you are getting with AD Bill Moos

[Pennsyhusker]

Let's see... hmmmm
1. Experienced AD. Check
2. From a power five school. Check
3. Helped turn around a woeful football program. Check

Everything else is rumor and political bullshit.

 

[redwine65]

this moos sounds ok, if riley has to go, Im thinking coaches who could work well with riley's passing recruits, hmmm leach? can we leach, leach too?
Im willing to forget the 70 points and locking that kid up once...
leach reminds me of bobby knight..and if we have to please pass happy fan..leech it is!

 

[TheNewNU]

Chip Kelly’s personality makes Pelini look like a warm teddy bear. Which works fine so long as you’re winning. But make no mistake, everything he does comes off as “kiss my ass, I’m the head coach”

Comin in here, where fans and the media throw a shit fit if Diaco didn’t get immediately to a presser after Ark State....... I think it’s a terrible fit. Even for a good coach.

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

Too bad Moos didn't hire Chip

 

[Pennsyhusker]

I wonder to what extent the turnaround with WSU football under his watch affected this decision?

Serious question. No agenda

 

[TheNewNU]

Too bad Moos didn't hire Chip

And? He knows him and is very respected. He took a big chance on Leach who was a Pariah and it paid off big time. He could do the same thing with Kelly, personally I see Kelly at UCLA and Scott here but I'm much more confident in Moos to make a good hire than Eichorst.

How old is Leach?

 

[StrongArm517]

Met Chip Kelly at SFO airport once. He was eating waiting for a flight. Went up to him (which some celebs hate) and get pissy with you. He was very nice, asked about our son's high school, knew it, was recruiting it and just an all around pleasant meet.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

I doubt Chip Kelly wants to coach in the college ranks again

 

[rrthusker]

sounds like a great hire for WSU, too bad its not for Nebraska.

You have no clue. Up until today I doubt you had ever heard of the man. At least give him a modicum of respect and a chance.

 

[scarletred]

How old is Leach?

56 years old.

 

[barney44]

Too bad Moos didn't hire Chip

What does it matter?

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Dang...Dan Wolken...

 

[Pennsyhusker]

56 years old.

Ok. Thanks. I thought he was older

 

[Pennsyhusker]

This. Geez people.

Michael Charles Leach (born March 9, 1961)

if folks want pass happy leach is full on pass happy, and he produces where ever he goes. plus he seems more of a people person then bo was. and if leech wants to win a NC someday. I would think Nebraska would be more helpfully in that quest then washington state...(not that there's anything wrong with washington state) NU just might have more resources. and maybe leach can recruit texas and california well

 

[tarheelhusker]

I think Chip is going to UCLA. Anyway, Moos is a fine hire. The guy was a cattle rancher in Washington and had Nebraska on his radar for 25 years. To me, the AD is a figure head. Now go get us a star. Good hire.

Cattle rancher, he will fit perfect! I never trusted Riley, always riding a bike, eating vegetables, a vegan.
I like the hire, if true! Beef, it's what's dinner!

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

You have no evidence other than your personal opinion of this. And there's a good chance it isn't even an educated decision. Give the guy a chance before you bash him

No chance.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Leave. Go root for someone else. Nebraska doesn't need you.

He has already threatened that if he does not get his way, he will do just that. Stop threatening and just do it already! Stop f-ing bellyaching all the damn time!

 

[jimbosc]

Sounds like he knows how to run a program - which is great. But he will be judged solely on firing Riley, who he hires and if that hire is successful. I am guessing what he said relative to that (who he would hire) is why he got the job. He sure as heck knows who Scott Frost is.....not sure if that means he will hire him.

 

[redwine65]

if leach could do at NU what he did at texas tech, on the field wise...that would tend to make me a lil pass happy

 

[TheNewNU]

This guy is winning the press conference

 

[8th Street]

It almost landed them in hot water.

Good thing we don't have a Phil Knight then.

But we've got Larry the Cable Guy . . .

 

[barney44]

This guy is winning the press conference

Yeah he's a pretty good at it..

He wants to be the hunted again..

 

[bomber89]

You have no clue. Up until today I doubt you had ever heard of the man. At least give him a modicum of respect and a chance.

If he fires Riley and hires a proven winner as Head Coach whose best days are ahead of him, I will change my tune. I have been drinking the Kool-aid for so long I crap red sprinkles. I am tired of winning the press conference and winning the off season. Less talk more action. Thats all I want. If he turns it around I will be glad to say I'm wrong. In fact I hope I am. after 18 years of hearing the same thing I doubt anything changes. I'm just tired of being lied too. thats all

I could not agree more with you.

 

[huskerfan1414]

If he can have a drink with the coaches and media, and be on a first name basis, and have a phone people can call and chat he will fit right in.
But it depends on his hires.
(I exaggerate slightly above...point is we need a human not a robot that eichorst was)

Well, being better than SE probably isn't saying much. Otoh, him being as worthless as SE is low, low odds. So, I'm hoping for the best!

 

[steelclaw]

Yep, people need to stop giving him credit for that

He hired Belotti, who actually is the guy who turned Oregon’s fortunes around.

 

[dinglefritz]

Well, being better than SE probably isn't saying much. Otoh, him being as worthless as SE is low, low odds. So, I'm hoping for the best!

Whether anybody wants to believe it or not, SE was brought in to do one thing. He did it and then HP retired. No coincidence.

 

[dinglefritz]

Sounds like he was being forced out too...

Bill Moos' decision to leave as the athletic director at Washington State for Nebraska is a direct result of growing friction between him/the WSU athletic department and university president Kirk Schulz, who arrived from Kansas State in June 2016. Moos twice asked for a contract extension and was rebuffed both times, according to multiple sources. Said one: “Kirk Schulz has been awful for athletics. Since he arrived, it has been tense and awkward and difficult.”

Sounds to me like he didn't want to put up with a jerk university president.

 

[SOCALHSKR]

sounds like a great hire for WSU, too bad its not for Nebraska.

Where's the dislike button?

A "figure head"? Follow him around for a week and see how that goes for ya. Yep, we pay $1 million a year for a figure head. Great deal. sheesh

 

[maplesyrup95]

Yeah? I didn’t mistype that. The farmer stuff was just for s&g’s but I meant that about the figure head. We pay our head coach 2.5 million (and likely $5 million to our next coach). Our AD makes $1 million. So you tell me, who’s really calling the shots? You think Tyronn Lue is the real head coach? It’s LeBron James. After Riley, Moos’ job will be to get a star.

And there are people wondering how it got this bad unfortunately you are right

If Chip Kelly gets hired and I hear one ****ing complaint... There isn't a coach out there right now that is a more proven winner. Frost learned everything he knows about coaching from Chip, but Frost is perfect and Chip sucks... Bull ****! I swear some people will never be happy!

DO NOT WANT CHIP. No way. Doesn't he still have a show cause from the NCAA hanging over his head?

 

[stonesak]

No. The NCAA also said he was unaware of the violations that happened while he was head coach.

 

[YouGotSwatted!]

DO NOT WANT CHIP. No way. Doesn't he still have a show cause from the NCAA hanging over his head?

And yet there are idiots here that don't want frost b/c he runs the triple option, but want the chip Kelly spread (when it's the same offense SF runs)
