hskrfan4life Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I wonder what we have to do in order for Miles to win. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 After his flop at Iowa, it's interesting to see Alford on the list. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Probably Elite 8 for Miles to win I would guess. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The odds just got a bit longer on winning this thing. Quote Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well Tim Miles turned me into a Nebraska basketball fan...which is something I thought was impossible... Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 He is still our coach of the year. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Without a doubt, I wouldn't want any other coach for the Huskers. Miles is the real deal and will make NU relevant for years to come. We just need to make sure he stay.s well compensated for his abilities. Quote Link to comment
