Is Pollard a serious candidate for the Neb Ad job

[ISpyCy]

Nebby wants to find someone who is not only knowledgeable about athletics, but has Nebraska ties, as per the Chancellor's press conference. That right there all but eliminates JP. I expect Trev Alberts to be a name that's thrown around a lot in the next few days.

I'm sure it would be enticing but the new AD is going to have to **** can a football and basketball coach and there is going to be a ton of pressure on that football HC hire.

If JP is interested in the Nebby job, he is not as smart as we think he is.

Would hate to be the guy in charge when the 356 game "sellout" streak (began in 1962) ends. Someone email that to Pollard.

Well, that would be their first mistake.

So when is Reilly going to be let go?

So when is Reilly going to be let go?

The Saturday after thanksgiving.

As many others have mentioned, I think Jamie being the next AD at Wisky is a pretty easy and good call.
I think his heart is very family orientated, so I think they will have a huge say in whatever he does going forward.
I know we're also only like a year or so removed from the retention bonus he got. Does he have another one of those in his contract?

 

[cyputz]

They would be crazy not to give it a shot

 

[Bestaluckcy]

Would be sweet if they beat Iowa again and then fired Riley.

 

[brianhos]

Step into that chaos with that fanbase? Yuck.

Alberts to UNL getting a lot of play on the Omaha media...there definitely are worse picks than Alberts.

Not if you're not a Husker fan.

We're really patient here. He seems to have make some good choices in Prohm and Cambell and if I were him I'd want to stick around to bask in the upcoming glory.

Although he ended the UNO football and championship caliber wrestling programs, he did bring the school up to D1 status. Men's basketball was pretty close to the big dance last year too. It wouldn't be a splashy hire (his demeanor is that of Pelini), but not the worst thing in the world either.

Calling it here:
1. Alberts hired as AD.
2. Alberts goes after either Scott Frost (former QB) or Les Miles (son plays for Nebby).
3. Alberts then fires Tim Miles.

You know that old saying...when a Pollard door closes a Hoiberg one opens.

 

[NickTheGreat]

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.

 

[CycloneVet]

For those who think Hoiberg is an option as a future AD please stop.

Been listening to some Omaha sports radio this afternoon and I’d actually be surprised if Miles is gone as soon as some people believe. Eichorst was not his biggest fan and he has (possibly) the most talented roster that he’s had since he’s been at Nebraska. Miles might actually be the big winner from this whole deal.

I predict a JP contract extension with uplift in the next 2 weeks.
