Ten for Tuesday: For these guys it's win, or else...

Tell Gregg your opinion!

 

Only a jackal would relish in another man's struggles. We're not relishing.

 

But in the interest of truth, justice and Bob Huggins' next job, Ten for Tuesday submits the following list of coaches who (surely) enter the conference schedule with their jobs on the line.

 

Alphabetical order, please.

 

Barry Collier, Nebraska: The Cornhuskers are 9-3, but their strength of schedule is ranked No. 269 nationally. Kind of puts that 9-3 mark in perspective, doesn't it? So should this: In its only four games of note, Nebraska is 1-3 -- having beaten Marquette, but lost to Creighton, UAB and Florida State. And Nebraska lost by 26 to Creighton. Collier is 79-80 in 5 1/2 seasons at Nebraska, where the recruiting has improved but the results have not. His Big 12 record: 29-51.

would Bob Huggins really be considered for the job here? What do other people here think of this guy? I myself don't know about him, his teams at Cinci won but they were a bunch of thugs it seemed. I don't know if I'd like him as the next bball coach.

Bob Huggins would be a good start to get this program turned around. Forget his teams with Cinn where he was in charge and everyone was afraid to to confront him. Steve P, would have to let him no, early on that hes going to have to build his team with not only the best players he can get but also that they need to be real students not just hired guns. Thats the Ath Dir job, hes paid to over see that things are being done right. Football has always been and will always be first in Husker fans hearts but if we are ever going to step up and play with the big boys, we need a coach that when he walks in a high school kids living room his attention is not just what school hes be asked to come to but "Who" the coach is thats asking.Sorry but Nebraska isn't going to peak a kids interest unless a coach of Bob Huggin"s stature or another big name shows up at their door step. IMHO
