OWH Barfknecht: Nebraska closing in on naming next athletic director

[HuskerPowerVA]

I wonder how people would feel if Danny White is hired and Frost turns us down?  Sacrilege to say I know.  What I mean is clearly the only reason people want White is to get to Scott and I get it.  But if we had to go to coach choice #2, I wonder what AD would be better to find and lure that candidate.

It will be Jeff Long of Arkansas.

 

He then hires Brent Belima.

 

Mark this post.

And then mass suicide, rioting and looting ensue in Nebraska.

not sure which one, but one of these candidates has Wisconsin ties, so that rules them out for me!!

Some of these guys have been to Wisconsin Dells for vacation.......THEY'RE OUT TOO!!!

We hire Mullens, maybe Altman will come back to Nebraska also.

The Vietnamese gal that does my girlfriend's nails knows a masseuse that works with another gal who does house cleaning for a couple who are best friends with the people who sit next to Danny White's cousin at the UCF football games and she said he's a really nice guy.

Mullens from Oregon makes some sense.

 

Knows Scott Frost, but also knows Dana Altman, just in case basketball struggles this year.

 

Pipe dreaming here, but he could bring two native Nebraskans home.

 

Not a pipe dream now that we have money to spend.

Listen, if White is the best candidate available great, but I hope NU doesn't hire him just to go after Frost. Find the best guy for each position, this shouldn't be a package deal. That sounds like a recipe for continuing this disaster. I'd much rather have Mullens since he has experience at a pretty large and successful program than White. White might be fantastic and if he is that's great. I just don't like the thought process, "If you want Frost, get White, that'll get him here"

Well, I think either Mullens or White has a great shot at Frost if we want him.

I’ve seen posters banned for posting less offensive statements than this.

Which is totally cool, not a problem with that, like I said I just don't want us to hire Y so we can get X. I also don't want us all to say, "Frost is the only one, do whatever you have to so he comes here." I'm on the Frost bandwagon, I really am, but we should look at all options at this point. If they screw this hire up man we're so screwed.........

That’s where I’m at as well.

Exactly why I asked my above question.  This could be fool's gold.

I agree, that's silly. Anyone currently in our Athletic Department can offer Frost a job. We need someone who understands the culture and behind-the-scene influences and can handle them. I think that's what most potential candidates, including Frost, are concerned about.
