I absolutely would not be surprised if Scoggin's lawsuit has something to do with this.  It really doesn't paint Trev (or Williams) in a very positive light, and if even half of it went down the way it did, then this might be his way out.  I've seen far too many university faculty pull this same move (switching jobs to a different university) before a full Title IX investigation is done.

I so don't believe that it has anything to do with Scoggins.  While much about the incident is unknown to us, if his oversight/conduct in the Scoggins case was so egregious as to cause him to leave NU .... why would it be overlooked by A&M?   A&M knew, probly before but certainly after contacting TA, about the Scoggins thing and during negotiations TA would have to have made full disclosure.  A&M was not going to get hoodwinked into buying a "pig in a poke" like that.  I am still hopeful that the whole deal falls apart.

Texas A & M has money that Nebraska can never match.  They will pay the buyout and up his salary.  It’s probably, if true, strictly financial.

 

IF it involves Women’s BB and Scoggins then that could be cause for concern.  That lawsuit would follow him to Aggieland.  If some of her allegations have foundation it’s not a pretty situation.

 

I hope Trev is convinced to stay.  If not John Cook could do the job or look at Ed Stewart.  If not Cook, we need a young and dynamic leader.  Not a Bill Moos and please not a Pedersen or Eichorst.

From reading the thread over on the mens side of thing's. It seems aTm is about the same pay as what Trev makes here.

More speculation.     It's free right ?   

 

We'll see what happens in the next week or so..

 

It may be he just got offered a lot more money than he's making now....which is really a lot now. .... Makes sense he might leave.

 

But should he choose to leave for the same money ?  Obviously would raise a red flag to some people....considering the open lawsuit.

 

If Alberts says he just wants to move forward to new challenges....not so sure, at this point anyway. would have think about that one.

 

Everything's been going along great with new high dollar football coach, mega buck football facilities expansion...and a new major stadium remodel, for millions $$$$ of dollars. His work is not done here..... ..so why leave ?

 

It's real complicated.  We need to know more....but only the ones behind the scenes know what's really happening.

here is how bad it is:   "The only person at the top within the leadership (UNL) infrastructure currently serving in the position they were originally hired to fill is UNL Chancellor Rodney Bennett. And he’s only been with Nebraska since July."

 

This is from Amy Just's column

I agree with Merlin that the most likely explanation is TA's disappointment with the leadership situation at UNL.  But i feel it was his responsibility - after having signed a multi year contract - to be a pillar of stability.  To stabilize the programs from his position on down. 

 

His not having done that .... well, for me I have never in my life been more disappointed in the decision of a public official.  Not that I ever knew TA personally, and not that my opinion matters, I feel that I have never been more wrong in judging the character of a public official. 

 

We don't know that this part is true, so I will say "if true" his failure to alert anyone one in the department - not his top aides nor his coaches - that this was a possibility and to let them (and all fans) get first wind of this only via a leak from the Texas media .... and then to notify all the people who supported him only via e-mail .... well the most  apt  adjectives that come to mind for me are profane.  So I will just say "cold blooded".

For God's sake, leave Cook where he is. Don't kill the VB program!!

Yes!  Yes, Yes, YES!!   He is a skilled, talented, experienced genius as a VB coach.  Perhaps he has, or could develop, abilities as an administrator or CEO. But it's a huge "maybe".  His experience is in recruiting/coaching/mentoring/motivating and even when necessary disciplining 18-22 year old student athletes and a small staff. In a single program.  And at two institutions.  And he has been as successful as anyone at it.  But does that portend an ability to preside over and apply those skills to a range of personnel and programs that are 10, 12, 15, or 20 times larger than the VB program?  And, for lack of better words, to supervise and direct the work of adult coaches all of whom have had (lesser but still significant) successes of their own?  And who have done so in a variety of other institutions?

 

"The Peter Principle" describes and explains a phenomenon that occurs in virtually all areas of employment.  And it explains one reason why things go wrong. It occurs when individuals demonstrate skill and ability at one position such that they are promoted to a higher position - at which they demonstrate such skill and ability that they rise to an even higher position. And so on.  Until they reach a level at which they cannot continue to succeed.  And there they stay. under matched to their responsibilities and no longer totally competent.  They seldom go back down a rung.  I like JC right where he is.

Agree with a lof things previously said here.

 

After a day to reflect, it's really disappointing he chose to leave. Everyone has thier own ideas what happened to get him to jump ship. Because he basically says the admin wasn't in place.  What is said in public statements usually are "cover tracks" for smoothing the transition out in this case. Just like in business, politics, athletic coaches, AD's  etc etc

It is seemingly, with no warning... "out of the blue". 

 

He's the AD, one of the highest ranking (and paid) positions at the university.  He just got a huge raise to $1,700,000 about 8 months ago. The school made him one of the highest paid AD's in the country. He would get another $500,000 next year. He's been given everything he's ask for, and maybe more. 

 

He's was still going to get paid even without a University President in place. In some ways it would seem to be a responsibility of a leader of the university to help resolve issues, and not bail out if the going gets a bit sticky.  Also, maybe he wasn't going to get his way in resolving the issues.

A clash of headstrong personalities?  So you take your ball and go home?  Just maybe....he wasn't going to get his way ??

 

It's just so disappointing to have a former Husker All American, finally get his dream job, so he said, and leaves after a relatively short stent here. And leaving the way did is not good conduct. for lack of a better word.

Agree.  He is not going to leave challenges behind at Texas A&M as down there legislators, boosters, alumni all want their fingers in the pie.
