If Moos moves on...

- Start date
No. I mean retire or takes a better job. What difference does it make Herky? Moos hired the best man for the job at the time. Who on here didn't want Frost or Hoiberg when they were hired? They were the overwhelmingly popular choice. So, what actually did he do to be fired??

I don’t think the timing is right for Moos to leave now because Cook wants to coach longer to see these recruits develop. However, know doubt in my mind Hildebrand was brought back to take the reins and I would guess it will be like TO, before we are ready.
John Cook would be a tremendous AD if he is interested in managing the whole deal. Very knowledgeable of all sports and dealing with people. Just hope it’s not another off the wall like Eichorst.
I’m not touching this one, not with a 100 or 1000 foot pole. We all seen how the Lubick and Fisher rumors played out. Both are still Husker coaches.
Honest question, why? I don’t see why he would be the guy other than being an alumni. Have UNO athletics improved under his watch? Was moving to D1 the right move?
He killed football and wrestling to be D1. One was a good program, one was an elite program. Have they been better off?
I think Trev did exactly as he was told when it comes to those programs you mentioned, not his baby.
Trev isn't getting the job. It will likely be offered to Danny White and if he says no they may take a run at Ray Anderson with an outside shot at maybe someone like John Hartwell.
He had no choice to rid of wresting so UNO could be in the Summit a one bid league to the NCAA tournament....
Wrestling doesn’t make squat financially, hockey and Basketball were the only way to go..
Steve pederson would be a good hire. People forget that he brought our football team into the 21st century by hiring future hall of famer Bill Callahan. Bill was the best recruiter weave had since bob Devaney.
Moos will see thru to the opening of the football facility, IMO. I’d be shocked if that project isn’t off the ground by 7/1/21.
Think Trev gets the first phone call but I personally don’t think he’s 100% all in and it’s his dream job.
John Cook is building his retirement home in Wyoming I believe, might be completed by now. That tells me he’s ready to put his Husker career behind him.
It would be a mistake not to look closely for a candidate from within the B1G conference. Maybe it’s time to start behaving like we appreciate what we have and not butt heads with every decision out of Chicago? Picking up a talent from a fellow conference member may be a good start.
GBR!

please watch you’re language. Their are better ways to express you’re self. Thanks!
Wrestling was self sustaining.
They already had hockey and it was already D1. They added men’s soccer. Is basketball self sustaining? Making money? Is UNO in a better financial position now?
My main point is, is it better to be a good D2 school or a bad D1 school? I think I’d rather have an elite D2 wrestling program, good D2 football program, then be a low end D1 program. Especially if there isn’t a real financial difference.

Go ahead and correct me if I’m wrong but wrestling had no longer had a conference to compete in once they left for the Summit which doesn’t have enough wrestling programs if any..
Don’t they get money from the NCAA tournament too..

I guess I dont agree it makes somebody a yes man to agree to do something if you are hired, as a condition for being hired. Makes you a prospective employee who had to tell your future boss you can meet that requirement if you get the job. Trev of all people knew it would be hard on some athletes and he probably would rather not have done it...but he also oversaw the move to D1, which is worth something.

Suh honestly wouldn't be a half bad idea. Has a construction management degree and has spent a ton of time around Warren Buffett as well as being involved in other philanthropy type stuff
Theo Epstein. If he can turn around the Red Sox and Cubs, he can turn this Athletic Department around.
In all seriousness, I don't know why John Cook would want the A.D. job. It seems like he's in a pretty great spot right now. If I were him, I would coach as long as I'm healthy. He makes great money, gets his pick of the best recruits, and has a top-notch staff he can delegate to. Why would he give that up to deal with administrative B.S. every day?

i know someone who worked pretty closely with mike holder at osu foundation and in development of karsten creek.
he mentioned here awhile back how holder inspired all the people around him.
and while picken$ had a say - they never quite saw eye to eye.
cook seems to be in same vein (inspiring), but maybe more selfless.

I agree, alumni at UNO can't stand the guy. I don't see us hiring a guy without significant AD or ast AD experience.
It doesn't matter to some degree. Trev had to make the tough calls on football and wrestling. Losing money on a 2nd tier school is not an option. NU is at another level than UNO.
Yes, they are better off, by a huge margin.
I know the wrestling team was super good but not one person actually cared about that program. Hell I coached HS wrestling and none of the HS coaches cared about that program.
No one cared about UNO football either, you know what UNO students did on Saturday? They went to Lincoln.
The payoff is the key. If they make the dance in basketball, that is heaven. If they get in as a 15 or 14 seed and win a game??? Forget about it.
That has to be one of the dumbest damn claims ever presented here.
"not one person cared about the program" LOL
They didn't. I get you are mad but be honest. No fans cared about that team(s).
I coached HS wrestling and went to camps put on by UNO and Denny...I can tell you with 100% accuracy that during my time coaching HS wrestling that I do not know one single person that ever attended a UNO wrestling meet or talked about going.
I get I used hyperbole but you knew that.
