Nebraska's Tim Miles Could Be Back In Same Boat He Was A Year Ago

Two months before his sixth season at Nebraska, coach Tim Miles was told his job was on the line. “I’m really going to need to see discernible improvement to keep you here,” then athletic director Shawn Eichorst told Miles in 2017.

 

It was the first time in his coaching career Miles had heard such a demand, and it naturally made him feel uneasy. Six weeks later, Eichorst was fired, and Miles would get a new boss. But the sentiment, whether shared by new AD Bill Moos or not, still hung in the air. In December, Miles told The Fieldhouse that he knew he was in a contract year. Last week Moos told The Associated Press that he planned to begin talks about a contract extension when Miles returned from the Final Four.

 

That’s because the Cornhuskers delivered for their coach with a fourth-place finish in the Big Ten, tying with eventual national runner-up Michigan in the conference standings. A poor nonconference performance and a weak strength of schedule kept Nebraska from reaching the NCAA Tournament, but it was good enough to allow Miles to keep his job.

 

Now, however, the question is whether Nebraska is going to invest in Miles with a contract extension — he has two years left on his deal — or put the coach in the uncomfortable position of spending another year coaching for his job.

How hard was Miles laughing was Creepy SE was canned?

 

I wonder if Miles ran into SE's office and looked around just to make sure SE didn't leave some notes about wanting to fire Miles around for Moos to see.

 

Nice story - i'm guessing on the one year anniversary of this event you were in Moos's office looking to remove any notes regarding the 22 wins this year

Heck no...Miles can stay at NU for the next 25 years.  

 

But it makes sense that he would be happy SE was canned and it makes sense that he would want the first impression with the new boss to be positive, right?

Yes that all makes sense - snooping thru his office not so much.
