I am very happy, more so that I trusted my big, fat gut on this hire. Nebraska Football Rhules

I do hope he can keep Mickey

I don't see how. I want to see Mickey get a HC position somewhere.

He won't fulfill his 8 year contract!!!

Can we let the guy actually get started before this garbage starts? Good grief.

If he's so successful that he's at risk to get pulled away before the contract is up . . . sounds like a good problem to have vs what we've dealt with the last several years.

I like the hire, and I think Trev handling of this situation was picture perfect. He supported Mickey and the players while conducting a search that did not distract from the players. IMO, he conducted this perfectly.

Yeah, how Trev kept the rumors down to basically nothing was impressive. I think we got a top tier guy who will, understand Big Ten football unlike SF. My next wish is this: retain Mickey Joseph on the staff. I know that won't happen because MJ is going to a head coaching job and will have his team in the top 20 in 2 yrs.

8 year deal per Sean Callahan

Trev is a DUDE. Nailed this whole process.

8 years? That's the contract? He'll be gone in half the time.

By his phone interview I say he keeps MJ

Where else will he go? Not the NFL. If you haven't noticed Big Ten coaches stay put. It is the top of the coaching hierarchy. The only way you are right is if he pulls a Frost and falls flat on his face.

Agree completely. The people who have been critical of Alberts because they thought it was taking too long or who will now be critical because he didn't hire Urb or Deion are nothing but nattering nabobs of negativity.

Ok, we hired a guy that has had success in college and gave him a lucrative long term contract, but the real question on everyone's minds...

@BigRedMax, what will the new koozies say on them?
