Trev Alberts named new Husker AD - 11 a.m. press conference

Pretty good summer press conference. I didn’t think it would end up being Alberts, but why not? Carter and Green seem to have gotten their guy and feel very confident in this decision, it turned out to be pretty swift - which makes me walk back my doubts on leadership. I think they hired a hustler with a lot of gas in the tank to do the gritty work.

I’m pretty optimistic over this hire. He’s been in the public eye over spats as a broadcaster and AD decisions made, but I believe he has come out better off each time. His discipline will be a good thing for this athletic department and the football coach. 
 

Does seem like Moos wore out his welcome, but dang, I hope his resume of the coaching hires at NU proves his worth.
 

Green’s final statement about their (Alberts and Green’s) commitment to the B1G was a good note too, especially highlighting the leadership and striving to be a leader in the B1G. I think that’s a small but important campaigning of goodwill and assuredness to aligning with conference goals.

Maybe Moos wasn't as well liked or people didn't like his style within the athletic department, but My God, the guy hired every single big name coach and first choice the fanbase wanted. He got Hoiberg, he got Frost, he got Bolt. Those on paper were all amazing hires and seemingly great hires at the time. Unfortunately only Bolt has proven successful right now, but even if Hoiberg and Frost don't ever get things going, at the time, it was standing ovation type hires. Moos did a fantastic job from a fans perspective.

Right there with ya. I like Amy Williams too, I think she needs time to develop that program and is on track.

I am not concerned with Hoiberg at all honestly.

Me either, I think he gets things going soon, just like I think Frost gets things going soon. But much like Frost, Hoiberg came in with the name and hype that he would be winning almost immediately. His success at Iowa State and having an NBA job on his resume would make one think that, but it's just been a little slower of a start than I think people thought. Also like the football program, it seems there is a constant revolving door of transfers coming and going.

He is recruiting at the level that I have no concerns about including the aggressiveness in the transfer portal. Compare the level of player he is getting in to what Frost is getting in....different worlds honestly. My view of Frost is more around home and want and my view on Hoiberg is more around not if but when.

I guess him living in Chicago isn't relevant.

I was 6 at the time and sacked a happy meal (nuggets, fries  and an orange hi-c, can't forget the sweet & sour)

I was 17 at the time, watching on TV with a couple friends.  We laughed at our friend who was getting yelled at by Charlie McBride b/c he was on the sidelines holding the wire to McBride's headset.  We played catch at halftime, with the surprised optimism that we were hanging in there with FSU.  By the end of the night we were sad faces, and wondering if NU would ever win a national championship.  The next year, I partied with the same 2 friends (and a few others) and we drove down to 72nd and Dodge to drunkenly party with the rest of Omaha.
