Breaking Turd Alberts named new AD

I talked to my mom tonight, and she is way more dialed in than any of us are. She told me that Turd was specifically hired by UNO to be the bad guy and cancel the football and wrastlin' programs. Hired to do the dirty work, and he did it. And then figured out the rest of the budget shit.
They were moving that way with or without Turd. Usually the guy(head hunter) who does the dirty work doesn’t end up being the guy to do everything he did for 12 years. Maybe he could have handled things a little differently on timing, but people shouldn’t have an issue of why they made the cuts so they could go D1. It gives me hope if Frost keeps shitting himself, Turd won’t hesitate to do the right thing.

Even if he was just doing somebody else's dirty work, the way he did it was completely classless.
 
Hay guys, Alberts was hired at Omaha to be a yes man for the board of regents, and now they're sending him to Lincoln!

We thought Frost was the savior. It’s really Turd because he will have to fire Frost and make a home run hire to get us back.
It would appear that Turd is more than capable of that if it is required. One thing that keeps resonating to me is how much Turd was an accountability guy as the AD at UNO. Focused, driven, and smart. I hold out high hope that Nebraska got a really good long-term pick. Making UNO a hockey school was no small feat, hopefully he can make Nebraska back into a real football school...

I think other ADs were probably scared of this job because do you want to be the guy who possibly has to fire Frost if things don’t change. Turd being an ex Husker definitely wants what is best for Nebraska football, and we know he has already made some tough decisions. I think he will be able to separate Frost the ex player and legend vs. Frost the coach and make the tough choice if it needs to be made myself.

Who says he'd be the one actually making the decision?

You’re right to ask that. Maybe I’m wrong too. If Frost has another losing season how do you even sell keeping him unless there are mass injuries?
 
Don't think this has been linked here. Three-part retrospective look, written just a few months ago, at the killing of UNO's wrestling program, and why there's still a lot of bitterness about it. Perhaps the most critical question: "But if finances and Title IX compliance were primary factors, why then did UNO dispose of a dominant wrestling program only to launch two new men’s programs?"

Even a decade after the fact, Alberts refused their requests to speak on the matter....

@B1G_10_Tony Maybe start by not doing it over the phone. That's considered pretty low in almost any industry, especially with a guy who has given over thirty years of his life to the institution that you just recently became a part of. And maybe don't do it immediately after they win a national championship, without so much as a congratulations or giving the players a chance to savor the moment. Or, you know, pretty much anything else in the article that you bitched about without even reading.

What is considered “mass injuries”? This is year 4… I get it that would change expectations, but even backups should be able to be fundamentally sound. If they aren’t, and that costs the team games, I will not be forgiving even In That scenario

Let’s say our top two qbs get knocked out multiple games and we have a lot of starters miss time and we win 5 games, but we are competitive in most of our games, maybe you give Frost another year.
 
I would say our margin for error with the WRs is razor thin this year. I think we've got a good starting core group, but behind them things get dicey in a hurry. And practically our whole RB room has a history of injuries, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And of course losing your starting QB is pretty much always a Bad Thing™.

In this scenario, I’d probably blame Frost and aquatint for having an O-line that sucks enough to get 2 QBs hurt. So he’d be fire able

I’m not a Frost fan but if we actually looked fundamentally sound and that happened, I would give him another year. If we win 5 games and it’s more of the same coaching wise with the mistakes we have seen the past few years, it’s a no brainer he should go.
