Is Pollard a serious candidate for the Neb Ad job

It would be awful if he were to leave. As we sit here with an interim president, who knows what we'd end up with for an AD? cough Van De Velde cough
Nebraska would be stupid to not offer him (or want him) and JP would be stupid to take the job.
BUT they do have really deep pockets, so anything is possible.
Crazy and stupid. Yes and yes.
I'm really hoping for Alberts and Frost...becasue ain't **** gonna change for Neb. And after five years of more big ten west mediocrity maybe everyone will finally put the old days out of their minds. Just like Minnesota had to do.
I would’ve said the same thing then I looked up the roster and saw six former four-star recruits and a former five-star recruit, several of them weren’t able to play a year ago.
If Nebraska was still a national title contender, I'd say yes, but right now I don't really see what they have to offer. Sure they have some more money and historical football success, but I don't see that as enough reason for Pollard to leave a place that is so special and unique.
I know their roster pretty well. Losing 3 of their top 4 players from last year plus Horne but yes I'm aware they return Watson and Copeland who should be really good. I think that Allen kid who will be a freshman will be a key guy too.
Also add Miami transfer James Palmer, who was a four-star recruit out of high school, and get Anton Gill back from injury. Will it play out as the most talented? I highly doubt it, but that’s a lot of talent on paper.
It's nothing against Jacobson or Morrow but both of them left because they saw the writing on the wall. They are solid players but neither were a big part of the programs future. Miles quietly killed it on the recruiting trail in '16.
Palmer sucked at Miami and Gill is coming off an injury and didn't really produce much before he got hurt either.
That doesn’t change the fact that this is the most on paper talent he has had. As I said, I highly doubt it plays out that way. I don’t think Miles is a very good coach. Basketball just took the backseat though and if the program can show any form of life this season he isn’t going anywhere.

Roby and Tshimanga were decent off the bench and Horne transferred out.
I’m a big Tshimanga guy. He showed a lot of improvement during his freshman season. He and Roby lived down the hall from my sister, which has nothing to do with anything else.
I think he was a pretty bright future but not sure I'd say he "killed it" with that class.
The fact that Pollard is really good at his job and has done that with far less resources than most major departments.
That team had a lot more talent than the team before that made the tournament IMO.
