NU Recruiting Coordinator/Staff?

[Saunders]

I find it odd that we're concerned about keeping this football staff manageable, but we have no problem hiring more assistant AD's.

Link?

Here's one of them:

Plus two other associate AD's under him. We're paying over $500K a year for these guys and we threw in $150K in "moving expenses."

Not sure how many of you read this in the past month or so but here it is. Decent read IMO.

Snippet from article here; It’s important to note that our commitment and support of excellence is across the board. According to the most recent available NCAA Revenues and Expenses Report for all public schools (2011-12), Nebraska ranks sixth nationally and second in the Big Ten Conference in financial support allocated toward recruiting in all sports combined and since that report was published, our commitment has increased.

LMAO Saunders45 ~ I was looking for articles as well... so now they can read them both.

Are you sure that all of those positions are new positions that didn't exist before? Or are they replacing other people.

I was going to ask the same thing. I mean he was hired as CFO. They didn't just create that position now, did they?

Is this the thread where we pretend Nebraska is financially strapped and Perlman is deliberately hamstringing the #1 revenue generating operation for the anything associated with the University of Nebraska?

Ok. Noted

Yes.

I find it interesting that simply throwing money at the issue is a worthy option.

How do you just hire 30 people to match Alabama's staff and ensure they are doing the job that is required of them? Now granted, they could have hired more than 2 but maybe taking the methodical approach is the right approach. Hire 2 to understand what is expected of them and then grow from there. I don't claim to know that this is the method they are going with but it makes sense.

When I hire people to work for me, I don't hire 10 people at once. It's too difficult to train and get my point across to everyone and ensure they know what my expectations are of them. I hire a couple and get them trained and then hire a couple more, train them and let the current employees show them how to do things, then I hire a few more, etc......

Bo asked for 6 to start, and was given 2 spots.

I find it odd that we're concerned about keeping this football staff manageable, but we have no problem hiring more assistant AD's.

I am willing to assume that if Bo wins, and stays, he then would probably be given more of what he wanted, be it recruiting staff, money, what have you.

So..............

We are hamstringing him then? We're NOT giving him everything he needs/wants?

That would be the point. We're not saying he's not getting anything. We're saying it's not enough. You can spew your figures and such to everyone else all you want. But it's not enough. Why? Becuase it can be more. It NEEDS to be more. Regardless of who the coach is and/or how much they win, the FOOTBALL PROGRAM-NOT THE COACH, should be given a blank check. Especially if the money's there. And whether it be boosters or revenue, you can bet your a$$, it's there. Just give the man what he wants or what he needs. But we haven't been, for whatever the hell reason.

Kindly refer to the fourteenth post in this thread.

Is he being givin everything possible? If he isnt, is that considered hamstringing? Because you snicker at the notion that we're not, yet, in this quoted post, you suggest he would be given more if he won more, hence, we're not currently giving everything we possibly could. That we're "holding back" until he wins.

Or are we.

What the hell is it then?

Quit dancing circles and referring to this and that and answer the frickin question.

We have in this past season racheted up to more recruiting support for the football program than Bo has EVER seen in his tenure, that's a fact.

I suspect those close to Bo know he's on shaky ground after last season. And it's been an excuse factory lately. The pre-emptive deflection effort has been impressive. Why not let this season play out? Bo's got every chance in the world to do big things this year and silence any doubts about his job status.

 

[skersfan]

My comments are about the program. We are half stepping it period. No matter who the coach is. Others have found ways to make recruiting easier. We request 6 get 2, that seems to be a money issue to me. Tom was frugal to say the least. I had thought he was the one forcing Bo into some of the choices he made. I now believe it comes from higher authority.

Recruiting is recruiting, be it for a major company, the military or the game of football. It is about face to face conversation, selling quality product and the belief in the sales person. Not a lot to learn if they have experience. I can not imagine head hunters flocking to the door for the job.

