Rimington named Interim AD

[ColoradoHusk]

Can't guarantee that.

I understand that, but I don't know if Rimington wants the full time job.  I think the 60-day time period is the important piece in today's announcement.

I don't understand the process, I got nothin'.

Definitely sounds like he's NOT interested in the full-time gig.

Maybe Dave likes his current job and NYC. Maybe he has no ambition to be our AD past 60 days. 

I am with you on this.  He really likes to travel, and his current job allows him to do that.  He can manage the Boomer Esiason Foundation, live in NYC, and travel the world.  That would be difficult to do as AD for any college, let alone one in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I'd hate to be the "national search" guy with no Nebraska ties to come in and replace Dave Rimington.

Easy solution: don't let that happen.

At some point, Nebraska's going to have to find a leader, and ways to win, without glory day coaches and players.

He's stated in the past that he's not interested in being an AD.

Good choice and expected

 

[Big Red 40]

I hope it becomes permanent. Hes a very intelligent, educated guy, who  knows the Business side, the Football side, and Husker tradition.  I don't know how they could find someone better suited, if he wants the job.

Day 1 on the job "Call maintenance...We need more giant posters of my during my playing days and get some of me lifting too"  Ha

Methinks he respectfully declined, but offered his services to provide stability.

Or be the guy that replaces the guy and has to hire a guy. Timing will be interesting here. 60 days takes us to end of November.

He needs to go into the training room and ask "Where are all the steroids that we took when I was here?"

I think Dave should use the 60 days to sign off on invoices to keep the machine running and when he is not doing that he can simply stand arms crossed and scowling at the offensive line, maybe add in an occasional head shake.

Rimington should go into Cavanaugh's office and tell him "Coach, I played for Milt Tenopir, I knew Milt Tenopir, Milt Tenopir was a friend of mine.  Coach, you are no Milt Tenopir."

Bonus points for understanding my reference and where that infamous quote took place.

Will that meeting be telecast somewhere outside of Nebraska, BTN perhaps?  Not that I usually watch such things, but I got time on my hands this afternoon.
