Breaking Turd Alberts to Texas A&M (6 Viewers)

[CornHub]

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? If anything, the leadership vacuum has given him MORE power and influence.

How do we know all of those were things Turd wanted? Everyone thought Turd wanted Frost gone right away. The stadium project hasn't even been approved yet either.

Turd is already second highest paid in the B1G and top 10 nationally.

Someone check if Turd's agent is Jimmy Sexton.

Thamel's involved. This one's done.

This is what I just said to someone else via text almost verbatim.

If true, this is the shittiest day for Nebraska in a long time. I'm normally a huge optimist but if we lose Turd we're fucked. We'll win 9 games this year and Penn State will win 7. Franklin is out and Rhule heads to PSU. Fuck me.

At least someone has loyalty to their Alma mater.

Alternatively, you can 2x your salary somewhere else and dip out of work all together like a decade early.

Turd was a 1st round draft pick, had a cushy broadcasting job, and now makes almost $2 million/year living in Nebraska. If he couldn't afford to retire right now he's too stupid to run an AD

Where else would he get this much freedom and clout? If anything, the leadership vacuum has given him MORE power and influence, not less.

All of that happened with Ted Carter by his side though. Ted's gone. Maybe he's getting too much pushback now.

Nebraska caught with their pants down?

Shocking.

Yeah I hear ya. Still so bizarre though... being an administrator means endless compromise and patience. That's not unique to NU. It sure doesn't seem like Turd's big ideas have been stymied very often from an outsider's perspective. Does he just think they're never going to hire a new President? Why not stick around to see how it shakes out since things are going so well in pretty much every other part of the job? It's not like he's just been waiting around twiddling his thumbs, he's in the middle of gigantic things! Haha. It's just so weird that he'd walk away from all of that.

There is no way this can be about money. Turd has been well compensated for his work for years. He was an NFL draft pick. I bet he still has money from his NFL days. There is no way going from making 1.7 million a year to making 2 or 2.3 makes some major difference to him financially. He's been a millionaire for decades. Can't be about TAM dropping a bag on him.

I'm sure he can afford to retire, but one could always retire with more.money

 

[MaxHuskers34]

Turd/University leadership owe a lot of fans a clear explanation after all the damn money they asked for the last couple of years. Pretty disgusting move at the end of the day.

 

[Alcaus]

The grownups are in charge, folks.

 

[HughJanus]

Imagine choosing this...

Probably, but I bet A&M is still going to give him a fat raise.
