While I don't believe you have to been an AD to handle NU's AD job, some experience leading an organization is probably necessary. I don't think Stai has the organizational skills to be our AD. JMO.
Replacements for Alberts - time to move on
- Thread starter RealTucoSalamanca
- Start date

i've mentioned memphis' laird veatch. he's my darkhorse for N. great fundraiser at both k-state and florida. former b8 linebacker. from manhattan. well respected. family man. cultural fit. been at iowa state, missouri, k-state, florida, k-state and v.p. at learfield. he's got to be on the list.
Reading all these names of possible hires harkens me back to when Moos was hired. Not one time, that I recall, did his name pop up on this board as a possible candidate. Once hired he was hailed as the next great one, got around and worked the crowd. Then later, not so much.
Just shows to go ya! (yes that was intentional)

We tried the outsider route. Bill Moos and Shawn Eichorst both sucked. Garth Glissman would be a great pick.

Yeah, I don’t think we want a guy on the tail end of his career that is a smooth talker, only looking to feather his nest,. Dude should be in his early 50s and have an upward projectory.
He would definitely crush it. Probably couldn’t keep him for a real long time, five years or less, but that might be enough to get things really rolling.
Not sure what the criteria would be for president that would make the academias happy but that would be awesome
An AD that has actually been on a team that has won a NC is not a bad idea.
Not necessarily saying TF is the guy but he has been a major part of two NC teams.
baylor is small potatoes
teeny tiny school that nobody cares about
we need someone forged in the fire with proven results
Hell NO!i've mentioned memphis' laird veatch. he's my darkhorse for N. great fundraiser at both k-state and florida. former b8 linebacker. from manhattan. well respected. family man. cultural fit. been at iowa state, missouri, k-state, florida, k-state and v.p. at learfield. he's got to be on the list.
I'd prefer someone less sycophantic who possesses actual values and conviction take the job
With that bit of info, probably a solid hire for Nebraska then. Because of both the one opining and that the fools in Waco don't like him.
He'll turn me in for sexual harassment the first week. Then we'll need another A.D.
Lou Holtz, LeBron James, Oliver Luck, Bob Stoops, Gene Smith, Larry Scott, Bill Belichick, or Pete Carroll.
In all seriousness, it's likely gonna be in house. I think the coaches at the major positions are set. Nebraska doesn't need a salesman to get support financially, just a sound concrete vision. That person needs to be someone who isn't looking to bounce once a gig at Michigan, USC, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Alabama, Texas, or Florida come open.

Because of you and your fancy words, I had to look up the definition of sycophant….
I now agree.
Glissman is going to be the commissioner of a major conference sooner rather than later. But he could also be a fantastic A.D. or University President if he chose to go that route.
Interesting because that name was floated on twitter when Trev made it official
Other than the fact Rhule was responsible for Kraft getting the AD job at Temple, why would he want to come to Nebraska? Seems Penn State has more money, easier recruiting, bigger stadium, etc.
According to what I heard on the radio he would double his salary at NU vs what he's currently making
PSU also covered up raping children, I know who I would and wouldn't work for.
