Tired of Lincoln Clown Show (long)

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

I'm so sick of this clown show in Lincoln. This Rimington deal is absolutely bizarre. I was hoping Bounds would show some leadership when it came to athletics, but I'm having my doubts. Sometimes to be a great leader you have to do what is unpopular and maybe even costly in the short run. Bounds was approved by the regents, period. Now he has a job (of which UNL athletics is a small or large part depending on your POV) and they should let him do it. Hawks or Pillen or Clare should not be pressuring him to make up the athletic department with people in mid-life from the 1990s teams. That is not in their charter. As odious as he was, firing Eichorst when they (supposedly Bounds/Green) did was moronic. It reeked of desperation, poor organization, management by committee, and knee-jerk decision making.

I'm sick of UNL hiring key administrators and coaches via the good ole boy system. I'm tired of egos and camps and allegiances getting in the way of what is good for football and the other sports. I'm tired of the chancellors making unilateral decisions in a vacuum. I'm tired of this 20-year churn making the University of Nebraska look foolish at best, and irrelevant at worst.

Note to Hank Bounds - Now that you hired a former center with zero athletic department experience (instead of appointing an assistant in the department for three months) to appease some regents and probably Coach Osborne, admit you caved and let's move on. Rapidly form the national search committee for AD, make it plain all members on the committee will have EQUAL consideration of their recommendations (including former coaches), and lets get it done by YOU making the decision, not Green. Make sure complying with all our traditions is a key performance parameter of the job. THEN - let the AD do his job with advice and consent from Green, BUT make it plain major decisions are YOURS to approve, not the chancellor's.

Note to Green - check your ego at the door and understand this ship will never get righted until one, and only one belly button is perceived as "in charge", and that's the UNL President for now.

Note to regents - butt out

Note to major donors - please consider donating to enjoy the perks, the dinners, the access, etc. not in an attempt to make policy. Too many cooks in the broth is inefficient. Threatening to take your footballs and going home is unseemly and helps stoke this constant turmoil. National searches for highly qualified administrators and coaches will go a long way toward winning, which everyone wants.

I love this university and our teams and will keep going if they lose every game and I am the last person in the stands. But Good God y'all, can we all please grow up, carefully and wisely appoint some exceptional leaders, and get behind them????

Wow. All that for a hire that will last no more than 60 days and maybe less? Really?

 

[N-sane]

You're right the good ole boy system doesn't work. But when Trev Alberts replaces Dave Rimington and hires Scott Frost there will be NONE of that crap going on any more!

I admire your passion Wed, but do you have something real or substantive to say or is this just an exercise?

There is a definite culture that can be succesful at Nebraska. It has been proven before. It's not by running a "me too" program becuase you are never going to out recruit some of the other bluebloods due to location. Need to focus on physical and fundamentally sound football. Recruit players that match the culture and are willing to work their asses off. I don't care how many stars they have, what is their ability and do they fit the culture.

NU has strayed far from their historical culture and the results are evident to all. It hasn't worked out well. I applaud efforts to bring in people that understand it and want to get it back.

I am with you on this, but the.audience doesn't care for logic. Just know that there are a lot of us that feel the same way.

(See Red Highlighted Section of your post for the next part)

As much as I love this Football team, there is definitely leadership that I won't support. When I say leadership I don't mean the Head Football Coach. The good thing is that there has not been any yet that I haven't supported, but this Bounds/Green thing has not played out enough yet.

Edit: You have to realize that "some" of the fans you are speaking to think Frost will bring option football back. That is their reality, and there is no changing it. Scary stuff!

some = I heard a guy on unsportsmanlike conduct yesterday say this, before any of you freak out.

 

[Husker Sledge]

Nebraska can recruit with the best programs in the country despite our location. That was proven under Callahan and Riley is doing a decent job. It's just about hard work and having the right coaches in place. Tired of hearing this geographical excuse. Nebraska has all the tools to complete at the highest level period! If location is really that big of a factor why do we have national championship aspirations?

Can anything our university leadership does make people happy? People jump to conclusions based on things that haven't happened and probably won't happen. Green I know is an honest man. Rimington is an honest man. They are going to do what they honestly believe is in the best interest of the university so IMO we need to let things play out and trust them to do what is right. I'm amazed at the amount of angst over Rimington's appointment as an interim AD. He has shown to be a very effective executive leader. His appointment was for that reason and the hope that it would appease the group of fans/alums/boosters who wanted someone they felt they could trust back in the AD's chair until a permanent AD can be hired. Thank goodness he was willing to spend a couple of months on the road away from his wife and children for the good of our university. I can't think of a better man for the job. He's got plenty of assistants to deal with the nuts and bolts of things he doesn't have experience with.

Look I am not referring to Rimington... I am talking about the scenario as a whole. Not happy with the timing of any of it, and the logic I am referring to this

In bold is mainly what I agree with

People need to accept that not everything is going to be perfect all the time, and at the first sign of adversity you make a poor timed change. The fact is people were happy when Peterson was hired, and the regents forced him to make a move with Frank Solich. He did, made a hire of who he thought best would lead Nebraska back to winning again... Callahan sucked now Peterson is an idiot right? Rinse and repeat 20 years later... The point is Regents need to shut their mouths, and butt out. They are more to blame for all of this then Peterson. They don't let people have any freaking time to create an identity for the program, because if it doesn't look like it used to, then it won't work. <<< I am so sick of this arguement. Oklahoma isn't running the Wishbone anymore and they are doing just fine, you see what I am saying?

