Fred Hoiberg To Be Named Next Nebraska Coach

[cheekygeek]

if the part about assistant pool is correct, I’ll be one happy fan. 

If his old quote about not enjoying recruiting is true, then he better be hiring a whole staff of good recruiters that will simply allow him to be "The Closer".

Pretty much.

Only part I don't like about waiting is we look bad if Nebraska somehow wins the NIT....  we would be firing a coach at Nebraska that won 20+ games in back to back years...  post season be damned... that's not easy to do.

I didn’t know NIT games counted. Honestly does anyone care what happens in the NIT? Seriously 68 freaking teams make the big dance it’s almost hard if your a good team to not make it. To start 11-3 and not make it is hard to do

I don't think that's much of a realistic worry.....

I agree. Plus ya know what- even if we did win somehow. Who cares if it’s a bad look- who cares if someone wanted to judge. We gotta do what’s best for the program and Miles is not it. Also if we land a guy like Hoiberg who’s opinion are we worried about? We would have our next coach and a big name at that. By the time Hoiberg retires or quits no candidates at that time will remember or care about what happened to a .500 career coach we fired X number years prior. Most people have a strong opinion for like a month then it’s off injecting their opinion about something else

All this worry about Nebraska winning the NIT is going to be comical if they flame out against Butler on Wednesday.

 

[Thurston from Pender]

Butler wins. Excellent defense by their guards. Butler coach is also very good.

But yet we’re seeded higher and picked to win.

But yet we’re seeded higher and picked to win. 

And playing at home, where we've usually played pretty well.

So was John Bridges.

You get laughs for my joke?  I guess I’m the set up guy.  Ed McMahon had a hell of a run.

This is so weak I hate to share it but......heard from buddy that heard from a relative of Hoiberg that he is not interested in the Nebraska job. Take it for what it’s worth. I believe my buddy but you never know the motives of a relative who claims to know such things.

So, should we stop building the statue?

This is kind of funny because I wasn’t going to post, but I was told by a media guy all his connections say it’s a done deal.
