Comish

Declining to comment is a far different animal than simply refuting and publicly announcing " I'm not interested".... Plenty of wiggle room left, when it was a golden opportunity to shut down the rumors.

If this season was a comic strip, the most notable feature would be the proverbial black cloud hovering incessantly over the program.....

I don't think that's much of a realistic worry.....

Bingo!

Plus he runs a very entertaining style...

Screwed by the NIT - wits TWO consecutive years. I'd like to tell 'em no thanks.... we're declining and moving on....

Wasn't it mostly about Jacobson wanting to be more of a facing offensive threat and coaches needing him defensively underneath...which ironically is basically what he is now doing at ISU? Or am I not remembering the situation correctly?

Unless a potential lengthy run in the NIT would foul up the timing

It would seem odd ...but a couple of guys with ties that have been ahead of the rumor mill before are pushing it

Rumor is Hoiberg...but nothing's really known. Just passing along what some are saying...

I believe you might be quoting me (albeit incorrectly); because I used the phrase....."coaching his A$$ off"......... My INTENT was to be able to at least give Miles some credit for his strategies, game management and substitution rotations under really poor circumstances the last three games. THAT is an entirely different argument than whether or not they were playing for themselves or TM. (although locker room post game videos....especially yesterday......SEEMED to indicate there is some genuine affection for their current coach). I don't think it is all that difficult to toss some crumbs to TM, even if he will almost certainly be gone. It also doesn't delve into why they weren't motivated throughout a woeful season. For the record, I too believed that Miles should have been gone last year........but understand the Moose problem of replacing two major sports coaches in the same year.......especially his first. Life is not a zero sum game.........crediting Miles for hanging in there and helping all Nebraska fans enjoy the end of the season for a few more days doesn't mitigate his other issues for being a seven year .500 coach. Just enjoy the fact that this ending is much more enjoyable than most of us would have predicted just a week ago.

I've been as tough on TM as anyone and a lot of the season is on him, but holy cow, he has coached his a$$ off these last 3 game and he deserves credit for that, at least. The hugging videos of the coaches and players interacting in the post game locker room weren't "Fake News"...

Just saw that Oats, the Buffalo coach who many speculated was the Moose Man's first choice just signed an extension to stay at Buffalo ...for what it's worth..

There is always Oregon State...

I totally agree with this. I'd live to be wrong, but without the PBA energy the reality of this teams road moxie is unsightly.
