Breaking Turd Alberts to Texas A&M

[Juro]

On a scale of 1-10, how naive am I in thinking that this won’t have a huge effect on Rhule? I’m sure he’s not pleased, and they obviously had a good relationship, but I would imagine he’ll have a lot of input on the next hire and whoever comes in will almost certainly give Rhule and the football program all they want.

6. But it will vary on who gets hired in the AD role.

I don't think you leak the deal without it being 99% done. Texans are dumb tho

I don’t think it’s naive.
And realistically Nebraska is winning 6-8 games at best next year. Teams that can afford to pay him more money and pay a buyout aren’t looking at him going we need him after his 2 years at Nebraska

Unless it’s Turd’s way to strong arm the top positions to stop fucking around.

On a side note, why even bother announcing contract details anymore for college athletics? They truly dont matter, once they want a change they get out of it anyway lol

More from BC on 247 "Zenitz had a good tweet on it. A&M side clearly feels its trending toward him being there. Just saying to not count it as done until it is official. I've heard from a voice or two on Nebraska's side that had hope from NU's end this morning. We'll see. Nothing would surprise me on it now."

On a serious note: I often run into a BOR member during lunch. If I do today I'll try to pick their brains about this.

Time to burn down UNL and make UNK the states flagship university.

I just heard that the BOR was blindsided by this and haven’t heard anything about him leaving as of this morning.

Much closer to 10 then 1

This has to be a leadership issue right? I don't think I've ever heard one positive thing said about the BoR

 

[stonesak]

Someone just leak to A&M that Turd wants to get rid of male cheerleaders and hates collies and that will take care of itself.

Have him go to Gomer Yell Practice and he'll be out of their quicker than Dana Altman doing the Pig Sooey.

I'm okay with losing 100% of the faculty if we keep Turd & Rhule.

Sure, but that's not the scenario in play. We may be losing Turd and Rhule for the same reason faculty is fleeing.

Or just beat the hell out of em. Whatever works.

I understand it could be difficult at times with no president, but doesn’t the ad report to the chancellor now anyways?

On a day to day basis I doubt his job is much different and it’s up to him to set the standard of leadership in the athletic department. If he’s getting pissy because it’s harder to fundraise/get his stadium expansion plans going because of no president then he San royally fuck off.

No, Turd still reports to the president. Turd used to report to the chancellor, but after Green left that changed.

I'm having a little trouble understanding the "university leadership issues made him leave" angle... Clearly the instability is ridiculous, but how has that affected Turd to the point that he'd burn a bridge like this? Hasn't he pretty much gotten everything he wanted so far?

• Huge salary/raise/extension
• Got the go-ahead to restructure Frost's contract which threaded the needle perfectly when it came time to fire him
• Convinced boosters to step up with money to hire Rhule
• Sports trending up
• Is literally being allowed to tear down and rebuild Memorial Stadium
• Was given very unique power within the university system where he bypasses the chancellor and only reports directly to the University President

Lord knows the regents and boosters and all that can cause a mess, but with ALL of that power, everything that was going in Turd's favor, what in the world could possibly cancel all of that out and make him give up on his "beloved" alma mater and burn bridges with fans who have respected him for over 30 years? They're taking a long time to hire a new president? They're stingy with money but obviously can be persuaded because he's already done it several times? What am I missing? Where else would he get this much freedom and clout? If anything, the leadership vacuum has given him MORE power and influence, not less.

And the complaints that we’ve heard about chancellor are about academics, which means nothing to the AD.

Obviously depends on who replaces him. If its an AD that just gives him what he needs and supports him - it'll be a none issue. If its an AD that wants to question every dollar he wants to spend and put up road blocks, we'll lose Rhule for sure.

An AD that wants to invoke his own agenda into the Football program would chase Rhule away pretty quick too I'd imagine. NIL is a huge issue right now and if you get the wrong guy who wants to make a point about being anti-NIL like we've seen a few ADs do, we're doomed.
