Hoiberg to Huskers

[RoseClone]

I get that Fred was born there but man why in earth would you want to coach there?
The possible openings of Texas, UCLA, Arizona, Syracuse, Arkansas, Minnesota, both Michigan coaches are climbing in age, Duke and UNC are climbing in age, are all way better jobs.

Hoiball would be less of an event than a Greg McDermott team in the same State for crying out loud.

This would be dumber than his last move and that's saying something.

Hah, wishful thinking is cute sometimes. There is no ******* way Fred is going to Nebraska.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

If Fred coaches in college again, it’ll be somewhere he won’t have to work that hard to recruit to.

Lincoln, Nebraska is not one of those places.

 

[KCClone1]

I think he hated recruiting because everyone was cheating except him. With the FBI probe maybe he thinks it will be easier.

Fred does tend to follow history. Coached ISU and left ISU in a similar position as Orr did with the senior class he left behind, jumped to the Bulls like Floyd, and now maybe coach Nebraska like his grandpa. However, I don't see this one happening.

It's obvious he's going to UTEP next.

Hahahahahaha.

FWIW I was listening to the Scoop podast with Doogie Wolfson in and he heard that Fred did have some feelers out to Nebby recruits to see their interest in playing for the Huskers. Doesn't mean Fred will go there but covering his bases if he did.

I don't buy it myself, unless NU gives him a huge contract. He could be getting a big offer from Nebby to use to raise other offers for better jobs too.
I think he does want to coach but first preference would be to stay in the NBA but would consider college. Recruiting is the sticky point getting top talent to Nebraska is harder than Ames. I also expect there will be better college jobs opening (like UCLA) which would be easier to get kids.

In the end, I'll root for Fred to succeed if he does come back to college where ever he ends up, other than if they play ISU. Having him at Neb would be better than in the Big 12.

He'll take over for Self. Get the nut cups ready

This is a time I wish this place had a middle finger emoji

 

[KnappShack]

Campbell is about the only coach on the planet that I care about.

Matt Campbell staying at ISU is the only worry I have.

The rest is just the wheel spinning

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Fred will coach at Michigan State next. You heard it here First.

 

[CycloneErik]

He can do better than that. Nebraska is a coaching graveyard. For basketball and now football.

Just a graveyard in general, really.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I always felt UCLA is the job he would get. I know he hates recruiting, but not that hard to recruit there and have a really big recruiting base.

 

[JaCyn]

What if self goes to the bulls? Is Kansas a possibility? It is definitely easy to recruit to kansas.

 

[dirtyninety]

Somebody do some research and find out what Fred's Great Granddaddy's dream was.

 

[CoKane]

Fred will coach at Michigan State next. You heard it here First.

Oh man, this would be next level great for triggering the Iowa fans

 

[mynameisjonas]

If he goes to Nebraska that's a slap in the face for him leaving ISU. But I don't really care that much. Honestly, where ever he can go that will reduce the raging hard on that some fans on this site have for him, works for me.

 

[dirtyninety]

Lawrence Philips has no eligibility left to play for Fred there, does he?

 

[Cyched]

I always felt UCLA is the job he would get. I know he hates recruiting, but not that hard to recruit there and have a really big recruiting base.

Then he could go from babysitting Royce in Ames to enlisting Trump to get his players out of a Chinese prison. Living the dream.

 

[Al_4_State]

I’d legitimately despise him if he took that job.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Nebraska people are so delusional. They should be going after Tyron Lue.
