If only people could understand its about championships and nothing less.Truth. But that won't matter, because he doesn't match the integrity of this great state.

This is billion-$ business. The bottom line is winning games and making as much profit as you can. Being a nice guy or having strong character has nothing to do with it.

Right, we need someone to get us back to 9-3. That also means we probably aren't luring the guys away that are looking for a 9-3 to take to 12-0.

Urban Meyer is interested only because the Nebraska job has become a cash cow, plain & simple. We've got a whole series of coaches now, who came here for the dump truck full of cash they would "earn" and then the three dump trucks full of cash they would get paid to leave after they have dashed the hopes and dreams of eternally optimistic Nebraska fans.
AD Steve Pederson fires Solich with no plan to replace him whatsoever. He woos Urban Meyer when he as still at Utah (5 year contract worth $400K/year). He interviewed interim Head Coach Bo Pelini and former NU QB Turner Gill, but hires Bill Callahan.
AD Pederson is fired and replaced by Tom Osborne, who fires Callahan and hires Bo Pelini.
Osborne retires as AD (for the 2nd time) and is replaced by Eichorst.
Eichorst fires Pelini and hires Riley.
Eichorst is fired and replaced by Moos.
Moos fires Riley and does what he was brought to Nebraska to do - hire Scott Frost. The inexplicable thing he did was to later give him a contract extension.
Moos suddenly "retires" and is replaced by Trev Albert. His Job One is to fire Scott Frost and hire his replacement, but not until some apparently powerful boosters finally understand Frost is never going to be the answer.
Frost gets a bigger buyout than the previous three coaches combined (though not by much). Alberts has bought himself some time to deliberate by making Mickey Joseph the interim. There is an outside chance Mickey shines and makes his job difficult, but make no mistake - Trev Alberts reputation as an AD is going to be based entirely on how this decision plays out. Osborne is the only one who made a good decision at HC hire, and I hope he's still serving as a consultant (for both Mickey and Trev).
I just don't feel good about Urban Meyer. He's just a ...

Meyer was the leading vote-getter before today. Wonder where he stands now.

The ironic part is ppl against him seem to hold his dalliance at the bar last year with that woman and Jacksonville going poorly as reasons not too. Yet for the most part haven’t brought up his mishandling of his assistant coach domestic abuse which was by far the worst thing attached to him.
I agree with you, as I’ve said a few times here. If I wanted guidance on morals and wholesome life I’d go to church. We know football is horrible for the body and ppl make millions of kids playing this game, yet some wanna act like it’s morally wrong to bring in urban.
give me f#&%ing excellence on the field on Saturday’s so I can be a cocky SOB the rest of the week. I’ll find my moral compass from other sources

Pederson was widely supported for the AD. He was a "Nebraska guy" who had success as the Recruiting Coordinator in the 90s. He had experience at Pitt, we just didn't realize that he turned into an ego-maniac bad guy during his time at Pitt.

Funny story. During that time I worked part time as a doorman at a lounge. We had a costume party. Two guys dressed up like Pederson and Callahan. They won the contest!
