The governor’s and board of regents’ leaked shocked and groveling texts after the fact were probably just a well thought out smoke screen
Most people stopped drinking last night
Hummm. There is much much more to this on the backside. This is directly connected to the Peeds. Also the main reason they kept 1889 under Peeds control until Trev agreed to leave. And I’ll repeat. It was an AGREEMENT to leave by all parties and was in the works long before he turned in his resignation. That was the reason he could go after the A&M job while Nebraska started looking for their replacement.
Why would Trev have been fired? He had just hired a football coach that most of the country thought was a good hire, he put on a volleyball game that was the largest woman's sporting event in the history of the earth, donations were fine. He certainly made a few mistakes in his short time but that can't possibly warrant a firing faster than Moos or Eichorst who were terrible. And if he was so terrible why would a huge AD hire him. He just left for greener pastures, more money, more promotion opportunity, more clout, more power and because he probably knew that Rhule was terrible and couldn't take back the hire. He was tied to Matt Rhule, and the only smart decision was to get out before the bomb went off.
Would like to hear more than.
Watch it he recover Billy Sims fumble in 1978.
Exactly how is Pillen to blame for the ineptitude of the last 25 years? The one constant of the past 25 years of Husker football has been Tom. He named Frank. He recommended Pedie. The Hawks demanding he hire Bo were part of it. Even when he wasn’t the AD, he was pulling strings behind the curtain. I’m not blaming him for that. He probably deserved to have a say. Pretty hard to implicate Pillen in anything other than trying to persuade Trev to stay. I’m not sure that was as illogical as some believe.
Before he got into politics he was a team player. Getting into politics will ruin anyone.Watch it he recover Billy Sims fumble in 1978.
Well I guess some of that is true. He wasn’t getting everything he wanted. He wasn’t getting to bring 1890 in under his control. (PEEDs wouldn’t do it until we got an AD they liked) and he asked for his new contract to have a provision in it protecting him from being fired for cause on the Capri Davis volleyball lawsuit. Both of those cases were instrumental but it was an ongoing poor relationship with high level donors. Keep in mind, Trev wanted to fire SF at the end of 2022 but the donors wouldn’t. However the PEEDs stepped up and paid the early buyout in 2023 to fire him mid season.
Well get ready to change your opinion more. Pillen wasn’t the one.

While this is all true...Trev COULD have fired Frost but didn't. He did not need donor permission just felt that he did.
He had more of a better pool to choose from after 2022 season In my opinion.
I agree with that.
And you assume everything Moos wrote is true? I believe very few of these people as there is a lot of revisionist history going on.
He took a better job. It’s the simplest answer and explains everything.
Probably a pretty good mix of both. I don't think he is just flat out lying but I am sure some things are looked at very differently than others.
That's never enough for Alberts. He likes to play the victim, despite moving on to a more lucrative job.
The rumor was...he was set to retire and move to South Carolina, where they have a house and where his kids went to college (Clemson).
You are full of **** Trev wanted to fire frost after the first years Trev was here but couldn’t The reason the A$M job opened up for Trev to take was because the AD had an agreement in place with Mark stoops to be Head coach and the BOR told he no he was hiring Elko. ADs don’t have sole power to hire/ fire anyone they want ANYWHERE this is not just a Nebraska thing. The only reason I dislike Trev was because he was a fake . He would get in front of a camera and say how Nebraska is his dream job etc. then walk of camera and apply for other jobs.
Trev moving up to take the job at Nebraska was a foregone conclusion. It was his entrance point into major college athletics But, he couldn’t have known everything behind the scenes with regard to power structures at Nebraska and besides, who cares when you at least have your foot in the door?
He could have, but only if he had a replacement in his pocket and the willingness of the big donors to foot the bill
Right? We assume that he would be loyal to the university that made him great. However, that’s not always the case, especially for the ambitious.
He could have fired him. He just would have had to work on people to get it done. Not sure why that is hard to grasp.
ADs have little power at every institution this is not a Nebraska thing. Hell the reason A&M opened up was the AD left after being told he wasn’t going to hire Mark stoops after having an agreement in place. The BOR told him he was hiring Elko.anyone who believes ADs have sole power to Hire / fire coaches when 30-60 million dollar contracts are involved are completely stupid.
See here you go again. You still act like this is a loyalty thing. Like he abandoned Nebraska. He DID NOT. He was getting fired.
