Barfknecht Nails it to Eichorst

Hate if you want.  This is the truth. All of it couldn't be more perfect.  The Alvarez stuff, the Yori stuff, how he treated boosters, press, everyone. The books for coaches instead of meetings and interactions  But unfortunately it took the Football Program to lose for it to happen.  This should have happened months or years ago.  Actually he should never have been hired in the first place.  Read it all.  You will find the truth.

And Pedro.  Hate all you want.  Lee has been telling the truth for years.  he hasn't held back like many of the other writers.  he isn't afraid to tell it like it is.  READ IT.

And you and everyone else knows Osborne tried to clean up Harvey's messes.  And then Harvey took Osborne out of the hiring process for Eichorst.  Harvey's biggest mistake of his career was hiring Eichorst.  There is no question about it.

Read Chatelain's column today about Harvey:  Also Spot On.

all the papers and their writers are self-serving, but the main points made now are true and always were true even when 90% of Nebraska fans wanted to run Bo out on a rail for saying what he did about this guy.

Oh yeah and to the people here that seem to think throwing money at a problem is the answer..........Herr Eichorst got a bundle and like socialism in Venezuela, how'd that workout in the end?

Now you are pimping a Dirk article?  Holy cow just stop.  

So everything is the ADs fault unless the AD is TO then it is the Chancellors fault?  Is that how it worked(s)?

I actually find Barfknecht's and Chatelain's objectivism quite refreshing. Lee doesn't cover NU, he covers the entire Big Ten, so he analyzes NU compared to the rest of the conference, which right now isn't very good. Dirk is a columnist. He is paid to write his opinions and tell stories.  Their approach is pretty much the same, regardless of the coach.

Why do we need 10 associate ADs and why are they paid so much?  Not knowing the answer but just guestimating, the athletic department is top-heavy and bloated.  What were the arguments for not paying players?

Being personable and interacting with boosters seems like it would be important for an AD.

 
The 10 associate AD's was odd. I don't care too much about how much they are paid. NU athletic department oozes $.

One other thing Lee said (paraphrasing): Riley is a coach with a record slightly better than .500 who you would hire after a long, drawn out and ultimately failure of a coaching search. He's not a first or second choice kind of guy.

I don't like reading Lee's work for the most part, but this is one of his better articles (for whatever that's worth). The whole call to Alvarez thing was a bit dumb IMO.

 
I find this move disappointing, reflexive, and odd. SE represented Nebraska with dignity and class. Hope the next guy does the same; this act isn't evidence to me that those are priorities or even on the radar of the decision-makers. We'll see!

 
Keep hating Pedro.  The truth hurts.  Although now the truth is refreshing.  Read these columns. and all the players that are coming out and speaking up.  Hate all you want.  Everything they are saying is 100% the truth.  

Don't care if you hate them and Jason Peter and everyone else that is speaking the truth.

Harvey was the cancer that spread to the rest of his disciples.  Peterson and Eichorst are clones.  Awful, awful clones.  

All True.

RNUTG!!

Athletic departments are providing entertainment to students and alumni,

and they are about wins and losses. When athletic departments do poorly, enrollment suffers. Bounds and Green didn't want to see NU get harmed further by a disfunctional athletic department. It wasn't  a reflexive decision. They have been thinking about it for months.
