Nebrasketball will not be able to hire Altman or Martin away from their current employers.

Martin has put his name in for a couple jobs this cycle already. He’s pretty upset at the lack of investment made by SC post final four run

IF a change goes down... 

 

Candidates: 

 

Oats (Buffalo) 

Musselman (Nevada)

Jankovic (SMU)

Martin (South Carolina)

Altman (Oregon)

 

Oats only has 3 years hc experience. Not sure he is proven just yet?

Altman is going to be 60 years old and Jankovich 59 when next season starts. How many years do they have left? Would like to have a coach that wants to be here for 15+ years.

Musselman would use NU as stepping stone to bigger program or return to NBA. And he might be doing that at Nevada. He would be a short term coach in my opinion.

Martin would be a great hire. Hated him at K-St. and there was talk that he was not on the up and up while there.

Not directly related to NU, but Miles coaching tree.  Craig Smith leaves USD to go to Utah State.  Interesting

Is that a step up?  It seems like a lateral move to me.

Interesting...here are my lame thoughts...

 

Martin is probably waiting for the Miami job

Oats, no idea at all

Musselman would be a great hire but I don't see why he would leave UNR now

Jank is interesting and has midwest ties

Maybe just a money move?  Not sure either.

But a lot of times these coaches get out while the getting out is good.  I mean he probably got a longer deal and more cash...might as well take that lotto ticket when you can.

Dan Majerle at Grand Canyon? They play an exciting brand of basketball.

i'd be supportive of this but I thought I read an article on him that stated he wanted to stay in the Phoenix area (wife's family maybe?)

He was making $275k per year at USD, and there isn't any news of what he's going to get paid at USU, but his predecessor there was making around $375k, so a pretty nice bump in pay for sure.

 

But it is most definitely a step up in prestige - in the Mountain West he'll be going up against the likes of UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, Boise, Colorado State - and potentially Gonzaga in league play next year.  That's a significant increase in schedule strength over what he was facing week in and week out in the Summit League.  Plus, USU will be on national TV much more frequently than USD was.

 

...and the fan environment when it's rolling in Logan is among the best in the country:

Probably true, but if Moos is looking he might as well put a feeler out.

I guess I missed USU moving to the Mountain West.  That is definitely a step up.

Highly doubt that Musselman or Martin would leave their current gigs to come to a worse situation. 

 

Altman would be hilarious, and is not-so-secretly what I am hoping for.

I just heard the same rumor. Time will tell but it seems like a good move if true.

Made a thread in rumor board but this has significant legs.

Rumor based off another site?  Or something more credible by chance?  Appreciate the updates!
