Steven M. Sipple: Alberts' new-sheriff messages just might make Hoiberg, Frost fidget in seats

Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts speaks to reporters during his introductory news conference in July.

If you sit down with Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts for an hour, you'll definitely catch a new-sheriff-in-town vibe.

It makes sense. He's been on the job for only seven months. So, new vibe, new message.

There's a distinct feel to it. Put it this way: If you're Fred Hoiberg with a 5-41 Big Ten record in two-plus seasons, or Scott Frost with a 10-25 conference record in four seasons, the new sheriff's core messages might make you fidget in your seat, if you weren't already.
