Moos has done a fantastic job but he's also gotten somewhat lucky in terms of timing on his two previous hires. Our two consensus favorite candidates for each position just happened to have worked their way up the coaching ladder in their respective sports AND in Hoiberg's case, been available (imagine if the Bulls run had worked out?) when we had openings to fill.
For example, before we hired Riley, I heard talk of just throwing whatever money it took to lure a top tier coach - i.e., a Saban or luring Jim Tressel out of retirement. Even our ideas about the right coach to fill an opening can get unrealistic.
It sucks because memories of the past and a couple decades of mostly irrelevance warps Husker fan's perception of where we are now and what's actually possible here.
That's all I have heard before Riley, before Fred, before this now, before the other moves in other sports. You know what makes coaches want to come here, clear cut expectations, support, and big fat checks. Also knowing the risk of what they are doing. I don't care if we fire a coach after 3 years of terrible performance, what are you going to do, be worse?
