AD Search

Yep. White led the charge against the "P5 cartel" until he got an offer. Now he's in the cartel.
I don't care one way or another if he is interested, he's not getting the job, Ed is, and, oh by the way, the athletic department at ISU is broke.
He never said he was contacted. Just be happy he isn’t leaving for a decent job, yet.
And that's why things work the way they do. Fans can argue amongst themselves and really just come to their own truth. But the way it really works is contact is made through representatives. No offer is made unless there is mutual interest. When someone says they aren't interested, they are turning it down or at least turning down an interview. If they pull their name out of contention, they have been told they aren't getting the job. So on the surface, one person gets the job and nobody else was contacted or offered squat.
An A.D. would lose a lot of credibility if he/she would say they aren't interested in a job that their reps were not even contacted for.
He responded to a question on internet rumors of him going to Nebraska and said he wasn’t interested. Of course not, he’s not a candidate and shouldn't be. If you think that makes him lose credibility, I’m not going to argue with you.
And the fact that he said he wasn't interested doesn't mean he didn't apply. There are plenty of examples of people who have said that they weren't interested in a job that they actually applied for.
People say he turned down an offer or rejected, blah blah don't know jack **** about how AD searches work. It's not the same as a search for a head coach of a sport.
The university didn't even post the job opening to the public when I looked yesterday.
IMO, the two guys that they are serious about is Ed Stewart and Garrett Klassy with Klassy already going out in the media.
Listen to the questions asked in the YouTube video I posted yesterday and it sounded like a trial run to me and he aced it.
Just my opinion, but I bet Klassy officially interviews for the AD job next week.

The more I think about this, providing leadership and know how re: NIL is the reason Moos was let go. Nebraska wants to get going ASAP with NIL. They will need a Tech Media Savy Marketing background leadership to oversee this. So maybe an AD that can manage this person responsible for NIL initiatives.
He's certainly been out front for an "interim" AD. Usually you don't hear squat from an interim AD and you never hear of an interim AD extending the contract of a coach.
Yep. My gut feeling has become that Moos was pushed out in favor of Klassy and they want to give Klassy a trial run for the full-time gig and so far he has aced it. I suspect they are doing this to not lose Klassy.
The timing on Moos leaving is probably directly related to Klassy's rising profile and he being elsewhere had Moos stayed. You have a rising star, you hook onto it and take it for a ride. Let the old guy go to pasture where he belongs.
There seemed to be a lot of legs to the Ed Stewart theory and it kind of made sense. Floating his name to a national reporter to see what kind of reaction it drew from fans might have sealed his fate though with the regurgitation of that Missouri story.
I don't know that they apply. I believe everything is back channeled. The search firm would have a conversation with his agent. His agent would take the call at the very least. He might cut it off immediately if there truly was no interest. But, if there is mutual interest, the agent and AD or coach are going to demand secrecy from the university so as to not upset their bosses and fan base. Most of this can be done on the phone until the list is pared down.
Pollard has a reputation as arrogant and uppity. I'm being kind. His personality would not fit well with Husker sports. Pollard whiffed big time on the coach to replace Hoiberg. He hit it out of the park with Campbell (or was at least partially lucky) He build facilities. We don't have any problem building facilities. So, that said, I don't think we'd fart in Pollards general direction.
The new AD has to support the money sports like a beast, rub elbows/flatter the wealthy boosters and be a good overall ambassador for the university. I like what I see from Klassy. None of us are in a position to deep dive his character, personality, drive and intelligence. Hopefully we have the right people who do.
Barry Alvarez plugs Eichorst? Good enough for me. Let's get started. BARF!
Sipple talked about the AD search in the second half of his podcast yesterday. Ed's not really in this anymore based on what Sipple said. Based on what Sipple was saying I'm expecting it to be an internal hire.
And everyoe knows the internal names - volleyball coach, wrestling coach, davison, and garret

If it is a internal hire my money is on Garret..
No way is Matt Davidson qualify to be the AD at Nebraska..
I wouldn't listen to what the media has to say about the ad search. All of them had no idea Bill Moos was going to be hired.
Collegiate Sports Associates probably hadn't even submitted their recommendations at that point so the media is just guessing like the rest of us.
Dingle who are you related to that's up for the AD job? The reaction to Ed Stewart has been nothing but glowingly positive from Husker fans. You seem to be the only one bouncing from thread to thread bringing up that story that nobody cares about. A black man at the head of the Nebraska athletic department is exactly what is needed at this time.
The only question that needs to be asked of Matt is : will you make a football coaching change if necessary?
Just becasue they didn't know taht time doesn't mean they aren't going to know anything this time. You are assuming something of the past will be the same in the future.
Even then, how would he know how to evaluate if a change needs made and how would he be qualified to hire a new coach?
Nobody. In addition to being an alum of Nebraska, I'm an alum of MIzzou. Anybody that stuck around as long as Ed did in that cesspool in Columbia shouldn't be the AD at Nebraska. I want the most qualified guy to be our AD and Ed isn't that guy. Skin color has nothing to do with it.
And, BTW, Lots of people care about the story at Missouri involving Ed and the improprieties that took place.

I like Sip but I believe him to be an old drunk who doesn't have a good source in this search.
And you are assuming it won’t be the same.
logic dictates that if the media knew anything there would be more chatter than Lars in Alabama and a bunch of people parroting what he wrote 3 weeks ago.
The fact that there are very few leaks leads me to believe that the search is very similar to last time when Moos was a surprise hire.
an account that follows 200 more than it has followers, even though it claims to be 'giving athletic depts an analytical edge' for 18 years?
surely you can do better than that, eh, fraud?
