Inside Info Source - Klassy is confirmed

We’re getting a little bit weird here. Moos was fired for an alcohol related incident one minute and now he was fired because he wasn’t a “Yes man.”

If this is coming from two different people, I get that. Two different people are going to hear two different things. Totally normal.

They’ve been trying to fire Moos since April of 2019. If they wanted a yes man and he hadn’t been a yes man this whole time I kind of think they’d have found a way to push him out in the summer of 2019.

Interesting point. But I took it the opposite way. A lot of employers will tolerate a behavior if your performance is good, but the moment you are no longer valuable to them, your performance is suffering, or making waves within the organization, it (drinking problem) becomes something that can't be overlooked. In the case of Moos, I doubt his performance issues and drinking issues were mutually exclusive.

At any rate, Klassy is the man now. I have a feeling his leadership will be tested a lot over the next few years.

I didn’t really mention his drinking problem in my post. I simply said that it’s really tough for me to believe that he was fired for being a “yes man” and his termination also stemmed from an alcohol related incident. Both of which have been said here.

But to address your point, we aren’t in disagreement that employers will tolerate a headache or two with an employee as long as that employee is performing the functions of their job at a high level. Here’s the thing though… what was wrong with Moos’ job performance in March of 2019 that would have led to him almost getting canned in April of that year? You had a football program that appeared to be on an upward trajectory post-2018 finish and you just pulled off one of the most improbable hires in history with Hoiberg coming on. With that level of instability that appeared to be around the future of his boss, how do you land a Fred Hoiberg?

Honestly, I believe Moos’ inability to manage funds and fundraise was the biggest thing that led to him being forced out. Add to that a bunch of little things that probably weren’t as big of a deal as they actually were but felt like it and there you have the reason we were willing to pay him 3 million to just fuck off.
 
Here's another point about Klassy, if already stated I apologize, He was hired just 1 year ago. Interesting that just after Moos earlier that year, 2019, was starting to wane in his "yes man" role (if that's what he was at that point). You hire Klassy on the premise that Moos will be out w/in a year and IF Klassy doesn't fuck up the job of "being the AD without being the AD" he'll be the man. So you look at Klassy's Huskers.com profile and he's done the work of an AD right? fundraising, overseeing many departments and roles w/in the athletic department, heading up the NIL progression from the time he got here to now, getting the student athletes ready to make money off their NIL, and basically being the AD while Moos starts to "buck" the system. It's really no surprise that he could be named the new AD.

Bottom line: Klassy was hired to replace Moos anyway and this last year was more of a long term interview for the role.

I am sooooo going to make Deab eat his words when GK is named the new AD. Like he's saying the dude doesn't know how to lead? I can understand a bit about not knowing the lay of the land but he's been here a year, should get it by now. The big question is CAN YOU FIRE FROST? if needed...

His first move should be to bounce baldy (Davison) and ban him from the facilities unless he gets a contract with the new media office to cover football games.

What is Davison hurting?
 
I mean… he did secure the donation that allowed us to start construction of the new facility.

How is he hurting?
If any of the posts in the "Frost's wife..." thread are true, he's hurting the football program by being a douche wagon. If you're looking for specifics, I don't have them. But there are more questions for what has he done to improve the football program, other than secure A donation for the new facility. If he is being credited with securing THE donation that put the facility over the top to get construction started then ALL HAIL Baldy I guess.

I just see him as the dude still riding coat tails and never really amounted to much until Scott came back. Look at his profile on Huskers.com...it's a joke!!

From Huskers.com

Matt Davison is in his third season serving as the Associate Athletic Director for Football. A former Husker football and basketball player, Davison was a teammate of Scott Frost. Davison joined Frost's staff after a career in the medical sales field (drug dealer), but Davison always remained involved with Husker athletics as a color commentator for the Husker Sports Network’s football and men’s basketball radio broadcasts. Davison is still an analyst for the network's game-day football broadcasts. (Can't make it in any other career?)

In addition to his day-to-day role with the football program, (What is it that he does exactly in his day to day?) Davison is heavily involved in the planning and design of Nebraska's new Football Performance Center, part of the athletic department's $155 million, 350,000-square foot expansion project.


- The rest of this is ridiculous "look at what I did when I went to college bull shit..." So I'll ask again, How is he helping?

Davison was a four-year wide receiver from 1997 to 2000, finishing his career ranked second in school history with 93 receptions (currently 13th) and 1,456 receiving yards (currently 11th). He was a three-time honorable-mention All-Big 12 selection and was a part of two Big 12 championship teams and the 1997 national championship team. In 1997, Davison caught a touchdown pass from Scott Frost that deflected off fellow split end Shevin Wiggins’ foot on the final play of regulation to force overtime at Missouri, a game the Huskers went on to win to preserve their perfect season. That play took home the 1997 ESPY for the College Football and Overall Play of the Year.

Davison also excelled in the classroom at Nebraska, as he was a three-time first-team academic All-Big 12 honoree and twice was named to the academic all-district team. Davison was also recognized for his work in the community as a two-time member of the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team. Davison earned his degree in communication studies from Nebraska in 2001.

Matt and his wife, Allie, have a daughter, Reece.
 
If any of the posts in the "Frost's wife..." thread are true,

There have been multiple holes shot through that entire thread in just the past 24 hours. The whole thread was started on the premise that Frost and his wife are separated and that’s been thoroughly debunked.

You are right...many holes...but nothing I've seen in that thread says Matt is a stand up dude.

thats really not the main point of the thread (them being separated) - it’s about Frost having too intense of a social life - and them being separated isn’t debunked because his kids came to practice. Some of the details may be wrong, but you’re overstating your case here by quite a lot.

“Rumors of Frost and his wife being separated are true. She has taken the kids back to Florida apparently.”

That’s literally the first sentence in the thread and it’s been all but proven to be false. Generally, when I try to say someone parties too much to do their job effectively I don’t allege cheating, drugs, and impending divorce. So no. That was absolutely not the main point of that thread. The main point of that thread was to gossip about another man’s personal life and it really got out of hand in so doing.

We’ve now had two people who are around the team and staff a lot that have said there’s no truth to that idea and they can’t seem to find the basis of these rumors because nobody has heard them within the team or staff.

Im not overstating. That entire thread is about 98% made up.

The 2% not made up is the magic the gathering stuff
 
Generally, I don’t just assume people are douches when there isn’t much evidence to suggest it.
you are probably right, I shouldn't just assume he is. I don't know the man.

and @Jim14510 is right, why are we arguing about things we really know nothing about? Let's go have a beer?
