Trev Alberts to Texas A&M
- Thread starter Mr.Bennett
- Start date
I heard the comment from Robin Washut on Husker Online that some are scrutinizing the timing of the announcement occurring when the major coaches are all out of town for vacation/tournament prep, and that there was no press conference, just a statement release. Insinuation is that Trev at best took the easy way out in terms of an announcement.

I’ve slept on it, and feel the same way. Given your history as a player, and now an administrator, it was awesome having someone who seemed smart, good thinker,had vision, honest, decent and loyal. When you signed your new deal in November, it gave you a serious raise, longevity, stability and top 10 pay. You said you had the best AD job there was. You said how exciting it was with all the new things happening. The teams were improved, really had some very solid momentum going. You were at the end of season one of a guy you hand picked. While NU didn’t make a bowl, again, it did have some momentum. Once to the off season, there was much good news, and the team seemed really whole heartedly happy. Things were improving, maybe even rapidly.
While everything in the academic side was somewhat in flux of late, lack of a president, and a new Chancellor, and terrible regents, maybe, your leadership was needed, to help keep things stable. I mean, you’ve preached family, loyalty, and other things in which we all know was nonsense. Instead of helping your school, the same school that made you, gave you some breaks, gave you opportunities, you decide to bail. I’m not going to call you any names or anything, but IMO, you trashed any ounce of integrity you may have. You leaving, could really hurt your school. It wasn’t an ideal time. While NU wasn’t on solid ground yet with the lack of a president, you just went to a school who is king of drama and unstableness. I’m not sure what your end game is, but most of us thought you meant it with your dream job statement. You didn’t practice what you preached, or, see the job thru at NU. You left your hand picked coach hanging. Great job. I really hope this was all worth it to you. The way you left sucked. You sacrificed your honor, and character, for your own ego. Do yourself a favor, don’t tell your new fans all the BS, as in the end, only makes things much worse. I hope it hurts like hell every time you see the color red. You did all of this…….for what?

"I'm sure he had his reasons" is where I'm at right now. Maybe those reasons are entirely selfish, or survival-based, but that would require me to have more information than I do right now. I am disappointed he left at a time when things seemed promising, but I'll need to know more before I can pass judgment. Still stunned though.
He'll hire Matt Rhule twice

Agree. It seems a lot of the talk has been about the University Leadership failing, etc. As I said earlier, I am still incredibly disappointed in Trev Alberts. He could have been the guy to stay and do his best to keep things steady here. All of the crap he preached, and now he secretly takes off to another school. Disheartening to say the least.
Money. He is gonna make tons more. That alone means things. He can retire earlier. Give his kids more. Nebraska gave me what I needed to succeed and I moved on too. It ain't no thing. No different than the brain drain. But it's on the state to make it more attractive. And that gets political.
The Regents need to start talking. If you are a Regent, and have tried to improve the situation, you need to come out and say; Things are messed up, and these are the Regents causing the problems. Short of that, recall and replace every last one of them.

There aren't many liberals on the Board of Regents given that they are elected by the people of Nebraska. Matt Williams, for example, is a solid Republican, yet lost to an ideologue. I think it's more of a battle between ideologues and pragmatists.
I am convinced the problems lie higher up. Something needs to be done and quickly.
Yesterday I was leaning towards giving him the benefit of the doubt. After reflecting on it for a day, I say the University should shun him, un-retire his number, remove his name from the stadium, and paint his jersey black to symbolize turning our backs to him just like he did to the University. I'm sure the governor talked to him, and today the Governor blamed the Regents, and I'm convinced that is where the blame belongs, but instead of tuck-tail and running, Trev should have pulled up his big boy pants, and used his substantial leverage to work to fix what was wrong.
I do not buy the money argument … board rumors suggested pre-AD job he contemplated retirement. He made really decent coin as an AD at UNO and UNL.
Money has to be the least of the reasons to leave. Not a priority for leaving. There certainly were other greater reasons.
