Bounds leaving




Bit of a shock?

Wow! Was just told this weekend by a friend that Bounds was not well liked as he was a micro manager and people were getting tired of his act. With that being said I hear really good things about Chancellor Ronnie Green. I'm curious with the departure of Bounds if some of the Moos rumblings quiet down.

When I read his resignation letter it seemed to me he was leaving due to burn out. Now with your note of him possibly being a micro manager it would make sense as that seems to be one of the fast tracks to burnout.
 




As long as they let a guy sign off that is leaving I suppose. I wouldn’t tho.

I'm not downplaying the importance of a basketball coach, but in a university system the size of Nebraska, with 4 locations and dealing with the academic/business side of it, I don't see why getting a President's blessing, who won't be in the mix for probably a year, is all that important for something that's pretty far down the ladder in the scope of things.

I'd also feel that there is a reason you have Green and Moos making the kind of salaries they make. Unless you are trying to hire someone with a horrible past, like Pitino, I don't see the need for a blessing.

He wasn’t giving a blessing one way or the other. He was giving a signature. A contract this size has to be signed by the President.
 
Leadership void upcoming. Will take some time for Green, Moos, Frost and MBB to ‘know’ the new boss. Hopefully this is a wake up call to the Legislature. Enough w the budget cuts.

That shouldn’t be an issue if his plan is to stay on until end of summer. The idea that the business of the athletic department would be put on hold until a new president were named seems unlikely. The damage done to the program hanging in limbo would be substantial. I’d prefer Bounds be a part of the decision over an interim President.
