Tim Miles to return
- Thread starter kaz36
- Start date
Eichorst-confirmed statement just a few minutes ago. Like it or hate it, Tim Miles is our coach next year. Best possible outcome is what happened for Rick Pitino & the Gophers.
eichorst was looking and couldn't get anyone good is the only explanation that doesnt lead me to think SE is an idiot.
Well...there should be no debate about what is expected next year....NCAA tournament or hit the road, MIles.

Like it or not, it's the exact same thing Osborne did.
Extensions all around!
5 years. 1 winning season, 1 postseason appearance, 1 top 10 finish in the B1G. 46% win percentage, 37% in conference. That kind of job performance warrants a 6th year?
But what if the team gets mentally tired, or physically tired, or nervous, or starts pressing, or the shots just aren't falling, or the other teams' shots are falling, or someone gets hurt, or someone falls down on an in-bounds play - then being in the conversation for the NIT should be enough, right?
At the very least, Cosgrolinari needs to be gone. All he's good for is bad 3 point defense and a side show on the sideline.

You forget who fired Callahan and Sadler..
Ohh wait you don't forget or forgive anything.
Let the inevitable transfers -- and excuses for next year -- begin.
I'm ok with it. I knew losing White would be a killer. Do or die next year!

3 years ago...almost to the day (March 14, 2014), NU was the 4th seed in the Big Ten tournament...considered by most to already be a lock for the dance and now playing for seeding. They had an 18 point 2nd half lead over Ohio State with about 13 minutes to go in the quarter-final. OSU began to make a run. They had cut the lead to 9 with 7:50 to go, but Walter Pitchford was about to regain momentum for NU with a thunderous dunk.
Instead, he missed the dunk. OSU scored a fast-break bucket to cut the lead to 7...on the way to erasing the full 18 point deficit and pulling of the stunning comeback. NU limped into the NCAA tournament - played embarrassingly bad in the game, complete with Tim Miles getting ejected. NU has crapped themselves in the 3 subsequent seasons...seemingly playing worse each year.
Tim Miles is still here.

Two huge things are missing for next year.
1) a good point guard that doesn't turn the ball over and can hit from the perimeter more frequently than Webster and leads the team in assists.
2) outside shooter that open it up inside to Morrow,Jordy and Jacobson and helps McVeigh so he doesn't have to force shots.

He did win at every level ( most AD take that into consideration when hiring a Mid Major)and only one year In Lincoln...
Let's see what your boy Eichorst does in his next endeavor in hiring a Basketball coach.

But remember that one time where our fans almost ran Osborne out of town? We need to give all of our coaches as much time as needed to become a champion.
The future is so bright SE will now be wearing shades.
The shades will be used to protect his eyes from the $hit show on the court next year.
I think most of us wonder why he waited until today to tell Miles he would be back (Miles said he didn't tell him until right before today's game). Why not tell him privately weeks ago? Eichorst did the same think with Pelini in 2013. He leaves everyone hanging and wondering whether the coach will return, and it leads to a lack of focus among the team.

That's on the coach. If your team is playing like shit, blaming the guy who would have to hire your replacement is lame as shit
Of course, these guys will need a couple of seasons to adjust to Big Ten basketball...thus buying Miles more time.
No mystery that I'm in support of this decision. We will find out definitively next season, but I'd rather give the guy the players he recruited into their junior season before pulling the plug.
Teams make huge jumps all of the time. No reason why it can't be Nebraska next year.
