Don't hire Trev Alberts

Trev Alberts as the Director of Athletics at the University of Nebraska-Omaha?

Not yet. The former Nebraska All-American is one of four finalists to become the new AD for the Mavericks. He's up against a high school AD, the commissioner from a small Division II conference and a football coach from another small school.

Alberts' credentials? An endorsement from Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne and getting canned from ESPN for refusing to show up for work one day. So who do you think the school will hire? Alberts is probably a lock (see: Larry Coker hire at UT-San Antonio).

We're not questioning Alberts intelligence, especially his football smarts. But this guy's ego will cause a divide at UNO. Clearly Osborne is grooming Alberts to replace him in Lincoln with the much bigger Cornhuskers. If the Mavericks go with Alberts it has all the makings of when the Detroit Lions hired Matt Millen -- failure written all over it.

Nothing is official yet, but let's just say Nebraska-Omaha officials have been warned.

Now for some questions. If the NCAA really makes Florida State vacate a number of victories because of the latest scandal is this the beginning of the end for Bobby Bowden? Is there anyone more exciting for college football right now than Lane Kiffin at Tennessee? Do we really need spring football games? What was UT-San Antonio thinking when it hired Larry Coker? These are just a few of the topics that Phil and Tom discuss this week on their College Football Podcast.

Podcast: Episode 23

Has it really been two weeks already? Guess so because Phil and Tom are back in the studio with a new podcast for everyone. They're talking about the poor economy and the impact on College Football, Ole Miss and its 38 recruits, the potential of Jon Gruden landing on his feet at the collegiate level and poor Larry Coker. Hope you enjoy Episode 23.
