Maybe the culture of leaving or getting fired? Who knows
What's your point? That this fellow is exactly like Trev Alberts?
No link but it sounds like Dr. Jeffrey Gold has been recommended for President.
It appears that the predictions of a long drawn out hiring process resulting in a rudderless athletic department adrift in rough seas with a typhoon on the horizon were spot on. 
The Regents were to announce their prime candidate today.
Chris Dunker saying all votes were in and that two Regents left the room to call Dr. Gold.
Count me in as a " corn flake".
Left a job after 5 1/2 weeks.
Didn't regret in the, don't regret it now.
My integrity is more important than a paycheck.
The point is that a lot of fans are all over Trev for making a chance and not sticking to a commitment. The new hire has the same path.
To be clear, I'm not indicating any one person. Just a general observation that the shoe fits both situations.
I would say both situations are similar. People are pissed at TA because of what he said not just a few months ago. I have no idea if this guy said anything like that about the job at Washington.

I’m only a few miles from UW, so have a good read on Dannen’s hire and short stay. They liked him. Considered him to have the weight to make the transition to the new conference. And UW is no picnic — complicated fan base, donors, and community in a major city. Big budget. Successful teams with a lot of expectations. Anyway, he made some good hiring/firing decisions, especially with the DeBoer surprise. It’s a ridiculously short tenure here to evaluate but I think he did a really good job in difficult circumstances. A live-fire guy, if that makes sense. I can’t speak to his UNI or Tulane years. Or why he left UW… other than like I said, UW is a complicated place.
Lookee how fast Nebraska big wigs can make decisions! Now that the politicians have realized how exposed their fancy little careers are to looking like they are hurting Husker football and athletics.
And yes, this decision in some way had to be signed off by the Board of Regents and the governor, at least informally. The interim President would either ask or conclude it was apparent to him that he would not be criticized or removed for making this move. Most likely he was told or understood that, YES!, the politicians would VERY MUCH like him to hire someone Matt Rhule likes, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, to get the spotlight off them.
