Hoiberg N

Iowa hiring Ben McCollum while NU gets a 7th year of a coach that has one tourney appearance and terrible overall record. Never should have built pinnacle to put this product in it.
Good thing rebuilds and turnarounds take 5+ years amirite
 
Iowa was already ahead of NU and fired there coach. There hire just made the gap even bigger. But oh well Hoibergs grandpa coached once upon a time.
I am told every day on this board that it’s unfair to expect results from a new coach until at least Year 3

Seems to me Iowa just set their program back until at the earliest 2028

I get what you are implying. But this is about Hoiberg and going on year 7. Nothing about Rhule going into year 3
 
hoiberg has already promised to do his best

I don't know what more we can ask for from a P4 head coach
Fred also excels at making some fans feel like he's their buddy.

Denver media reporting that Minnesota is prepared to throw an unbelievable, crazy-go-nuts amount of money at Niko Medved to become the Gophers' head coach. Might even reach $3 million per year!

Hardly anyone was attending Clarkeye games was the biggest reason why they didn’t retain him plus missing the NCAA for the second straight year.

Hoiberg has over 18M buy out and the vault is still filling up with attendance.

Dennen at least going to give Freddy one more year that we have to bare with.

I get why he gets at least one more year. Just frustrating the vault packs the place but nothing ever changes. I know I’m beating a dead horse. But it was incredibly frustrating watching some of the teams in the tourney over the weekend. And knowing NU completely fell apart.

did not fill out a bracket but i trust it will be duke and houston in the final4. on the other side auburn/txt. shutting out the sec is my hope.
 
We Husker fans sure like to tear down coaches. I do think Fred needs to bring in better players. The 3 "Bigs" he brought in this year; Berke, Morgan and Meah all had severe limitations. Meah was a wasted addition. I've seen better players at our local CC. Ulis was a non-factor. I thought Rollie and Connor had their moments but obviously could have been more consistent. This team was too dependent on Brice and Gary.

Adding McCollum and Medved makes this conference even tougher. I hope Fred has a plan to get more talent here next year.

Isn’t that on the coach??
 
Indiana’s new coach should be an upgrade?? I think they will improve.

Yes, I think all three programs upgraded their coaches....but I think DeVries is probably the worst fit of the three. He's never coached at a big-time program with really high expectations. I'm not sure how well he will do at a blue-blood program.
