NU Recruiting Coordinator/Staff?

[Landlord]

So is he going to be paid more as a recruiting coordinator at NU versus a DB coach at SEMO?

SEMO is a div 2 school, yes?

If so, a position coach-not even a coordinator- at a div 2 school compared to any sort of position at bigtime Nebraska? This is not surprising. I would bet he was not even making 6 figures at SEMO.

I thought this position was paying in the 50-60K range. Is that more than a D2 position coach?

Yeah I think Da Skers said we had about (or less than) 100k to allocate to these two recruiting positions.

Oh sh#t. Nevermind then. I guess I was just assuming these were 6 figure positions.

But still, to make a move like that you gotta think money has a lot to do with it. Wouldnt think he'd take too much of a hit.

Maybe he just wanted to get out of Methsouri?

That's worth a few dollars right there.

I am hoping that it is a foothold on a growing division for Nebraska. Get there, do a good job, reap the rewards, both in wins and financially. Seems like a guy that knows the past product and the type of kid we would be looking for. I think Bo sets high standards for the kids we recruit. May not be the most gifted, but the best to work with. Someone that will listen and accept coaching can be a positive. I truly would love to have had a job like this. Nothing could be more fun than selling the Nebraska product.

I hope we continue down the road, I truly feel we need to at a rapid pace.

See Zoog some are satisfied with a #34 class where as Bama wants a #5 or above class every year. WE see tremendous improvement when we get a #34 class. I do not expect Nebraska to get top 5 classes, but I expect us to invest the same amount as the top teams do to get them...
Bo can be happy all he wants, he is still a beginner in every aspect of college football. Would he be happy with the effort if he had just came from Bama. I take that back, even our AD admits the coaches have no idea of what it takes to recruit (cost wise).

Well we do it our way. And of course that has lined the trophy case with many CC since 1999, the last century!!!!!!!!

We are doing just great. I blame the coaching for most of that, but we are not helping our cause, no matter who the coach is. And my guess is, if Bo is let go and we get some dynamic new coach that knows what recruiting is, they will open the vault. Or he won't come here. But if they do, shame on Nebraska for settling to be second, third or not rated best.

Per Zoogies and other links, NU is the 2nd biggest spender in the conference.

Is Nebraska the 2nd best team in the Big Ten?

Now, it's your money.....when you're getting a poor return in your investment, how willing are you to drop more money into it?

If you factor in all sports (where the 2nd in conference number comes from) I'd say that's probably close to correct.

I realize that the Bo-leavers will ignore this, but the reason why recruiting expenses are so high is because we can't cherry pick a bunch of kids from our back yard. The coaches have to work much harder than the OSUs and Meetchickens.

Yeah, bama has 24 or so on recruiting staff, and we finally have 2. Seems equal.

And yes, Harv is hamstringing the program, and has NOTHING to do with money. There is plenty of money to get a real staff, see the salary of over paid ADSE.

 

[skersfan]

Have we now only set our sights on conference titles. Our goals have always been, since Devaney, National Championships.

If TN can spend near 3 million dollars on recruiting in two years, why can't we. Must not be a rule against it. Recruiting takes money. Like I said, on an equal basis, ours should be higher than just about any major program. We have farther to travel, more expense on flights due short notice if not in a private jet. Everything about recruiting to Nebraska is harder than just about anyone I can think of.

No I am not demanding or expecting MNC or even CC, but this program has the money to recruit on that level. We are not and whom ever the coach is today, or tomorrow is hurt by this attitude.

 

[skersfan]

According to comments on the Finebaum program a couple of months ago the number is actually closer to 60 74, How can we expect to compete?

I want who ever the coach is to have a level playing field. Bo does not. I can not be considered a bo liever by any means, but this is a major problem when he can only get 2 people approved. It is sad actually, as if we have given up and now are only worried about being semi competitive in the Big.

Now lets all read closely:

http://www.tuscaloos.../NEWS/130429991

The Tuscaloosa News for a list of UA employees tasked solely to football revealed 24 non-coaching personnel, not including graduate assistants, set to earn an aggregate total of $1.6 million this year.

That does not mean 24 recruiting coaches. That means, secretaries for the coaches, the Assistant Athletic Director for Football (aka Jeff Jamrog), etc. So lets not pretend they have 24 and we have 2. They have 24 people on the football staff as non-coaches. We have 2 recruiting staff members. That does not mean we have 2 non-coaching personnel for football, or that they have 24 people dedicated solely to recruiting. I don't know what the actual number is for Nebraska, but it is higher than 2.

 

[Landlord]

Let it be known that the money we sink into our facilities should be taken into consideration as indirectly going towards recruiting. You can't make such sweeping generalizations based on arbitrary categorizations of where money goes.

 

[skersfan]

Bama just added a ton of new facilities last year, Oregon did to. Comments on Pacman's (XM/siris) show did not even mention Nebraska's facilities but did talk about Oregon by far the biggest and best, Bama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Cincinnati.

Again, when that story was discussed on Finebaum, the actual number, (questioned by the NCAA) was closer to 60. It was stated others were placed in outside facilities or something. Supposedly the NCAA did try to limit the number, but the individual felt that Bama had circumvented the system. Who knows for sure. How it is counted, if they have 24 or 60 or 10. I just want us to be on level ground with them or put in the effort/money to be ahead of them.

You could be right, could be wrong, the 24 number I heard was from something I heard on the radio.

I have no source other than that.

what does it have to do with then? what motivation could harv have for sabotaging the football program?

There isn't any motivation for a public employee to sabotage the #1 source of revenue and exposure for its flagship school, its a red herring, and a sad, tired one at that.

Two things that crossed my mind in the last few hours:

-If Bo was getting every last cent he thought he was worth, every private plane he wanted, and recruiting staff personnel is spades, would we be seeing this PR campaign?

-If a blank check is all that's needed, how much more would it cost to get these guys to play motivated, disciplined football week in, week out?

As has already been stated and is common knowledge, Harv has a hard on for Bo, either he wants him to resign, or set him up to fail and be fired.

Idk, coach, since you know how easy of a job this is, why don't you tell us.
