Very good interview. He isn't going to become the full-time AD. I know people already know that, but he remains consistent on that. He talked about the football program, AD search and more. On the AD search, he talked about the need to hire someone that understands the Nebraska culture and also understands other things like the walkon program. Sounds to me that we could end up hiring someone with Nebraska ties. I know Jeff Long and Brett are the latest rumors that will end up being false. Doesn't sound like they are going down that path. Tom Osborne will have say in the search process (or has already). Like it or not, that is what he talked about so it would be reasonable to expect that kind of result when the hire is announced. Ed Stewart is my guess on who gets hired.
On the football side of things, he repeated several times about the need to win more football games. He spends time with donors and others of the level during football games so you can assume that his thinking will be different now than when he came back for a few weeks based on the desires of the donors. He stated the culture in the athletic department is good, but they need to win more football games. You could tell he almost tripped up by saying "we gott get a .." then caught himself and changed the course of the sentence.
