It's Tom friggin Osborne! It will be seamless! He's that kind of a man! Bigger and better than the situation!
If John Smith had been hired, boosters X, Y & Z would have been pissed off.Pissing off boosters already. Atta boy pearlman.
They said at the announcement last week that Osborne approached Pearlman 2 months ago that it was time. So I'm sure a large part of the actual search took place before the announcement.I've never liked the idea of boosters running a program with their money to the extent that they dictate our hires.Pissing off boosters already. Atta boy pearlman.
Hire the best man for the job from a standpoint of how well he'll do the job.
Also, the speed of the new AD hire suggests that Perlman knew about Tom's retirement well in advance (not surprising) and that he's been working on this one for a while.
I heard the same, that he will remain AD-Ameritus through June 2013. This is a good thing for him to be around. I dont know if Eichorst will be one the job immediately or not until january, but any time spent observing TO's proceedings can only be beneficial.TO also agreed to stay involved for 6 months after his retirement and to be involved in all of the upgrades going around, to make sure they stay on track. He is retiring from the AD position, but still will have a voice, as this is what he promised on his retirement.
I highly doubt, whoever they hire, will clean house.
Heard it from more than one person, sir. Regardless of who was recommended.Thats kind of odd that TO recommended him then.paul meyers may stick around but he is not getting the job because he and TO have gotten into more than one argument recently, mostly about modernizing traditions etc.First task as new AD for Eichorst: keep Paul Meyers.
Edit: He was actually one of 3.
HOOGIE PRINGLE!If John Smith had been hired, boosters X, Y & Z would have been pissed off.Pissing off boosters already. Atta boy pearlman.
If Bob Jones had been hired, boosters A, B & C would have been pissed off.
If Hoogie Pringle had been hired, boosters M, N & O would have been pissed off.
Doesn't matter who was hired. Some booster(s) were going to get pissed. It's inevitable.
3+6=9 months3 months should help prepare him.
Hoogie Pringle would've been one hell of a hire!!!HOOGIE PRINGLE!If John Smith had been hired, boosters X, Y & Z would have been pissed off.Pissing off boosters already. Atta boy pearlman.

There will not be 100% unanimity (wow I spelled that right the first time) for whoever we hire.
I think the association between Eichorst and the poor attendance at Miami football games is weak at best. I think he a younger guy who has the talent at his position, but just hasn't been at a program that can unleash that talent (i.e. Miami). Miami and Nebraska are two different beasts.
We'll see what happens, but color me skeptically optimistic of this hire.
I'm not stating they didn't have a difference in ideas from time to time. But I know absolutely that TO did not block him from getting the job.Heard it from more than one person, sir.
