YellowShirt Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Quote Often after an athletic director firing, a school promotes an associate A.D. as an interim. Nebraska has at least 10 associate A.D.s on staff making $150,000 or more annually. None apparently will be chosen to temporarily lead the department. Rimington reached out to for interim AD spot. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/nebraska-reaches-out-to-former-husker-star-dave-rimington-as/article_887ea34a-9f0f-11e7-9d6f-ffd600520b7f.html If this happens, he has to be the front runner for the full time gig right? Why uproot and come for a couple months and go back to what you were doing before. Also interesting they aren't going to promote someone within on an interim basis. Quote Link to comment

returnnutoglory95 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Husker Q said: Interesting that the ADs say the most important part of the job is culture building. Nebraska has had a special culture that Pederson and Eichorst did not know/fit with. I do like the idea of Alberts or Rimington because they know what Nebraska culture is and should be. https://www.si.com/college-football/2017/08/17/athletic-director-rankings-joe-castiglione-kevin-white What a great article. What words are used the most to describe the most important traits? INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Two things that Eichorst had none of. Neither did Pederson. Also Culture. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hans Gruber Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I've heard some people (nobody in the know, just speculation) mention Jamie Pollard from Iowa State. I don't think he'd be my first choice, but I think he's worth mentioning. Iowa State is a difficult place to win and Pollard seems to have done a decent job. I thought the Cyclones would suck at men's basketball after Fred Houberg left, but it seems like they haven't missed a beat. I think Matt Campbell was a solid hire in football. I don't know if Pollard hired Paul Rhoades or not. Pollard claimed he wasn't a candidate, but that's what everyone says until they're hired. Anyways, he wouldn't be my first choice, but I figured he was probably worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment

One could argue that he (after he stepped down) handed the program over to Solich and hired Bo and look how both of those decisions turned out. Ultimately it won't be him making the decision. Both of those were good, sound decisions. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 USA Today database of athletic department revenues/expenses from 2016. This looks to be only public schools, so no TCU for instance. Nebraska #22 in revenue at $112M (and that w/o a full share of BTN money). Expenses of $104M. For the record, Omaha is #132 in revenue at $20M and expenses of $22M. Quote Link to comment

So I guess Chris Del Conte is my leader in the clubhouse until someone puts forward a better option or Del Conte says no. Throw as much money as you can muster at Byrne, then start sacrificing goats to whatever gods you need to. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Possible Rimington as interim AD. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/nebraska-reaches-out-to-former-husker-star-dave-rimington-as/article_887ea34a-9f0f-11e7-9d6f-ffd600520b7f.html Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 As this article states, if MR is fired, then we will be paying a total of $379,000 per month for Bo, SE, MR. $4,548,000 per year up to Feb, 2019 BO: $128,000 a month through February of 2019 SE: $81,000 a month through June of 2019 MR: $170,000 a month through end of season 2020 (if fired at end of season or sooner) While this is a lot of money, I believe the admin has made the decision that it is a small price to pay to right the ship and do it correctly this time around. https://hailvarsity.com/s/2251/the-price-to-pay-for-nebraskas-rebuild 1 Quote Link to comment
sho Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Any talk of Ed Stewart? Works for the Big XII right now, but I remember before Eichorst was hired, there was some talk of him coming to fill this role. Quote Link to comment

Then they each write a name down on a slip of paper. Then all the slips are put into a hat. Next, they have someone draw a name out of the hat (usually nose goes). Boom! There's your new AD/Coach/etc Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Rumor around Fort Collins is that Nebraska is interviewing CSU's AD. Joe Parker Has experience at Texas, Washington State, Oklahoma, Michigan. 1 Quote Link to comment
