According to bleacher report... that would be huge

Have to imagine there is some mutual interest if it is getting "leaked" at this level in the media. Hoiberg would be huge get for us.
Hope people are wrong about him not liking recruiting if he is the choice..
I would be excited if he becomes the next HC. I'm a little surprised his name isn't associated with UCLA more especially if true he doesn't like to recruit. The bruins would seem to be a no brainier lots of local talent a program with a rich history. Seems like an easy place to recruit to fir a good head coach. Dunno maybe he just like the Midwest.
He is #1 on my list. If he comes here someone will still find him a bad hire. Never fails on this site!
This feels like Deja Vu of Bill Self in 2000 all over again. He'll ultimately turn us down, and we'll end up scrambling to hire another mid-major guy.

Hoiberg today would be an ever bigger get today than Self would have been in 2000, with him coming from Tulsa at that time.
Born in Lincoln, both parents NU grads, grandfather was NU basketball coach, lots of relatives still in the state. Apologies if you already knew that.
Calipari hates recruiting. He's the best there isNobody likes recruiting.
Here's what he said a few weeks ago when asked about his comments:
“Some of the things I liked about recruiting were building relationships with the kid and building relationships with the family,” Hoiberg said. “I liked that a lot. I felt like I was pretty good at it. We had some really high-level players here as transfers and also as four-year guys.
“It’s the most important thing you do as a college coach, I get that. If it is a college opportunity, I’ll go 100 percent at it and do the best job I can to build the program.
"It is a grind. You can talk to any college coach, and they’ll tell you the same thing. And if they tell you something different, they’re lying to you.”
He also has a niece that works as a student manager in the basketball office. It has to be pretty awkward for her today at work.
I agree it would be an even bigger hire. But Self was coming off an Elite 8 run at the time, he was the hottest up-and-coming coach out there.
My only bit of concern about any of this being true, is if you can get Fred Hoiberg, decline the NIT bid, and fire Miles and get it over with.
I'm sure it's possible that this is going on behind the scenes right now, but that makes me guess Moos had not made up his mind until recently. Had he made it up weeks ago, he could potentially be hired now.

When I was a teenager my sister got me the book "How To Pick Up Women" as a gag gift. Little did she know I didn't treat it as a gag and devoured it cover to cover. Lots of great tips, but what the author hammered on over and over and over is "set your sights high" and "you can't make the sales if you don't make the calls."This feels like Deja Vu of Bill Self in 2000 all over again. He'll ultimately turn us down, and we'll end up scrambling to hire another mid-major guy.
Well.....maybe not a rainbows and unicorns post, but certainly solid enough for #30K. Congrats.Hate to waste my 30,000 post on this, but why would Moos turn down the NIT ? Because it’s not ethical turning down a tournament regardless if it isn’t the NCAA just so he can fire the Head Coach..
He said when the season ends his evaluation will come to a close.. The season isn’t over now they have been invited and when Nebraska losses he will then move forward on letting Miles go..

What advantage does that gain? The players have the right to determine when their season ends, not the administration. Let them play it out and if they earn some glory and exposure, good for them and the university. Hiring now doesn’t fit what Moos has always maintained- end of the season. He would get crushed for going back on his word.
The status of this team's roster is reason enough to just end the season. I don't think it is fair to ask Palmer to risk his future when he has to play all 40 minutes for the team to have a chance. That guy played his ass off in the conference tournament. His future is more important.
My understanding has been that Moos would not be announcing anything until the season is over which would seem to be exactly what is happening. My guess is someone is already hired and that the announcement will happen shortly after Nebraska plays their last game and Miles is fired.
Something tells me that the players don’t feel he same way you do about it..

As I've said in other posts. The season is over.
Perhaps Moos is hoping Miles will take another job before he has to fire him?
He'd be a good fit at Washington State or Cal, the Pac-12 is much easier than the Big Ten.
