Decoy73 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 7 minutes ago, Red Five said: This should also put to bed Nebraska's obsession with hiring former players for any position in the athletic department. Frost was an epic disaster as a head coach. Trev bails for a bigger paycheck before the job is done (FB returning to upper tier B1G, stadium project). If he leaves, I'd be surprised if it were just for more money. Seems like he had it pretty good here and doesn't seem the impulsive type. Quote Link to comment

That is the only thing that makes sense. Big cash grab prior to retiring. Quote Link to comment

I'll always appreciate Trev and what he did here....no matter if he stays or goes. He was exactly what we needed at the time and he has done well. But, it's really going to suck if we lose him. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dr. Strangelove Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 34 minutes ago, Wistrom Disciple said: I disagree that losing Trev would be a major loss. As we saw over the past 20+ years, getting the AD position right is vital to success. As for A&M being a worse job than Nebraska? Maybe, but it's a totally different dynamic and a whole lot more money. A&M is a worse job because of external expectations and booster ego's that compete to run the place. They have very little success in sports because they have 20 mega boosters pulling Athletics in 20 different directions. There's a reason they've never won anything before, it's a pressure cooker without a leader. It does pay more than Nebraska and boosters with more money. But he's going to inevitably be fired because TAMU inevitably fires all their ADs. 30 minutes ago, Red Five said: Disagree. We have firsthand experience with what terrible ADs can do to athletic programs. Trev finally has had everyone rowing in the right direction. As far as replacements, we have no one person in place to hire the new AD. No one is going to want to come here without knowing who their boss is. Trev has some good things going, but it's also important to look at his leadership objectively. Trev was hoping to upgrade the stadium - a $450 million dollar project literally everybody knows is significantly less than the actual final cost - by getting $200 million in private donations. This was and still is a terrible idea. Both because it's dishonest to pitch a knowingly underfunded project to the public, but also asking for private donations for anything that isn't NIL collectives is a catastrophe. Donors have a finite amount of money, and every dollar donation that isn't NIL related is a waste. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Its like we are losing an unproven recruit that came in a played well for a few years. Quote Link to comment

Micheal Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If Trev leaves I'm going to be very disappointed in him. You can't mess over your alma mater like this. Like what the heck. I'm getting tired of Nebraska getting hosed over and over. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just now, gobiggergoredder said: He’s gotta be 70 right? 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. Quote Link to comment
