Continue to be excited about Alberts after today

[Johannes de Silentio]

I feel very positive about Turd right now. If anything, his side interview today with the local media boys (seriously loved how he suggested having his meeting with Warren in one of their backyards--like Moos and Frost, he has the touch in terms of teasing those guys and they eat it up) was even more impressive than the introductory presser. I truly believe that he's going to do everything he can to make the Frost hire work, but can sense that he's going to assert a meaningful measure of authority that Moos either didn't want to or couldn't (probably a combination of both).

His comments about removing all that non-football/recruiting stuff from Frost's purview and thus allowing him to do his job more effectively was framed perfectly: It sounds positive and supportive, but it's also indirectly sending a message that Frost and his posse (no "Kinda racist" given we're dealing with Western Nebraska bros) were running too much and need to have some of that taken out of their scope of responsibility. Same deal with how Alberts avoided any arbitrary number of wins that he expected from the team, which could later come back and be a problem regardless of how things go (Moos caused controversy with 6 in 2019 and 8-9 before getting canned this year), and instead made clear that he's focusing on more granular things like unforced errors (penalties, ST).

Moos had that big-dick alpha energy, but he was probably a bit too old/drunk and, despite his folksy charm, still an outsider here. Alberts is only a few years older than Frost, is in great post-football career shape, and is an even better individual ex-Husker player than Frost (no small feat, because Frost was awesome). He's one of the very few guys who can actually step to Frost, and the UNO shit shows he won't hesitate to do it if necessary.

That's where I'm at right now, at least. It's nice to feel like we're in good hands at the AD position.

great post.

i think alberts and frost will form a strong partnership and get things rolling on the football front.

Did Alberts explain more about the non football related things Frost was dealing with and mentioned in his interview? If so, I would like to see the interview where he talked about it.

Alberts definitely has the feel of a home run hire at the moment. I really hope it starts manifesting itself among the sports. This school can't suffer another setback in football and basketball. These hires need to work.

Thanks for the summary. I didn't watch it and don't feel like I need to now.

I would be happy with a double.

Very well-stated and I took his “focusing more on coaching football” to mean the exact same thing you did. I found it interesting that Scott said they’ve already talked four times. Must be some serious “trust-building” going on, as Turd alluded to in his initial presser last week.

Turd strikes me as being very competent. Plain-spoken, but effective. The type of guy that under-promises and over-delivers. FWIW, besides Ted Carter, I know of at least one other prominent Nebraskan who was lobbying for him to get the AD job: Walter Scott. He is very close to Turd, responsible for bankrolling a lot of new projects at UNO the last 12 years, and is still carries major juice as a booster (being a Billionaire doesn’t hurt). I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play a major role in the fundraising for the 2nd phase of the football complex.

No, he was very sparse about details throughout, which is completely understandable. As much as we'd love to know exactly what they're discussing and setting expectations about, that'd likely be disastrous on a number of fronts. The bit about process and briefly mentioning things like ST was about as detailed as he got.

His experience in the media and ability to deliver a message will be an asset to the AD and University. I think it's apparent in this short amount of time.

Initially a bit skeptical, but early results are very good.

Great post, amigo!

Btw, how hard are people trolling Husker Hank & Bobfather over @RR$ on the Turd hire?!

I've always thought they were colorful characters and enjoyed the trolling back and forth, but this has revealed them, especially the Bob, for being raving fucking lunatics.

Oh yeah, they absolutely despise Turd for cutting UNO wrestling. If Hank didn’t have me on ignore I’d be all over him on there.

Listening to Turd from media days.

Feeling really good about this hire.

HARD.....although they wouldn't need to be trolled to go balls out against Turd. It's so weird.

Got some bad news for you. Frost not gonna make it more than 2 years max

Turd didn’t cut wrestling dummy

As long as he doesn't mess with the the Rifle and Bowling team, then I'm good.

He comes off as genuine. Like he actually knows what he’s doing and has a plan on how to go about doing it.
