Ed Stewart would be an intriguing hire. He's got a great resume, he's worked in many different areas of athletics administration/management over the years. But on the other hand, he's never had to make a coaching hire.

Though I also almost forgot about Ed's baggage from Mizzou with his wife and Ricky Clemons. Google the phrase "Them Crackers Shaking" 😆. Not sure how well that would play here, but then again that was almost 20 years ago.

I know Ronnie. Dont think alcohol sales will happen while he is chancellor. I was told he doesnt like night games because of all day drinking.
i don't doubt this at all.. from an admin perspective, it's one huge headache every Sunday to deal with what happened at your University the day before type thing..

Ed was involved or around all that **** at Missouri?

Yep, Ed and his wife were implicated in the scandal at Mizzou with Ricky Clemons. But if Quin Snyder can bounce back from it and go on to become a top NBA coach, perhaps Ed deserves a 2nd chance as well.

Gotta say after thinking about this a little today, this move excites me, if for no other reason it puts some pressure on Frost to get the job done immediately. I believe that has been needed in this program for at least a year, maybe two. Now he either gets it figured out or he gets a pink slip. I’m personally all in for whatever it takes to get this program out of the bottom of the B1G.

Bob Devaney kept his job all those years. Must be something else.
The guy is 70 years old and he acts like he's 80 going on 90. Why is it a mystery as to why he's retiring. Good grief some of these people need to get a clue. Not everybody wants to hang on until the drool reaches all the way to their crotch.

Ed is NOT a good candidate to be AD at NU. IF he were, he would have been hired instead of Moos in the first place.

Bobfather appearing in this thread? Moos will be forgotten in five years or less. Bobfather will be idolized by NU fans who haven’t yet been born. I doubt Bobfather’s rough edges matter a bit. Just win, baby.

Leach would drive the Husker fans crazy. They haven't seen enough of that vacant expression of "Huh" on the Pirate's face when things are not going well, him squinting over a teeny-tiny slip of paper looking for salvation or turning his back to his benched starting quarterback who is pleading to go back into the game when that player is the only hope of pulling out a win just so Mike can prove a point. He's the smartest man in the room after all.

I know the AD is responsible for all athletic programs but his main responsibility is to drive success in football. That's 90% of the job. And the results on the football field have been awful. Most ADs only get one shot to hire a football coach.

There's a chance Frost turns things around this year (fingers crossed), but if the wins don't come and the recruiting continues to stink, then it'll be time to move on to the next coach. Bringing in a new AD now gives that person the opportunity to use this season to make critical assessments and possibly select a new coach.

Huskers are doomed. I really think there is a hex on the program. Rotating ADs and coaches is what bad schools do. Winning colleges have stability. Like we had in Lincoln prior to 2000.

Stability is why they extended Frost. They see that he's getting the kind of players he needs to win if he can just get better QB play. IMO, we're better off riding with Frost instead of gambling on a new guy who would have to start all over again. I truly believe that Frost has laid a foundation that will pay long term dividends if people will just suck it up and ride this out with him. I'm generally not an overly optimistic person but I think staying the course is our best action unless the wheels totally came off like they did for Riley at the end.

That's semantics only. He was relieved of his duties. For whatever reason. This was not done on his terms or his timetable.

......(Moos) told the Omaha World-Herald that he'd had conversations recently with University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green about his buyout and was informed last week that he would retire almost immediately.

“Apparently this was the best time,” Moos told the World-Herald while declining to say who told him he’d be retiring.

It does sound more and more like Moos wasn't doing jack and was out of town too much. The theory that he was told he "would be retiring" is gaining credibility. I had heard he had been discussing retiring with friends for months. Clearly Green didn't want a lame duck AD.
