On his monthly appearance on the Huskers Radio Network, Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts heaped praise on Cornhusker Fans... "I really believe whoever becomes the next head coach at Nebraska, one of the driving components to it and primary reasons is because of our fan base,” Alberts said. “It’s the greatest thing we have to sell.” Alberts said that as he speaks to coaches and football people around the nation, a common theme is the deep respect others have for the history of Nebraska Football and its potential to regain influence in the future.
Alberts also has kept up his high praise for Interim Head Coach Mickey Joseph and his staff. “It’s very, very meaningful to me and I’ve very, very appreciative of our coaching staff, our recruiting staff,” Alberts said. “Nothing has stopped. They’ve continued working very hard. They’re trying to do the right things for Nebraska and I think that really speaks to the character of all the people involved.”
Although it's been over two months since the firing of Scott Frost, Alberts says the search has made “very good progress.” “We’re where we’d hoped to be and confident as we move forward,” Alberts said. “…Really pleased with the process, really pleased with the amount of data and the amount of work we’ve been able to do. Looking forward to the day when we can announce a coach. I understand it’s hard sometimes to say just be a little bit patient. But we’ll have to be as a fan base. I do appreciate our fans giving us the space to do what we said we would do.”
The Husker football team is planning to move into the new still-under-construction facility just outside Memorial Stadium next summer, Alberts said. “It’s going to get kind of quiet here but I want our fans to understand it means we’re just going to work now behind the scenes,” Alberts said. “The next time we go public with it we’ll have a pretty detailed plan around Memorial Stadium modernization.”
