What I've read so far he seems to be a football centric AD. Which makes sense for Nebraska. I like that they got Hoibergs contract done before they hired a new AD. Just keep the boat steady and heading in the right direction good Sir. Nothing else

The speed at which things move in the AD transfer portal might be even faster than in the athlete transfer portal.

Only time will tell.  Just like any new hire, everyone will think it's a great hire (which is what fans do) and maybe it is but no way to know till about 5 years down the road.

He was AD at UNI when they were good at basketball. Two 30 win seasons

[Dead Dog Alley]

He saw Breidenbach playing for UW and started looking for a change of scenery.

Sounds like Dr. Gold from UNMC is going to be the new NU president - depending on which insider source you believe, this is exactly who Trev wanted / didn't want to get the job. This whole thing has been beyond strange.

 

Good to have all of the administrative drama over so we now can focus on that 1st hoops NCAA win.

Really feels like all this activity at the University is the opposite of a distraction for the team

[Norm Peterson]

Wait, did the University post the job?

New AD and New President the same day.  Someone lit a fire under the Board of Regent's asses.

The board of regents has nothing to do with hiring an AD

True...but all I ever heard since Alberts left was that the University needed to get a president hired before they got an AD.  Also, there are a lot of people saying that the Board of Regents is at least partially at fault for Alberts leaving.  If they have nothing to do with the hiring then they have nothing to do with his leaving.

I highly doubt they had no input under the circumstances. At least asked for the go ahead

Asking for their ok, sure. Driving the University to hire a AD, no.

This is just a weird month of coincidences.  Both teams get A&M for the dance and we hire a new President and an AD at the same time.

Oh, frick!

 

And I'd have done it for less money.

If Husker Hoops Central wasn't listed on your resume, I would have been disappointed.

The argument that Nebraska needed to hire a president before hiring an AD because the AD reports to the president didn't seem to stop the U from proceeding.
