Breaking Interesting quote from John Cook

Says Byrne and Osborne were great, but otherwise there was "a real lack of leadership" in the Athletic Department, so I would assume he meant Pederson, Eichorst, and Moos all sucked. Wouldn't surprise me if he'd include Perlman in that group, too.
 
Cook, Turd, and Scott

I think from what I've put together is that there have been issues in the Athletic Department for the last couple decades but I am not blaming all of it on the AD's. The media and loyalist fans sure seem to love to bash on AD's but they ignore how the TC has virtually made it impossible for AD's to do their jobs. I have an Uncle who hates Moos and blames him for everything and that includes the Extension given to Frost after losing seasons. He won't shut up about it and ironically it is always a coach or Athletic Director that is without Nebraska ties that he blames for problems. The people who follow this closely know that Moos did not want to give Scott the extension as that was pushed on him by Green, Bounds and the TC. Yet the Potato's still blame Moos. He did his job that he was hired for which was basically Fund Raise, Fire Riley & hire Frost, fix basketball and football. He hired Frost and Hoiberg which were 2 of the hottest names and brought on less heralded Bolt who ahs turned the baseball up a notch. Not his fault the 2 hot hired haven't worked out so far. He basically gave them both free reign of how they wanted to run things.

The only way a Coach/AD can survive and prosper at Nebraska is if he is able to work with the TC to keep them happy but still be able to do what is best for the program. Turd got bullied by them pretty badly but he got a bunch of coin out of them in return. They may have won the battle on keeping Frost for another year but he won the War. I was afraid Turd was going to follow the TC's wishes because he was basically planted by them in the position. He was not close to being the most qualified but he did have a couple big boosters that loved him as did the TC. Now we have seen Turd stand up to them trying to do what was best for the program, and it feels like he not only has a strong backbone but also got a little upper hand on them.

John Cook's calm no nonsense demeanor and reputation I think would have worked well to standing up to the TC. I doubt he would worry about getting fired if he did something that was against their wishes. Originally was worried about the Turd hire but now I'm happy about it plus we don't have to worry about losing our amazing Volleyball coach to another job in the Athletic Department.
 
What I know is that although Moos was a complete drunk, and basically a ghost around the Ath. Dept., he repeatedly got his nuts clipped very early on in his tenure which lead to him realizing that he had no actual authority or ability to do his job. As a result, he just decided to cash his paychecks and kick up his feet. The only time he made headlines was when he was thrown under the bus for something, and he usually responded through the media like his "8 or 9 wins" comment.

This is soo freakin' true. Moos was completely inept, but that is what the TC wants in their AD...until the mess is so bad that they dont.
