OT: Fred Hoiberg to Nebraska



Bill Moos is a cold blooded assasin. That’s how you hire a coach.
 
man that's a great hire for Nebraska. thought miles did a good enough job for being at a football school that didn't really care about basketball but it just goes to show you what crazy p5 money has done. all these mediocre basketball programs are firing moderately successful coaches.
 
Example Z of how simply being associated to anything P5 related all of a sudden gives the CBB world’s nobodies instant “pull”.

Ames is corn country too. That's the are where he had success before as player and coach.

As for people saying there are better jobs. Like what? It's a Big Ten school with a good fan base, lots of money and he knows the area. Where should he go? UCLA, where a house will cost him almost 20X what it would in Lincoln and taxes are much higher? I think he'd be a great fit there.

Hoiberg played and coached in the NBA. He's not some anonymous dude in middle management. I doubt that real estate prices in Lincoln are playing much of a role in his decision.

It's pretty well known that he hated recruiting. I'm surprised that he's back in college. I presume we'll see rosters stocked with 24 year old transfers and JUCOs.

Literally feel like a family member died today. Tim made it cool to like Nebraska basketball and is the reason I wanted to go into coaching.

He spent too much time changing the culture, not enough time changing the W-L record.
 
Rumor has it Dawkins to Vandy is all but a done deal. And Arkansas is targeting Sampson. Not good.

Houston is a different animal. They have Tilman Fertitta, the Houston Rockets owner, and Houston alum, as their main booster. He didn't donate 20 + million for their basketball center to have their coach leave. He will shell out the money to pay Sampson after the season like he did for their new football coach.

"New football coach" though. They did have one leave.

We'll see. They'll definitely try to keep him hard.

If you’re gonna steal McKewon’s line at least give him credit ;)

And then hired a sitting one from a Big 12 school. They’ll be fine.

UCF loses Dawkins though and I’ll be curious how that works out. Jury is still out on Huepel IMO

I would think it'll be really easy to keep him hard. That whole Houston area is fertile grounds for tang.

Vandy has had some basketball success in the past. Certainly more than UCF. And they're SEC.

He is perhaps consulting a doctor because his tenure has lasted more than 4 seasons.
 
three aac schools that made the tournament may be losing their coach or have lost their coach. pls someone make it 4/4.
 
Hoping Tim gets a new job in the AAC, maybe Tulane or Houston if they lose Sampson.

I can't wait till Cinci gets a new coach so you can enjoy that.

sure ... Fogler and Stallings.

I do think the UCF situation is not easy to leave for the standard SEC job. What does Dawkins need ... and ... he has proven to me that he can take that ORLANDO program to a higher level of Elite 8 or better. It ain't always about the money - Calhoun didn't go to South Carolina.
