Nebraska AD Bill Moos canned

Interesting what this bodes for Scott Frost. Moos hired Frost and I imagine the new AD isn't going to be in so love with him if he has another mediocre season. I'm sure they'll want to bring in their own guy for the position

The timing strongly implies some sort of personal malfeasance. Nebraska football has not been a beacon (or bastion) of success lately, but basketball has shown unexpected signs of life and the remaining programs all seem successful enough.

E: Added an alternate description of Nebraska's nonsuccess to mollify East Quad.

Two questions come to mind for me.

- I wonder how much of this had to do with the Cornhuskers reportedly trying to back out of the game with Oklahoma?

- Though he's signed through 2026, is six wins the minimum for Scott Frost in 2021? He's 12-20 (9-17 B1G) in three seasons, with his best mark being 5-7 (3-6) in 2019. I don't know the last time a P5 program kept a head coach after four consecutive losing seasons to begin his tenure.

In addition to being 70, he was also an outsider, with no connection to Nebraska when he was hired. 

What about squirrel? Does he survive?

The Moos is loose!

This you, Bill Moos?

Rumor is Scott Frost's mom wasn't a big fan so connect the dots.....

What does that say about Frost?

After perusing /r/cfb, it sounds like a fit problem with a thick glaze of internal Nebraska drama.

Athletic department sources say Moos wasn’t around the office as much as predecessors Eichorst or Tom Osborne. Moos rarely, if ever went to practices — he said he preferred to stay away — and outside of football, he did not have a reputation for attending many Husker sporting events either. His suite at NU basketball games was not often illuminated. He did not attend the Husker baseball team’s run in Arkansas recently.

“Only in spirit,” Moos said by text. He also sent one of his lieutenants, Garrett Klassy, to the season-finale football game at Rutgers.

Especially during the start of the COVID pandemic, Moos spent large stretches of the summer at his cattle ranch in eastern Washington — Moos would readily admit in interviews where he was or if he was driving through Montana back to Nebraska — instead of North Stadium, where the bulk of the athletic department works. He hired two Senior Deputy A.D.s — John Johnson and Klassy — to handle internal and external departmental work while Moos handled media interviews and made numerous appearances for fans. The department is full of competent employees, one source said, who made things run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. But $150 million operation with hundreds of employees needed final input from a leader.

“Internally, it was a trainwreck,” a source said. “The department ran by itself.”
