RUMOR--Trev Alberts for AD

Well, they would have been FCS like South Dakota or South Dakota State.  I don't see how they could have made the jump from DII to FBS.  

I agree with your second point, and really that's what it comes down to. IMO, even if everything went smoothly at UNO, I just don't see how he can be the best guy Nebraska can get for the position.  If he is, I think that speaks volumes about where the athletic department is currently sitting.  I mean, he's only been an athletic director since 2009, and has he ever made a major football-related decision other than ending the program?  Besides being a former Husker, what makes him better than someone with more experience and success at a bigger school that actually has a football program?  We're talking about an athletic department that will be approaching $130M/year in revenue with full B1G rights - almost top ten in the country.  This is the big leagues, and we should treat it as such.

Couldn't agree more. And as I copped to earlier in the thread, I really did mess up in starting this thread by not highlighting the news that I heard--not that Trev was the proverbial comparison object,  but that the University was going to do a full-fledged search.  

Frankly, considering we have a mega-thread for the AD search now and the University already announced that they're doing a legit search, we should really just shut this thread down or merge it with the other one IMO.

Not surprised at all.  An AD search typically isn't something that is as public and full of leaks as a head coaching position.

Agree 100%  Especially with the search firm involved where they can do contacting on behalf of Bounds and Green to gauge interest and do initial screenings of potential candidates.

 
While this may be genuine for him to take his name out, anyone think it could be some small way to save face? Say we've contacted more qualified AD's who are actually interested and it was looking clear he would not be selected. Instead of looking like a candidate who was not the best choice, by taking his name out the decision looks like it was made by Trev.

Agree 100%.  It's a good PR move by Alberts.  

 
Ed Stewart is always a name that comes up. Paul Meyers was supposedly very close to becoming the AD in the mid 80's. It doesn't need to be a flashy hire, IMO but a likeable guy and someone who understands our culture and can help guide and produce a winning tradition.

I'm not being a prick, but I swear, there is no way that this was his call to not be the next AD at Nebraska.

Lol, nice opening. I don't think anyone thinks of you like that, man.

How do you know it was not his decision, though? I mean, I know there's speculation to him ending the football and wrestling programs at UNO to benefit UNL which I don't buy at all but I also don't think Trev is a puppet. 

If you see a dumpster fire, you stay away from said dumpster fire, am I right?

Paul Meyers was playing baseball at NU in the mid 80s.
