Nebby just fired their AD

[kicker22]

On the bright side; I see things getting much worse before they get better. Can only pray it gets much much worse and takes years to remotely recover.

It's only fitting...They fire coaches that were winning, but not winning championships. Now they can't seem to find a hire that equates to what they let go. At this point maybe they should really look at what the current state of athletics is at Nebby and try to forget who they once were a long long time ago.

This sucks, if they make a good hire...Nebraska could be slightly better than mediocre. That's not good for anyone.

Those releases are typically always going to say that....unless it's something public like Baylor or Penn State. My understanding is that there was alcohol issues that played a large part in his dismissal...which also cropped up at Ohio U.....

I actually think Solich was fired for his record. They would have overlooked literally anything else if he were winning more games. The year before he went 7-5 (I think?) so that sealed his fate unless he made it to a major bowl. The other rumors might just be window dressing.

I agree 100%. It's ironic that coaches get alcohol problems when they're having anything other than stellar seasons and meeting the expectations of the fans, university, and media. I guess coaches only drink or make poor decisions when they aren't having amazing seasons.

Wasn't there a recruit with Iowa ties out of Parker, Colorado that committed to Nebraska?

Riley can start planning on putting his house of the market I suspect.

Also I'm sure Scott Frost will be getting a call down the line.

that's exactly how long riley has...as long as it take for Frost to feel he's ready to take kNU.

Pretty telling that the President and Chancellor said at the presser that they would like to get back to what they had in the mid '90's. We knew much of the fanbase was delusional, but it seems even the high salary bigwigs don't realize the landscape has completely changed, either.

Was he the genius who thought it was a good idea to bring Nebraska to a good conference? That's the decision that really cost them.

No, it was Saint Tom Osborne who did that.

1 if they lose to Rutgers this weekend.

Fingers crossed man....

 

[NEIChawk]

The fans probably want Bob Devaney's ghost and Tom Osbourne as co-AD and co-FB coaches.

The ghost of Nebraska past Ebenezer

IDK, word on da street was that he committed due to Diaco. That may or may not be true.
