whateveritis1224 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Over the past 2 weeks Dirk has done a profile of Mr. Shawn Eichorst, NU's new AD. IMO it's a great write up that gives great information on where Eichorst has been and also shedding light on what he's done at each stop.

Mavric Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Said Bo Ryan, the Badgers' basketball coach: “He didn't have to be a glad-hander. He didn't have to be a 'Woo-woo!' guy. I hate those phony guys. ... What you see is what you get. I'll tell you, coaches really like that.” Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've heard Bo and Shawn have hit it off pretty good. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 His impressive resume combined with the fact that he's been staying quiet behind the scenes and trying to get a firm grasp of the Nebraska culture make me pretty confident that we have a good guy. Great articles by Dirk, too. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/70256/nebraska-ad-our-brand-is-as-good-as-ever I really like this quote. "We're not far away." Eichorst has had "great conversations" with Pelini since arriving at Nebraska and looks forward to working with the coach in a more defined role. "He's highly regarded," Eichorst said. "He's a very smart, intelligent, disciplined football coach. His players like playing for him. The team concept, we're graduating our kids at a high level, good character. All the things you want in a leader of your football program, or any program for that matter. ... The thing that I can do is let him do his job and provide him with the resources necessary for sustained success. At Nebraska, we have the ability to do that." Let the man do his job. Eichorst also knows Nebraska has everything anybody could want. We just have to give these coaches everything they need to be successful. I hope we start putting maybe even a little more money on the table for recruing and also for coaches salaries. If you want to be the best, it is becoming clear that you have to be willing to dig deep. I think Eichorst understands this. Quote Link to comment
