Haspula Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No doubt the media hates tim miles. First they pick his squad to be 12th place this year and they end up 4th. Talk about a slap in the face Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Mark Snyder @Mark__Snyder 1m Beilein: "It doesn't mean anything... I think it is Tim Miles' award" The remaining B!G coaches should make a Bee LIne to the ballot that features the likeness of Coach Smiles............. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Robin Washut @RobinWashut 1m Michigan’s John Beilein named Big Ten Coach of the Year by the league’s media. I did not have a vote, for the record. Boooooo Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'd rather be recognized by my peers. Unless Nebraska suddenly picks up several million more people and the media that goes with it, we're always going to have a tremendous disadvantage compared to the old guard. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 So, a split vote between Nebraska and Michigan? Who'da thunk it. Let's see the trophies. Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Miles should have gotten both (nothing against Beilein) but still, this is really awesome. Eichorst, throw more money at Coach Miles, please. take some moola outta bo's contract and give it to Miles... he actually gets results!! Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 I would love to see Tim Miles win B1G Coach of the Year. Here is a tweet by ESPN's Jeff Goodman: "My Big Ten Coach of the Year was John Beilein -- before today. Now it goes to Nebraska's Tim Miles. Huskers should punch NCAA ticket." https://twitter.com/...ame=GoodmanESPN OH YEAH!!!! I was so happy to hear this news today!!! WHOOO HOOO!~!!! GO BIG RED and congrats to Coach Miles! http://sports.omaha.com/2014/03/10/petteway-1st-team-all-big-ten/ Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 f#*k the media... Tim Miles deserved that and even the winning coach thought that... bunch of idiots who voted without watching a f'ing game. glad the coaches gave it to miles... I trust their opinion more. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 So, a split vote between Nebraska and Michigan? Who'da thunk it. Let's see the trophies. At least you won't read about Bielein bitching about a split 15 years later. Quote Link to comment

I bet all the Husker players who worked their asses off to beat Georgia in the Gator Bowl are happy to hear that. Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 those are the same players that were happy the way Bo called an Iowa game not giving a damn about the season or his players... this is a thread for Tim. he deserves a ton of credit. If we are willing to give extensions and raises to those who are sub par... then Tim Deserves more The players dont care how much money Bo makes anyway. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 this is a thread for Tim. Says the guy who mentioned Bo. 3 Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 just a simple comparison, not planning on starting a pro con bo moment... just saying Smiles gets results, and major ones at that! Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 f#*k the media... Tim Miles deserved that and even the winning coach thought that... bunch of idiots who voted without watching a f'ing game. glad the coaches gave it to miles... I trust their opinion more. This is actually a really intriguing opinion to me. Let me relate it back to college football - I've seen the argument countless times (including on this message board) that the AP poll is more valuable the Coaches' poll. Why? Because coaches don't have time to sit and watch teams when they're so worried about their own and the next opponent. But, the media does. That's why sometimes you see teams like Nebraska in the Coaches' but not the AP - our name still carries weight with coaches, while the media casts us out after we lose games. Now, obviously there's a difference because I'm talking about college ranking and this is the vote for COTY. But, it's an interesting point of debate. Do some people trust the media in football but not in basketball to make a choice like this? Not trying to single you out by the Minnesota! I'm just kind of curious how people view this. Obviously, I'm biased - Tim Miles is COTY. And I'm genuinely surprised even the "media", many of whom decided Nebraska would finish dead last, didn't pick Miles. Michigan was expected to drop off, but they have a proven coach and talent. Nebraska had FAR more questions prior to the season, and Miles has done excellent work. I just don't see how him making a four seed and likely NCAA tourney bid isn't COTY material in the "media's" eyes. Quote Link to comment
