It's called honoring your word. It use to mean something, and for me it still does. And I assume the vast majority of Nebraskans agree.
Moos didn't hire Miles, that's the point. Not who's full-time, interim, etc. New AD and the odds are stacked he signed off on it. Your entire response had to do with not waiting to extend and increase Hoiberg before an AD is in place. Welp, there goes that.
An experienced one, with what seems like a proven track record of not only fundraising but football focus as well. So instead of celebrating, we continue ranting.
Honoring who's word? The guy that left? That's beyond ridiculous.
So you think the new AD that hadn't signed a contract with us yet, background check wasn't finalized signed off on the extension? We may be worse off than I thought. Yes, my entire rant is we are still doing things ass backwards. Nebraska still can't get out of its own way.
I don't know enough about either of these two guys yet, but on the surface I love the AD hire, love the President hire, that's not my issue. My rant is processes that Nebraska continues to get wrong that have burned us for 20 years and put us in this position are still happening. It's not that Hoiberg or Williams wasn't deserving of a raise or extension. Miles not being a Moos guy is exactly the point i'm making. All of a sudden we have a new AD in place that just got 2 coaches extended with money he is responsible for before he was officially in his position. It's a built in issue/excuse 2-3 years down the line.
Look at it this way... Hoiberg and WIlliams got extensions from the interim AD, ridiculous. New AD (who reports to President) hired by interim President, with quotes from interim President talking about how great of a hire it is. 24 hours later interim President gone and new President taking over that new AD will be reporting to. To your point, i'm sure new AD knew who the new President was going to be, but we waited 9 months, go ahead and wait 9 months and 2 days so things are done properly. You lose Alberts and all of a sudden both hires completed in less than a week? It takes longer to get hired at a Casey's gas station than that.
