Who gives a fk what you think as no one else does and never will, and in the grand scheme of things not looking too good for ya OP. Just a thought, go post on subjects yore qualified to post in and leave round ball alone as you are most definitely not qualified.
In 2018, Fred was 4 years removed from his last winning record
You also wanted to play a D2 team instead of playing in Norman due to COVID
Not a D2 team. I wanted to bring in an extra 8-10 million to NU and avoid a guaranteed Liss by playing OU. Much the same as my acceptance that Fred gets another year it was economics. Your rant is based on emotion and not rational financial decisions. Hmmm who else do we know that does that?
While forfeiting double that when OU came to Lincoln - very smart economics from our resident phd!
We wouldn’t forfeit twice that for an OU visit. You need to do some more research on revenue generation for home games. That slot would have been filled with another team that would have reduced the amount of lost TV revenue. Find another 2 year old topic to whine about.
We hosted FOX’s gameday show that day. Doesn’t happen for just any old opponent. The city was ablaze for days prior. You wanted to take food out of local business owners’ kids’ mouths so the university could save face and make a cheap buck
All of that has no bearing on whether you bring back Hoiberg for year 5 given his historic failure
So you want to retain a coach who given the talent to accomplish the above can’t even coach that level of talent to an NIT bid?
Not sure if you heard but Fred had one good month (out of 48) and we must be prudent because [reasons]
Sure, let's keep the worst coach in Nebraska basketball history around a few more years. I'm sure that would make you happy, right?
At least Tim Miles qualified for post season play 4 out of his 7 seasons here.
I am more than fine if Trev wants to get rid of Fred, also fine if he wants to keep him another year. His record is abysmal. But he also had 4 big injuries this year with McPherson, Gary, Bandoumel, and Keita and strung together a good month to get the team to .500. I'm more concerned about NIL than who is holding the whistle. Until Nebraska gets that up to snuff .500 is going to be the best we can hope for.
You mean instead of a raise and an extension for Hoiberg? Hmmm, tough call. Or was that 3 years ago? Time flies when you're having... fun?
I am really starting to wonder if Power 6 is quickly going to away for the Power 2 the way it will for football. Starting July 1, 2024 B1G and SEC schools will be earning double to triple the amount of money that ACC, PAC 12, XII, and Big East schools will. That will spill over quickly into other sports as well. With schools like UNC, Duke, and Kansas making peanuts compared to the likes of Northwestern and Purdue. I really don't think the best coaches will want to coach for an Okie State or Arizona State when they can coach at a Wisconsin or a Nebraska for double the money, better facilities, and NIL access. I really think we are moving into a state of massive income inequality in college sports. Where the Power 2 conferences will get the best players and coaches and win more and more of the titles. If we let Fred go next year, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised who we can land.
coupling NIL with conference payouts is a mistake
This is exactly how I feel. We are right back to 9 wins next year. Make no mistake, I enjoyed watching this year as much as anyone else. But we can’t seriously be thinking he’s even on the road to build a middle of the pack B1G team.
Not surprised after the "hot seat" talk following five 20 win seasons and a tourney appearance every year except this one.
Have they been good since Durant was there? I stopped watching XII basketball 10 years ago.
They ****ed up in chasing off Rick Barnes...
they've won the big 12 tourney and have been a 2-seed in two out of the last 3 years
this is silly talk. texas will take the interim off coach terry. his team could very well make the final four.
Yep. That's pretty much how I recall this board sounding in early December 🤔
