He did his job and earned his coin. Four/five years is starting to be on the long side for a. AD. It’s going to take a ton of effort, focus, motivation for the next landscape transition. It’s not that he can’t- he don’t want. Quote Link to comment

Gorillahawk Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 what's the chances that they already have someone either committed or in mind, and now they are doing the "national search", using a firm, act for appearances sake? Quote Link to comment

I'd say not likely. I'm sure they have people in mind on a short list - but how would Green justify paying a search firm when he already had the hire in place? Especially with the budget cuts due to COVID. 1 Quote Link to comment

You are probably right, but it did seem like a, "hey, we can get our guy right now" retirement of Moos. I have been through two of those in our HS with new coaching hires this year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guy self identified as a donor (we all know that could mean anything), but had interesting well put together thoughts. Said we struck out on option A and option B was still mulling it over. Makes me wonder, if the fact we haven’t signed the search firm contract, we’re waiting for option B to tell us no, then turning it over to a firm. Quote Link to comment

Option A was Pollard and he told us no from what I've heard. What a world where you'd rather be at ISU than NU Quote Link to comment

If he says no, open it up for a firm to pick the best available “Outsider” Quote Link to comment

He's bringing in around $750k/yr at Iowa State, hard to blame him if the ISU job is 'safer' than Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Honest question: when you think Athletic Director do you think of the person in charge of 26 different men's & women's sports programs, or the guy who be hiring or firing the football coach? Quote Link to comment

Would really be a weird time to come to school where the department bellwether hasn't made a bowl in 4 years and, oh yeah, the possibility of firing the native son increases with each losing season. Like you said, hard to blame him. Nebraska AD job is a good job, to the right person. It also comes with it's drawbacks. This job screams, up and comer, young, energetic, wanting to make a splash - not, proven, established, in a cushy place. Quote Link to comment