Northern Illinois loss is unacceptable, no one is arguing that. I just don't see that loss being a reason to fire someone 3 games into a season. I don't care if they lost to a High School team let the season play out before you make a decision like firing an AD.

 

[Harry Caray]

While I hope we do a national search for the best candidates - the good ole boy system has worked pretty well for Barry Alvarez and Wisconsin. And the 2 coaches we've hired with no ties to Nebraska (Callahan & Riley) have been the biggest disasters, as was the AD we just fired. I guess the point is that there are no guarantees no matter who you hire.

Bo had no ties to Nebraska either. Not sure why he gets lumped in there with Nebraska ties. He was a LBer coach for Green Bay I believe before he was our DC for one year under Solich. I don't consider him a "Nebraska" guy

 

[Chief Wiggum_rivals246870]

I am grateful for the not seeing "The University of Nebraska" written in any of the current Adidas scandal articles and all other national scandals, for that matter.

 

[jay-cheese]

Read this as "why can't we just win because I say so..."

Our success in nineties led our program to become a huge corp. Once you're a huge corp, you only care about the $$$ (the real reason we're in the B1G you know). They'll make any change as long as it keeps people coming to games. It really is that simple. Eventually we might get lucky in a coaching change that might result in more win's or a even a shot a conference title.

I appreciate your opinion on this matter, but I'm tired of the clown show on this board of a bunch of people who think they have insight into behind the scenes decisions and always conclude with the worst possible motivation and decision process.

We either think we have high integrity people in these positions of power who make decisions with the intent of improving the program or we don't.

If we think we have high integrity people in place, let them do their job. If we think we don't have high integrity people in place, then please bring forth the evidence so we can get them out of office of power.

 

[inWV]

The hand wringing is getting almost comical. Bob Devaney was a "Nebraska Guy" who became AD. He was actually HC and AD for several year. A list of coaches he hired includes TO (HOF coach), Danny Nee (last best men's BB coach), Gary Pepin (T&F coaching legend), and Bob Fehrs (took wrestling to national prominence). So take a flyer on the AD carousel. Or focus on a person who has a desire to win plus fulfill the mandate of student athlete development. That person may or may not come with years of experience in athletic administration. Being the AD means having an eye for coaching talent, having good judgement, and being able to to enthusiastically press the flesh with donor and other interested parties.
Are we likely to find the AD we need amongst the "old corn"? Probably not. But neither should we exclude these people.

 

[Harry Caray]

Being DC here under Solich is a tie to Nebraska. That's the main reason he was hired here.

I would disagree with you on this one. I guess your definition of "best" programs would make a difference in your assertion. I would call best - Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Clemson, USC, Florida State as some of the top tier. You want to go down a step then you are talking where Nebraska usually falls. Unless you can show me stats where we have hauled in classes that rival the best on any kind if consistent basis.

 

[RealTucoSalamanca]

What was Bob Devaney's tie? He was 101-20-2 with no ties.

And the 2 coaches we've hired with no ties to Nebraska (Callahan & Riley) have been the biggest disasters, as was the AD we just fired. I guess the point is that there are no guarantees no matter who you hire.

How about that AD we fired 10 years ago? He was a Nebraska native, UNL graduate and even had experience working in the NU athletic department. He was about as Husker as you could get for an AD. And nearly everybody was united in wanting him. The biggest question after Bill Byrne left was not "should we hire Steve Pederson?" but "will Steve Pederson actually leave Pitt?". I remember very well the day he was introduced as the new AD in 2002 all of the glowing media reports about what a great day it was for the athletic department. We had somebody who "knew the culture"(don't know if that exact phrase was used, but the idea certainly was there). We had our Nebraska guy, and great things were in store.
We don't need to rehash how things ended with him, but I find it interesting that most people just conveniently forget how Pederson was a Nebraska guy and things to put it mildly didn't go so well. He alienated the fanbase worse than just about anybody could. So yes, there are no guarantees no matter who you hire-including a Nebraska guy. People who think that hiring a Nebraska guy will just automatically make things better need to remember this.

Agree, that's why I said there are no guarantees. It just seems like many fans are either saying we must get someone with Nebraska ties, or we must get an experienced outsider with no Nebraska ties. I say we shouldn't exclude anyone in either group, but rather look for the main qualities we want in an AD and hire the person who best exemplifies those qualities.

Definitely agree about the location excuse. Emphasize our positives (of which there are many). Thinking of those universities with football programs that are "geographically deprived - ha")....Boise State, Arizona (difficult to get to); TCU (a little school - certainly turned it around although they are in fertile recruiting territory but surrounded by many competitors;
K-State (could it be coaching?); Colorado showing a resurgence; and isn't Nebraska in the same location now that it was
when TO was coaching?

[coachDubs]

Best 2 head coaches in the program history are from Alma College (MI) and Hastings College (NE).

Best athletic director in program history, at least that I recall, from Idaho State (ID).

But, we need former Huskers running the show. That's the Nebraska way.

He didn't give a flip about Husker traditions either.

A guy from Hastings, NE isn't a Nebraska guy. That makes sense.

Yep, you're mentally challenged
