I guess all those social media types who thought no one wanted to come to DONU were WRONG!!!! SUCK IT NERDS!!! We're so back! GBR!!

So what you're saying is that you're now insideher?

If you ever see that tag hit my profile just know (you probably won't)

 

[Samkellers_69]

I’ll believe that when I see it. Every Nebraska hire is a home run to the fans, i.e. Frost, Fred etc.

Given the total shitshow in Lincoln and the fact that we not only hired maybe our most qualified athletic director in years but poached him from a B1G rival, where he hadn't even unpacked, I'd call this a home run

“Dannen is a leading national voice in intercollegiate athletics, currently serving his fourth year as Chair of the NCAA Football Competition Committee and as an Executive Committee member of the Football Oversight Committee.”

Seems like a big deal?

I've known Troy for a long time. He's good friends with some family. Super cool guy. This is a destination job for him. I think we lucked into this one - wouldn't surprise me if he reached out himself.

He's more of an administrator than Turd and not as much a politician/fundraiser but he's uber-effective and makes great, innovative hires. Fourtune 500 executive type

I'm a huge fan of the hire personally and I think he'll win the press conference.

We are gonna be so flush with inside info Garrett might become a billionaire

 

[HerbRedman]

Did we just upgrade?

Possibly but beyond that it's a massive statement that Nebraska isn't fucking around.

Also did it the day before the NCAA tournament starts (where all university presidents, ADs, apparel sponsors, etc congregate). This could not have been handled any better.

Well done, UNL.

 

[Fargo Husker]

Having known who he is for about 10 minutes my initial reaction is certainly positive.

Agreed.

 

[SOHusker11]

Not possible. We have no leadership..........

 

[FLusker]

Yeah so... fuck Turd. Lets go TD.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Speaking of not learning from past mistakes "He's an Cockeye guy"

 

[Kazman5k]

this is the dude that Turd creams his tighty whiteys dreaming about being.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

We'd be crucifying an AD if they showed up for 6 months and then bailed as a failed leader and a total doucher so I'm waiting and seeing on this one

 

[BIGSTICK67]

lol i can't hire an entry level candidate that quickly

I know right. I'm in Talent Acquisition and people ghost the hell out companies constantly....just like Turd did. Ha ha!

 

[HuskerMarine]

I wonder how much influence Rhule had on this hire.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

“Dannen is a leading national voice in intercollegiate athletics, currently serving his fourth year as Chair of the NCAA Football Competition Committee and as an Executive Committee member of the Football Oversight Committee.”

Seems like a big deal?

Seems like something that Rhule said he wanted in an AD.

[SOHusker11]

Got damn Matt Rhule. I love you, you sneaky bastard.

 

[Red Finger]

We got our guy....
