    I would like to think he is right. I think it might be 2020, before we really start thinking about a year like he's talking about.

    So no, I won't think 9-3 is a let down. Just wishing for a return to what I grew up with. It's coming !!

    Obligatory "Is Iowa a Rival" Thread

    I was not aware that the black friday game had been dropped from a national game. That sucks because we usually are in Laughlin or Vegas for the the holiday weekend, and they don't carry the BTN, in the casino's we have stayed at. I could always count on watching it on the one of the main channels. 

    Of course it may not matter in the future, as it may get back to being a one sided game by the time the two years are done on the BTN,  so ABC or FOX probably won't want to pick it up anyway.

    From Bad Defense to Good Defense

    Dishman couldn't block the D-end all game. He had a windmill type of move with his arms, that threw Dishman one way or the other when he extended his arms to block. 

    Stuggs or Suggs something like that. Problem was he was known for that move and still had his way.

    Weren't we all kinda hyped up about Bradley a year ago? 

    Belt seems to be in that kind of situation. Don't know if he will play much or at all, this year. Don't think he really went up against top talent, like some of the recruits coming in at r/b.

    Nice to be able to have that many choices for Frost to look at. After what Oz did last year, it should hype up the r/b's, that they to can play if they put in the work and wait their turn.

    Fred Hoiberg To Be Named Next Nebraska Coach

    in Husker Basketball

    I think Moos hit a homerun on his last hire, for a head coach. I don't care if he offered the job to Hoiberg last week or a month ago.

    There's no reason we can't put a team on the floor that can compete year in and year out, playing for a NCAA bid. The facilities are in place, the money is there, and the fan base will always be there. Tired of hearing it's only a football school. Tell that to Okl, OSU, Mich and the other football only programs, that have a team in the NCAA tourney year in and year out, and their teams in bowl games in Jan.....

    They did ask him and he said no.  He has hard feelings, because we hired Doc instead of him.  If TO is completely out of the picture, he might come back.

     

    Thanks for the info. That's what I was wondering about back then. Why didn't T O want to hire him ? Was it because he didn't want to cause bad feelings with  Creighton or did he and Altman have a problem between them ?

    Altman hates the huskers & Hoiberg is not coming out of the nba.  Oats , or mussleman

     

    Where did you hear he hates Neb. 

    I asked back when Miles was hired why they didn't hire him. Sounded to me he wanted the job then. I thought because he was  coaching at Creighton, we didn't want to step on any toes. I asked if there was any bad blood between him and NU, and no one said they heard of any. 

    I think we missed on him, and to get him back now would be a tough sell. What would you tell him the reason was, he was not hired last time the opening was there. 

    Would love to see him come back and try to get the program up and running, but wouldn't blame him one bit if he said stick it.....

    I think, just a guess, that Fred would rather just take an office position again in the NBA

    Pitino would be an amazing hire and the doods that are all about "integrity" and stuff, you need to realize that the cheating is already going on, yes, even at NU.

     

     

    If that's true, we aren't very good at it.  :lol:

    I thought his first few years he was just another Cross type back. A thumper. Something happened this last year, that has to have something to do with the new staff. Scheme, S&C, attitude, but what ever it was, it was the biggest turn around I have seen, that I can remember. I'm going to say all three. You just don't do what he did, in one year, the way he did it, without buying in completely to the new staff.

    If our main playmakers were all coming back for one more year, then yeah maybe ten wins. 7- 9 wins would be a big improvement. 

    Trying to say which games are wins, and which ones are loses, didn't play out to well last year, for all us guru's on here.

    Maybe we can win 10, but i think that is still a couple years away yet. I'm thinking 8 this year.

    That's the most selectively biased list of things I've probably ever seen in my life. Especially because Saban hasn't even coached for 25 years :lol: Anyone can play that pointless game.

     

    Averaged 11.75 wins a season: Saban at Bama - Yes / Osborne at Nebraska - No

     

    Teams ranked in top 10 90% of the time: Saban at Bama - Yes / Osborne at Nebraska - No

     

    Won 6 National Championships as a head coach: Saban at Bama - Yes / Osborne at Nebraska - No

     

    Won 8 Conference Championship games: Saban - Yes / Osborne - No

     

    Won 12 Conference Divisional Titles: Saban - Yes / Osborne - No

     

    Won 14 Coach of the Year Awards: Saban - Yes / Osborne - No

     

    Turned Around Two Mediocore/Poor Programs and Made Them Elite: Saban - Yes / Osborne - No

     

    Developed a massive and prestigious coaching tree: Saban - Yes / Osborne - No

     

     

    Despite that being perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever engaged in, and none of those things really mattering, your whole, "Saban isn't the best because he did it at ALABAMA" thing just makes no damn sense when you turn around and talk about how Osborne is so much better. Osborne didn't have to build anything. He inherited the keys to maybe the most well oiled machine in the whole country. He was never not the head coach of an elite program. He never had to rise through the ranks of smaller, disadvantaged schools. He was the head guy at the school that invented strength and conditioning and had a competitive edge over almost everyone.

     

     

     

     

     

    Is Saban the G O A T, maybe. I still think what Tom did for Nebraska has him in the mix. 

    One thing I think you might have forgot is, Tom is the one who Devaney handed the keys to, and told him fix the offense. I don't think Devaney wins two NC, without Tom at his side.

    Sure he interviewed with Col in 78, the alum were calling for his head. Let Saban lose to Auburn like Tom did with Okl early on, and we will see the same thing there.

    I remember reading Tom spreading his raises out to his asst coaches in some years when they weren't getting them, don't know that many other coaches do that. Granted now days some of them make more than Tom ever did. 

    We had one of the elite coaches and gentlemen to ever coach the game, I'll hang my hat with Tom....jmo
