I kind of gave up on Fred.  I’m glad he didn’t give up.  He still doesn’t have rock star ballers.  I hope he can snag a few.

Help me out....

 

Is this where we start insisting there's something wrong with the culture if so many guys are leaving???

This one surprises me as well.   He got hot a few times this year, but was inconsistent.  Was decent coming off the bench.  KT is gone and now it’s time to step up.  
 

Something is off for me.

He really needs to read Huskerboard.  If he’s serious about winning he needs to understand we have to ditch adidas and change the music that plays in the stadium.

I'm working on my thoughts on the players that could/should come back next year like the last two years.

 

Hopefully I've got something later this week.

Are you going to start a new thread when you have your thoughts or will it go in this one?

Damn.  Was hoping he would stick around.  In limited minutes, he seemed like someone that could be a main rotation guy next year. 

 

 

He made some plays, but in general I thought he looked like he was in slow motion.  Not the effortless way, the I’m slow way.

Pretty lucky to be down by only 14.  Need to play some D second half.  This is doable.

They are good.  The refs hosed them in Lincoln.  Nebraska was lucky to come away with the W that day.

They don't, but someone has to throw the ball for the WRs. A lot of times it's alumni or the current QB, we just don't really have any of those. Martinez coming back would be a bit odd, Thompson is somewhere else, and the guys working out in front of scouts would have been wise to politely decline Haarberg  throwing to them.

Zac Taylor is off right now.  Frost is probably still on the payroll.

Reduced revenue from the state because Pillen didn't get his way?  If that's what is being said.....Nebraskans really need to think about who they vote for in that office.

You realize this happens in just about everything right?

I’m not a fan of what the selection committees did here. This should be about the players and coaches. Not an AD. 

If the selection committees ever considers who an athletic director is I “wouldn’t be a fan”.

It’s a tournament.  Go play basketball.  I also think Houston is beatable.  By us?  Let’s get past the first round.

Huge Dreamer.

I actually think this sums it all up and I’m moving on.  He did a lot of good things.  He probably could have done more.  But that’s not real life.  Even if you’re the best, you’re going to have to work with what you have.  Many chose to do the best they can in the environment they are in.  Others don’t.  It is what it is.
 

The more I read, the more I think this was a douche move.  This just adds to his dump truck full of douche moves.

Huge Dreamer = Sourpuss to me. Peace out Trev.

If he was so disillusioned like some here are trying to paint it, why would he sign a contract renewal in November?

Why wouldn’t you?

Wonder if he'll be welcomed to UNK went he gets s#!tcanned by A&M.  You have to think he wants to complete the hat trick of screwing over Nebraska Universities.

He won’t get canned.  He will quit.

His history indicates he will not fulfill his contract.  It appears the only job he’s ever left on decent terms is UNO and there are holes in that too.

I keep seeing this posted out there, and I just don't see it.

Greene retired. He was old and done.  

Carter left for one of, if not the top President job in the country

Trev, as has been stated, didn't get his way and took his ball and went to what will probably be a worse situation.

 

I get it, everyone wants to blame politics, but sometimes it's just the situation that we are in.

 

I will concede the President search has taken way to long, but how long should it take? What is the normal search time for a University President?

 

Maybe they have someone in mind, and Trev didn't like the new guy for whatever reason?  It's ALL conjecture at this point.

Rose said this morning on KFAB that Greene was the wrong hire.  I have no idea, I’m just repeating.

If Greene was the wrong hire and Trev is just being Trev, I think it changes this narrative a bit.

Just now, knapplc said:

That is a very interesting pattern of leaving jobs for Trev. No matter what else may be wrong in this situation, we can't ignore this isn't the first time (or second, or third) he's departed a job like this. 

 

Good info, you guys.

It’s “I’m taking my ball and going home”….Game over.

And we can continue to dig up his alleged old flaws from past jobs all we like, but there is little doubt Trev was a great ambassador had NU athletics going in the right direction.  The next AD isn't going to be Mr (or Mrs) Perfect either.  

I think he did a great job.

But I also think burning down everything because he left seems absurd.  We seem to want to question everyone but Trev.  He appears to have a significant history of not following through on commitments.

Failing to fulfill the promise that made him the No. 5 pick in the 1994 NFL draft, linebacker Trev Alberts retired yesterday after three injury plagued seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.

 

The Colts announced the retirement a day after the former Nebraska star failed to show up for scheduled reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder.

 

"It was something that was hanging out there that needed to be closed, and now it is," said Bill Tobin, vice president of football operations for the Colts.

Kind of seeing a pattern here right?

Trev quit ESPN by not showing up Labor Day weekend in 2005 because he thought he was playing second fiddle to the Gameday crew.

 

John Walters, SI.com

 

ESPN fired Trev Alberts on Sunday after the college football analyst failed to show up for work at ESPN's studios in Bristol, Conn.

 

"He phoned and said that he wasn't going to show up," Mark Shapiro, ESPN's Vice President of Programming and Production, told SI.com on Tuesday night, "and when he didn't, he was in breach of his contract and we terminated him."

 

Alberts, a former All-American defensive end at Nebraska and member of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, was embarking on his fourth season as part of ESPN's popular College Football Scoreboard and College Football Gameday team. But on Sunday morning, in the midst of college football's first big weekend of the season, Alberts phoned ESPN's coordinating producer of college football, Ed Placey, and voiced his discontent.

 

"He phoned us and told us that he was unhappy with his role on College GameDay," said Shapiro. "He felt that he was playing second fiddle."

 

As the day wore on, according to both Shapiro and Alberts, there were several conversations between Alberts and ESPN senior vice presidents Jed Drake and Norby Williamson. Finally, Alberts announced that he would not be reporting for work that afternoon (ESPN and ESPN2 aired three college football games between 3:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.). Once Alberts failed to appear for his studio show assignment with host Rece Davis and fellow analyst Mark May, he was fired.

 

"They first wanted me to resign," Alberts said on Tuesday night from his Atlanta home. "Then they fired me. I obviously have a serious problem with the word 'breach', but that's something my attorney will work out."

Didn’t he have drama with Colts?  Like they thought he could play and he wouldn’t?  It’s been so long ago I don’t recall.

Bruce would be great as a temporary AD; at least until we can find someone more permanent. 

I think it’s reasonable

73. Let him do it for a year or two until someone more permanent can be found. 

 

For reference sake: TO was 70 when he was hired as AD in 2007.

Seems old.  Looking for an AD, not a US President
