How many games until Fred is fired?

[salsa red]

We hoped to see Frost turn it around but it was more of the same. I hope to see Fred do the same but it's hard to imagine. I say he goes 5 games until he is no longer employed and enjoys a large buy out retirement.

BBall is different because you can "get hot" and make a run...

I hate Fred’s style of play, get some bangers on the boards and play hard D. Run an actual offense that doesn’t have lollygaggers staring as the shot goes up. I doubt trev wants to deal with it until after football is settled. Probably makes it all season then gets axed.

Is there an assistant head coach on staff?

Yeah, so the Big Ten is changing a bit...

PU and RU might have the only true "bangers" at the C position. I think all(most) the coaches realized that to get a long Dance in March...you need long armed athletes...

Fair point, but god damn we always play weak

Frost has given Fred some job security for a couple years now. In basketball, there doesn't seem to be the same timeline that pushes AD's to fire coaches early. So I think Fred gets the whole year and if the team has a better record than last year, plays with real effort and actually plays like a team, I bet Fred gets another season.

Some of these guys just look miserable on the sidelines...can't imagine they'd want to be here anymore anyway.

As soon as the buyout makes sense, Fred will be fired. His first three years at Nebraska are the worst 3 year stretch in program history

Fred cant be gone fast enough for me.

And that's saying something!

He got some surprisingly decent transfers. They need to start hot and get some non conference wins. I am hoping he can get to .500 this season. He's got a really good Big man in Blaise Keita and Derrick Walker is coming back along with CJ Wilcher. Got a transfer from Alabama that should be decent. I wouldnt be surprised to see Fred stick around or fired tbh.

Yeah I don't see the rush to fire him. Are Nebraska boosters really going to pay 8 figures to fire a basketball coach? Unless there is zero improvement from last year, he'll stay.

Hmmm "long armed athletes"... For basketball... Hmmm.... I think you may be on to something! I say we give it a shot.

Hell, boosters apparently threw in $7+ million just for Trev to not have to deal with the agony of an extra couple weeks. Otherwise, how wasteful are these multimillionaire boosters? At some point, that well is going to run dry. Am I right?
