#2. Nebraska (Fred Hoiberg)– It was no secret the Cornhuskers would pursue the Lincoln native after he was fired by the Bulls, but the idea he’d actually accept the job was met with skepticism. But Hoiberg chose to return to Lincoln, potentially over better jobs in both college and the NBA. The Nebraska job is a polarizing one– amazing facilities and fan support and the ability to sell football, but no real tradition and a tough area to recruit in. Hoiberg had to build a roster from scratch after taking over and did so with a hodge-podge of transfers, JUCO players, and freshmen, and we’ll see if he can rekindle some of the magic he had rolling at Iowa State in Lincoln.
