Moos out?

I just listened to it.. you realize Sean was saying he didn't believe it was Moos... 100% his opinion, and is not fact.

I will check out the other one next
Sorry for the stupid question, but if it wasn't Moos's impetus then whose was it?

Not trying to argue -- really just wondering how it got started.
 
Honestly few are as dialed in as Sean, and then to have Damon and Sip say the same thing...well believe what you want I guess. I would like to be pointed in the direction of a media member claiming it was Bill who was trying to hide from OU. Anyone who is actually objective on this one knows how it went down, but like I said believe what you want.

objective? yet these objective others say it is their opinion, not, we know for a fact...

The AD looked into it, period, it doesn't matter who suggested it. The buck stops at the AD!

Like I said believe what you want. I'll trust the opinion of a guy who has a very close relationship with Moos (Sip).

If it was Bill, the OWH would have had added it to the list of offensives as the reason for his removal, such as not being present, spending time at his ranch, etc. but they didn't.

Multiple media members believe it was Scott who started this, and apparently had Greene on board. Moos was not aware, and when it was leaked, if you remember our athletic department took several hours on a Friday to respond, well I am sure they were hastily trying to figure out what was happening behind the scenes. Moos finally put out a statement and took the heat as is required with his role.

From this day forward, at least from an outward perspective things appeared to have changed with Moos. Instead of trying to get to a bowl game, he was now talking 8 wins minimum, really cranking up the hype. Moos was even clowning Scott saying how we even struggle to beat Illinois, which was a very odd thing to say from the AD. One could guess why his comments seemed to turn, I know what mine would be.

I will, thanks, as you clearly are. DB was never a huge fan of the Frost hire, not surprised he took the first opportunity to try to make him look bad..

I am not for or against either one of them.
 
I think the new AD will be someone, perhaps, who wasn't even on the initial "list." Trev has both admin. AD experience and is a Husker legend. He "checks" both boxes. However, I tend to agree with posters who believe it SHOULD BE someone who is comfortable and has shown great skill in dealing with media, other administrators (i.e. Chancellors/COP--BIG) and who has a person in their office who will EDIT every tweet, post, etc., before it goes out to the media. I am in administration and my deputy director and I speak in person/through email/on the phone several times a day. He is my best critic and editor. He doesn't want my job and, I don't want his--a very unique and healthy symbiotic relationship. "Nuff said.

Thanks for explaining, but yikes. If true it reflects very poorly on both Moos and Frost.
 
I read the title "Moos Out" and thought the students must be calling for everyone to wear a moose head to a game this year.

It does indeed. If true the head man was trying to remove one of the greatest college rivals to save himself, not a good look. Of course Scott doesn’t remember how the OU game conversation came up or who started it lol.

What are you talking about? When did DB say he wasn't a fan of Frost being hired?
 
SITS, your post got me thinking.

A couple thoughts, and I'm aware we all have different opinions.

1. There are always "Ed Stewarts" available. Young, smart go-getters who have a really great resume who have not been ADs yet. Is NU in a position to take a risk on one of these types, who has no experience running their own AD? I'm not sure that describes where NU stands at the current time.
2. Matt Davison is a horrible candidate. The actual Ed Stewart might be an acceptable risk if it comes to it. But Matt Davison is not.
3. Hiring friends to positions of this capacity is rarely a good move. Checks and balances are extremely important at this level. NU isn't "special" other than its AD supports itself without contributions from the general University, unlike some/most. I don't think being a past player here contributes anything to their ability to do this job. And it's a big job, no question.

I'm not of the opinion NU is in a position to hire from within. I'm on the fence about hiring an ex-husker because familiarity really doesn't have much to do with where Athletic Departments are headed, or where they've been. We are entering a new realm of existence in college athletics, with recent legislation regarding individual compensation guiding a paradigm shift, where a forward-thinking AD who embraces these changes will be absolutely paramount. NU is already jumping feet-first into sports multimedia without Learfield/IMG. They've not held ground in the B1G admin hierarchy. The AD is described as a cluster in need of direction.

In short, just my opinion, we can't get this one wrong. We need to go with an established, successful Athletic Director who doesn't need to learn as he/she goes. Too much is at stake right now. Too many new variables to compound an already complex job.
Just curious, what names out there would get you excited?
 
I don't want us to hire another "animal" or a "Karen". Speaking of which, do we need Kevin's approval to hire our new AD????????? I would assume that EdS is a good man, but looking at his AD/management experience, there is always a reason that someone is a "deputy," instead of "the big boss."
 
@RED CRUSADER, I wouldn't be so dismissive of his Deputy role at the Commissioner level. He has executive level experience at both a Power 5 school and a longer run in the commissioner's office of a P5 conference. Ed could bring some fresh perspective to the Athletic office.
