It's too stressful for me! Just f'in win, boys.

Guessing this entire thing is a giant nothing burger and will have no actual impact on our 8-5 season next year.

Three weeks ago we were firing Hoiberg.

Just like how QB’s have career days in us in football.

This is a fair point. Somewhat depends on how much you want to assume that giant shifts in the landscape of college basketball during his tenure here play a meaningful impact. Obviously, took over during covid shut downs. If we think the 2020 covid were any sort of a hindrance to a quick turnaround, then you have to say he inherited the 7-10 type team, took that to 10-22 the following year, moved to 16-16, then 23-10, and now 12-7 with what looks realistically like may shake out to 16-15 ish if we are lucky. So, has trended up with a hiccup this year? With Mast hurt. And doing that with the crazy NIL landscape? Are we competitive there in basketball? I just don't know, but what I am saying is that if you can get a Bill Self and are willing to throw big NIL around, go that direction. But if you are going to try to hire another unproven coach and handicap them in the NIL game, I'd give Fred another year and hope this year was minor setback.

Boy I'd hope not. In the portal transfer NIL wild west era, I'd be remiss to ditch any coach that had NU basketball in the NCAA's just last season. There is no "building" anymore in basketball. Unless you can bring in a bigger "name," coach, I'd think the move would be to stick with Hoiberg and give him a level of NIL allowance commissure with the level of success your like your basketball program to perform at.

Not sure why it would bother you much if they didn't. The time is up for all of us at some point in our careers. If you aren't good enough for the next level, you aren't good enough. It's just the way of the world in general.

In fairness even Rhule said his original intentions were to build and develop players over a 2-3 year timeline. Even Rhule had had to do an about face of his approach to the portal given the floodgates that opened this year. He is very smart to be willing to do so. Not even a year ago everybody was busting Neon’s take all upgrades portal approach. Cooper was just marching along Rhules vision, but tides turned and now it’s just a giant candy shop.

Not really, when you consider we only had THREE WEEKS TO WORK ON IT!

May as well try it. He’s as good as he’ll ever be, might as well learn now that it’s not good enough

This is Key. Get it?!?! Hahaha!

or c) are f#&%ing incompetent at this part of the game. Here is the cold hard truth.. It was the wrong time in ALL of college football history to hire a "developer" as a coach.

But we are building something great here, just ask us.

Newsflash... We don't. We never do. We will get who we will get and we will all go crazy fawning over what a low-key great "get" this was.. But, in the end ,we will just look/be stupid as always.

I'd rather get coal.

Behooves Rhule to get his DC announced sooner rather than later, though, with the massive amount of movement with players happening. We know we can field an offense next year. Without a defense, we will still be holding our peens in our hands.

Convince other teams to be interested in an AT-AT as their primary tight end.

Fat lotta good it does when they transfer in 2 years. High school recruitment needs to become a second class citizen until some sort of contract structure gets put in place for places like NU that are trying to build.

Nothing to worry about as long as they add a coin or two to the bag….

First coach in EVER to realize, admit, and correct it. I’ll take it!

Smart money is to wait for the replacement, though.

Already winning the off season Natty! Earlier than ever, we really are improving!

I'll tell you what I would NEVER want to do.. Be the next coach after Deion in Boulder.

And there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth…

My heart hurts for them.
