That's an interesting post.

I know I can be overly critical, which can get old, too.  So, yes, pot meet kettle.

Everyone's getting along! We should all do this more often!

 

Re: the search. I like this. I think the biggest thing I want is someone with connections. I want someone who's navigated a few major hires.

Riley is going to announce his "Retirement" at the end of the season so that he can take the AD job at NU.  He then goes on to announce he "thought long and hard about his replacement" and ultimately "decided" on Scott Frost.

Just glad you caught why it was interesting.

According to Mitch Sherman he was contacted but pulled his name from consideration:

 

"He reportedly told his staffers in an email on Wednesday that he had been contacted by Nebraska's search firm and asked to interview — and that he turned down the opportunity."

Considering he's proved to be below-average at best in hiring football coaches, I'm voting no.

 

Now Associate AD for Public Relations, that could work.

I knew it would be thrown back in my face, as soon as I was typing it out.

As long as he isn't allowed to hire his buddies it would be fine.

Shawn Eichorst didn't suck.

If that is the best thing you can say about a hire...you made the wrong hire...unless you work at the Bunny Ranch...in which case that person would have been fired for the very same reason.

So he couldn't be trusted to do it on his own.  

 

Thus, like I said.....

This is honestly a good thing that Trev will not oversee the football program.  Just because you are a player doesn't mean you have the skills necessary to run a football and athletic program.  Just because you can play guitar doesn't mean you can teach band.

It just popped into my head who we should hire for AD.  A guy who has Husker ties. A guy who has AD experience.  A guy who has made a home run hire.
