All of this was known, and Moos doing this now is laughable. Didn’t the drunk (yes, he had a major problem and many people witnessed it.. myself included) sign Frost to that extension?
I will say it again for all those who snickered and claim nothing was going on: Moos, Frost, and Davison shouldn’t be allowed within 100 miles of the stadium.
The tradition coalition (and a ton of former players) have proven themselves incapable stewards of the program.
Bill’s wife seems like a swell person. Hilarious the ignorance towards her, while the subhumans in the fanbase attacked the previous coaches wife for NOT wanting to be in the spotlight whatsoever…
Husker fans at large deserved the Frost era.
Altman certainly would have been a good hire at the time. Glad things worked out with Fred of course. The authority Pillen assigns himself here sickens me.
In general pig boy is pretty retarded, but he was 100% correct there. Let’s say Altmam comes. He gets to coach here forever, and about every 3rd year or so he managed to go .500. Status quo and awful hoops forever
I wouldn’t necessarily believe everything I read. Especially someone writing about himself.
Well, im sure I have Altman higher than you do in the coach rankings.
Can we assume that Frost won't be inviting Moos to go out for a drink if he's ever in Orlando?
Most likely, yes. He wasn’t anything at KState, and Nebraska takes basketball about as seriously as a low level non power 5 team
Yes - needs to change now.
I can’t believe everything but it sure reads about exactly how I think N has been operating for the last 25 years. Cluster f&@
I think Altman has 20 straight 20 win seasons (it will gone this year) and a Final Four?
"Going .500 every 3rd year"??? What?
Yes, Pillen is a complete moron.
BUT…well nevermind, that’s about it.

Haven’t read the book, so it’s hard to draw firm conclusions from these excerpts. But it feels like Moos wants us to believe that he was a toothless AD-in-name-only and that the worst decisions NU made during his tenure were the result of other people walking all over him.
Not sure that’s any better than being thought of as incompetent, but to each his own.

Yeah, kinda. I think it also shows that there were a lot of cooks in the kitchen.
Bingo… “I was a spineless coward” is about the kind of excuse I figured ole Billy Boy would come up with.
Also, how in Blue Hell was none of this stuff locked up in NDA’s… for some idiot we paid to go away? NU is “lead” by some of the dumbest people on Earth.
This crap is embarrassing. But hey, he drove a tractor to work, and Frost Warning!
Or he is a drunken liar making sh$t up to make himself look good.
Only at NU could the AD go get the two coaches that every fan wanted...and then get ripped on for it by the fans later on.
Could be!
I totally don't believe that part about having a PI following him around, that is clearly made up.
It’s not the initial hire of Frost that most people have a problem with. It’s the extension.
"With talk of the team winning it all after starting 5-1 and with PSU clearly targeting out coach, I just knew I had to extend his contract, I also knew I was the only one that was man enough to do it, so I did it, all on my own. "
It is to be expected that Moos’ thoughts about his legacy will try to put him in the most favorable light. And half truths and outright lies that aren’t likely to be officially countered are part of the fodder.
But I am a bit surprised that he thinks working to move Nebraska from the B1G to B12 reflects well on him. What a dumb move that would have been.

When you have an employee with a substance abuse problem, everything he is responsible for that goes wrong is someone else's fault.
I am sure there are some portions that are true, some that are exaggerated and some that false.
Even with a very bad interview and thinking to himself he isn’ ready for this, he still hired SF knowing that if he didn’t 95% of the fan base would have came after him with pitchforks.
Yep! He was not hired to not hire Frost.
Plus, I know it is easy now to say "He should not have hired him" but it really was what we all wanted.
No doubt there would have been plenty of criticism of Moos from the fan-base if he hadn't landed Frost, and Frost went elsewhere. But it would have likely been short-lived if he had hired a quality coach and someone else, like Florida, got to experience the failure of Scott Frost not the Huskers. Frost would have been more likely to have been fired at Florida after 2 disappointing seasons, while Moos chose to extend him all the while continuing his apparent public charade that he "got the pick of the litter". Leaders lead, con men tell you want you want to hear.
this is why I need to be running the show in Lincoln.
put the ball in the endzone, keep them from putting the ball in the endzone.
it's not rocket science.

100%. What a complete **** show. He was nothing more than a yes man, and Frost was the worst coach in school history. This place GUSHED over the whole thing
it's fascinating to read his take on those events.. filter it like everything else, but it's still interesting to read.. I do not doubt the power struggles and other mickey mouse things that went on behind the scenes though.
In regard to all the talk about being good stewards of the program, how does the current set of clowns fare, if any better than those of the prior regime?
