New AD is Bill Moos from Wash. St.

Not overly excited based on what I read but I will support him. Don't see a lot of successful coaching hires in his tenure besides Kelly. I don't know that I would call hiring the "pirate" a success, maybe for WSU but not NU

So maybe he hires Kelly to Nebraska.

It wasn't so long ago I would have said NO! Now, I am at the point to hire the best available who has been successful. Hell, I would take even take Tressel at this point

He didn't hire Kelly, but I think he did hire Bellotti.

Bellotti and Leach is a pretty good track record.
 
I hope this left coaster gets Nebraska. Give him a tent to live in for his first winter here. Yeah, that should school him some. Just sayin...lol
 
I don't know AD moos from a caboose or the movie Footloose. But I do know wsu is a team we used to mop up and now they'd kick our ass in football and basketball. And it took some major coconuts to hire leech after his stint at Texas tech and it worked for wsu.
 
ROFLAO......so much for stage one of no Fair Haired saviour to Nebraska .....

One day you guys will realize my info comes from people directly connected....And I am no Bull Crap Artist period.....

Box 1of no Frost in Lincoln except what comes on cold winter nights.....CHECK ✓


Now I am fairly Encouraged by this hire though he does have a relationship with Mike Riley that can prove out to be either good or bad.....I know his hiring of Mad Scientist Mike Leech after the whole Texas Tech scandal proves he is not afraid to do his own homework and take chances....but I am more encouraged by what my friend told me about Moos....he went after Leech because what Leech was doing at Texas Tech before his firing fit the place and players at WSU now we all know Leech was fired over mistreatment of Craig "the pony" James son but the inside info a bunch of us heard was it wasn't so much his mistreatment of James but James thinking he should and had better be treated differently than all the other players or he would tell his daddy.....funny thing is....right after this happened Craig James was allowed to resign from ESPN and no one has heard a thing outta either of the James since......but Leech is doing perdy danged good now as WSU with the reception of getting man handled at Cal last Thursday Night in an upset ......
I was also told Moos gets what Nebraska is all about and that is a downhill, in your face power running physical football team.....now Moos if he gives Riley another year now after the Ohio St. Game is debatable.....but he is the guy in charge and the guy who will be held accountable if the Football Program falls any further......
I actually am kinda excited about this hire......but the proof will come when he gets established and has a chance to survey the signs vs what he knows we need and Deserve.

The guy is old school hard nosed no BS kinda guy and that can bode well for us going forward in what I believe will be the "Post Riley" era......

Doc.

I'm pretty sure he's seen snow. Having played OL at Washington St and having been AD at Montana.

Man----if this guy hires SF we will have to put you on suicide watch

I think if they do in fact bring back "the legend" Frost they erect a statue of him like they did TO and Devaney before he has even coached his first game.....it's that much of a home run hire. Plus they might as well expand the trophy cases now for all the award hardware soon to follow. What do you think Doc?????
 
This AD is a clear football based hire and I am excited for that. This guy has a history of going to schools where the football program has sucked and has built them into solid programs. At Montana they played for a national title and won a national title. Never had a losing season. At Oregon he built the machine Oregon is today. He got the Nike guy involved, he built up the stadium, he started the same year as the Oregon caoch that hired Chip as OC that was eventually the head coach.

This AD isn't going to sit around and put up with Riley's Baby Poop. This hire is a slam dunk firing coming and a new coaching search that will bring back physical play on both sides. This guy played football at a high level.

The only thing we are missing still is a competent head coach.
