Yes. But just wait till they start firing people, the ridiculous arrogance will be back. RTO will return. God, i fracking hate them.

They all seem to think that Bringing in TO as AD would be the absolute best thing to ever happen to NU. Atleast for the short-term, it ain't gonna solve shat!
I got to meet TO a couple years back. The man has really erroded in recent years. True it would bring in more donations from the big boosters, but overall I think it would be a bad idea from an NU standpoint to hire TO as AD. God I hope they do it!

It is a job he always wanted, he was not allowed to be both AD and HC. FWIW, if it is true, I think the only good it does is bring some calm and getting the major donors back on board. That's it, it would not work well long-term.

One name to remember for future AD is Dave Remington. He applied when Pederson was hired, and he is President of the Boomer Esiason (SP?) foundation and very well respected and liked. Would need a bit of seasoning to be AD, hence; TO short-term, Remington long-term. Just a thought, no rumors on Remington but he would be interested.
Hey I just received this from my main inside source: It's already in the works to rid the program of Steve Pedersen, some donors who were hesitant did an about face and starting talking of this by halftime in the skyboxes of todays game. The money is there, some had supported SP previously or supported Callahan - and their money had some restrictions on it. Those restrictions are starting to come off; as you see by the former president of the N club going grass roots. There's a method to the madness. Kevin Cosgrove is as good as gone. SP will try to force that this week to cool some of the heat. Bill Callahan will not budge, protecting his asst.'s, and has leverage with his new extension. After Ball St. this almost happened. BC is calling SP' bluff. They are each standing on their own feet in this situation. If the offense hadn't fold ed in the past 2 games then we wouldn't even be talking about this right now. Just simply removing KC. So in the least: SP is fired. KC resigns. Wagner goes. Elmo remains. Busch and Wyatt are evaluated. Ditto Jordan and Gilmore. Watson will leave at the first inkling of an actual OC spot - regrets of walking away from Berkeley to come to Lincoln. There has been infighting between this staff for 2 years, you didn't think John Blake left for nothing do you? His wife loved the state and folks here. But he wasn't interested in career suicide. Can you blame him? No TO will not return as AD - maybe an emeritus, and Rimington as a fundraiser. Would get Meyers back into the fold - which means money from Hawks & Jensen. Boehm or Casidy would be logical asst. ADs; though Boehm may very well be on his way out. A lot of questions; but an HC change will not be made in the immediate future. First you have to replace SP - then assemble a national search committee. Conduct interviews and hire the best possible candidate. Right now HP is caught with his pants down as he has no prelim list - and he's a lawyer by trade so will be thporough/deliberate. And you have to let the new AD assess the situation, evaluate BC as well as other programs and make his own decisions. If you were to hire a new HC prior to the AD it will make the position less attractive to would be quality applicants/targets. Some wheels are in motion, but most boosters/alumni/donors/regents were not prepared (nor could anyone have been) for the debacle we are currently witnessing. It's going to take time.
