AD search update.

According to an anonymous source, Nebraska may have received a commitment from current TCU Athletic Director Chris Del Conte and Nebraska is just waiting on the timing of the announcement.

So the question remains, if he were to take the job, do he give Riley the boot and bring in Gary Patterson who has had major success at TCU minus all the talent he could pull in at Nebraska.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Wow, if that is true.

He was my Numero Uno AD to get.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Chris Del Conte was appointed Texas Christian University's director of intercollegiate athletics in October of 2009. Under Del Conte, five TCU head coaches (Gary Patterson, football; Jim Schlossnagle, baseball; Karen Monez, rifle; David Roditi, men's tennis; Haley Schoolfield, equestrian) have been named National Coach of the Year. Ten sports — baseball, women's basketball, football, women's golf, rifle, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, women's tennis, women's indoor and outdoor track and field — have won conference titles under Del Conte, who has seen 17 of 21 sports represented in NCAA postseason play.

From the Eichorst fired thread. I posted this on September 21, 2017.

His money in 2015

TCU Financial Report

Nebraska offers him $3,000,000 total base pay + incentives + other stuff

I also approve White_Rats suggestion, Dave Rimington. Dave would be cheaper than an experienced Del Conte.

According to Footballscoop

Nebraska: The Huskers are expected to name a full-time AD this week, according to Lee Barfkneckt of the Omaha World-Herald. Nebraska is widely expected to hire a sitting FBS AD. Barfknecht specifically mentions: Jeff Long (Arkansas), Rob Mullens (Oregon), Jamie Pollard (Iowa State) and Kirby Hocutt (Texas Tech) as potential names.

Hell if I know. My personal opinions

I don't want Long. Yes, he is respected, but beilema is his. Long might be on the way out anyway.

Mullens has not done a bad job, but how much of that is Phil Knight's money and cheating? Not to mention, can he raise money by actually having to do it? Phil Knight just gives Oregon a billion here and a billion there from Nike. I would even say, most of the calls at Oregon are made by Phil Knight in the backroom.

Hocutt no thanks. He was at Miami Florida. An HQ of cheating. Nevin Shapiro comes to mind.

Jamie Pollard. My source at Iowa State said no chance two weeks ago. But money talks. Hard worker. Iowa State really does not cheat much.

Also heard maybe AD at UCF could be candidate

 

[HuskerPower52]

I am hearing that we're getting the Arkansas ID and he's bringing Bielema with them and if that happens I'm done with
