How much house-cleaning can we expect?

[huskerj12]

Obviously boosters and regents can't exactly get shown the door, but how much of the excess fat in the program can Turd reasonably clear out?

• Davison has already had his Associate AD title changed, do we expect him to get nudged out from the athletic dept/radio team since he was Frost's right hand man?
• Is there anyone in the athletic dept who got paid for being Frost's friend? People mentioned the Dillon brothers last week but I still don't know who they are or what they do.
• Do we get an entirely new radio broadcast crew since we have this new media company taking over?
• Is ABM going to be a thing?
• WTF is Modern Herbie going to look like?

What else am I missing?

This is a great point. Davison got all the accolades in the world for his role in "bringing Frost home" and was rewarded with an associate athletic director title while remaining in the broadcast booth for games. He wasn't exactly sticking to the shadows during the past 5 years and he's technically still a higher-up in the program, it's not like he recused himself from everything due to his friendship with Frost. I don't think anybody in the media is going to grill him but it would be totally reasonable to try to ask him some questions about wtf happened.

I'm not a fan of Davison, I know next to nothing about him other than he looks a bit like a douche to me.

That said, wasn't he almost single-handedly responsible for the new athletic facility from a fundraising perspective?

 

[Alcaus]

If I'm AD I'm letting go of anyone associated with Frost prior to his hiring.

I'm also taking a look at the endless associate ADs that have been added and determine what their value-added is.

Lastly, if I'm really looking into the soul of the program and asking for outside perspectives on what Nebraska needs, I'm likely boxing out any TC guys at the University that aren't forward thinking regarding the changing landscape of college football.

That's how Dean always framed it. Maybe I'm totally wrong but I always assumed it couldn't have been due to Davison being this special fundraising genius. Then again, apparently schmoozing and boozing has gotten him pretty far so who knows.

Yeah, I'm sure I've heard something similar from Sipple as well.

Who knows, the way they act he was instrumental to the deal getting done on many fronts. Still, not sure how badly I want one of Frost's buddies involved/exposed to the inner workings of the AD and football team.

I think at some point you gotta just tell people, "Thank you for everything you've done for the program, but we feel it's time for new individuals with fresh ideas to step up to the plate. You will always be welcome to visit as a former player."

This is not me white knighting for Matty D, but stfu Clester. Let’s have someone with maybe an ounce of goodwill left ask this question instead.

What did he say about NU?

Hindsight is 20/20 with bashing Davison for getting Frost here. It was a home run/no brain hire at the time that 99% of national media and fans raved about.

Not saying i like Matty D whatsoever, but let’s not put all the blame on him for Frost’s suckiness.

Exactly. Now all of the sudden we’re demanding accountability from Matt Davison for Frost’s shitty performance?

We get it Clester, you like to focus on the negative shit at NU, but don’t you have a team out East you should be more worried about right now?

I don't think he's calling out Davison for helping to get Frost here, I think he's calling him out because he was likely part of the problem that caused Frost to fail.

Does Davison not have any accountability for being Fraud’s wingman/drinking buddy/mouth piece for 5 years? Is it not pretty widely known that he was one of Fraud’s main enablers?

Do we really believe that, though? Frost would’ve failed regardless of Davison being here or not. Do we think Matt Davison was peer pressuring him to party more and spend less time at work?

I think it's more likely than not. Especially over the first few years.

So we’re wanting the local media, which has completely refused to publicly acknowledge the rumors about Frost’s shenanigans, to somehow throw all of those questions at one of Frost’s friends instead? It just seems asinine. What do you want Matt Davison to say?

Matty D is tight with the TC and grew up as friends with the Peed kids, and their dad might be our biggest booster. Supposedly one of the Peed kids was one of Frosts party buddies. And guess what booster was involved with Turd being threatened if he fired Frost?
