Husker Doc Talk: A Conversation With Dave Rimington

Nebraska’s Hall of Fame center weighs in on the NIL era, the A.D. job and more

Dave Rimington. That's right, the greatest center in college football history and a longtime supporter of the Doc Talk Podcast joins us for a conversation that covers a lot of different topics.

You may or may not know this, but Dave is a brand new man! He's lost over 140 pounds, had both of his knees replaced, and now can walk for miles and miles without any pain.

At one time, Dave thought he wanted to be the athletic director at Nebraska. He held the position on an interim basis in 2017. Did he want the job in the summer of 2021 when Bill Moos left? Hell no!

Dave is now retired and looking forward to continuing his traveling and taking photos. As you listen to the podcast, you will hear it in his voice; the one thing he wants the most is to see Nebraska start winning again on the football field. But he knows in the day and age of NIL, winning will come with a price tag, and he wonders if Nebraska and its boosters have enough cash to keep up.