I could care less if Bo is on shakey ground, has ten more years. If this university does not invest heavily in recruiting it is bound to fail. We have a quality product, a household name (still) great facilities, we need to get them in the door, that takes planning and perseverance. 24/7 at Alabama, Saben complained about the MNC cutting into recruiting time! And with 30-60 on the staff doing it. We get 2. Nothing like giving Saben more advantages, Meyer will be the same. So if you like the hind teat, stay the course.

skersfan,

These frugal issues should be noted as extending beyond just recruiting in my eyes. And it's also beyond a monetary issue as well. You can see it in the alternate unis discussion. The changing of tunnel walk music discussion. Anything that is anything close to resembling progressive or "modernizing" with this program causes this ridiculous uproar from what appears to be a majority. Like we're so hell bent on tradition and sh#t, that we've completely forgotten how innovative and cutting edge we can be. It's beyond ridiculous. It just now feels like this good ole boy mentality that we should just be able to outwork everyone the hard way and that should be enough. Well, it doesnt work that way anymore. Those days were gone. Long gone, as of Thanksgiving weekend 2001. Now it's time to just get with the program, write the blank checks so we can get back to bringing those crystal footballs back here. It's been coming around, but we really need to put it into hyperdrive. Let's get back to being that program that was the first to have replay boards in their stadium. The first to have field turf and so on. We've seemed to be getting to within the past couple years with the East Stadium research lab and such. But I just wanted to point out that it seems to me like much more than a monetary or spending issue.

 

[skersfan]

I agree with that, it is so obvious when you look at what TN has spent in the last two years. We need change, we can not depend on the walk on program to feed the game any longer. It takes the talent the SEC gets and they get it for a reason. They out recruit us in every aspect. Our facilities are good, but we are not in the top ten any longer is my guess. We need to be right there with Oregon. You want a reason Oregon is winning. They spend the money it takes to knock down barriers. We have to get back to being that team/program/University.

I love Tom Osborne, I have known him for a long time, but some of his ideas have passed, we need new, excited, dynamic leadership it seems to me. The new AD hired a great basketball coach,so there maybe some hope.

I am near 70 years old, I guess far more active than my other blue hair friends, but I can see need for change, and the quicker the better. I honestly think the tunnel walk has gotten old and stale, needs to be pumped up. I hate the glass doors that look like they belong at WalMart.

If you want youth to be involved you have to look like you belong. I was a Marine Recruiter towards the end of the Viet Nam war. I drove a new Corvette to the schools to see the kids. Never had a problem with getting the attention. A little flash is needed. Too historic, too dead and gone. You can look at the basketball program and see dynamic change in every aspect it seems.

No I am not saying throw out the 5 MNC trophies, but make it look like we want to win another one from the time they step on the campus.

It's an imagination issue.

According to the most recent available NCAA Revenues and Expenses Report for all public schools (2011-12), Nebraska ranks sixth nationally and second in the Big Ten Conference in financial support allocated toward recruiting in all sports combined and since that report was published, our commitment has increased.

On signing day, Pelini thanked Eichorst and the “administration” for supplying private planes in January that not only helped the Huskers finish its 2014 class, but helped kick-start recruiting for 2015.

See Zoog some are satisfied with a #34 class where as Bama wants a #5 or above class every year. WE see tremendous improvement when we get a #34 class. I do not expect Nebraska to get top 5 classes, but I expect us to invest the same amount as the top teams do to get them...

Bo can be happy all he wants, he is still a beginner in every aspect of college football. Would he be happy with the effort if he had just came from Bama. I take that back, even our AD admits the coaches have no idea of what it takes to recruit (cost wise).

Well we do it our way. And of course that has lined the trophy case with many CC since 1999, the last century!!!!!!!!

We are doing just great. I blame the coaching for most of that, but we are not helping our cause, no matter who the coach is. And my guess is, if Bo is let go and we get some dynamic new coach that knows what recruiting is, they will open the vault. Or he won't come here. But if they do, shame on Nebraska for settling to be second, third or not rated best.
