I added that just as a little extra flavor to the joke. Like cilantro on your tacos. Or bourbon in your morning bowl of cornflakes.
Wat? I meant Fred should stay in the NBA if it was such a dream. Him coming back to college just leaves a bad taste.
Honestly, Fred should take a high profile assistant job in the NBA, and then try and come back as a head coach again later. Honestly I don't think he was ready for the NBA coach-wise but kind of regrouping as a high profile assistant might allow him to come back in another handful of years as a coach.

I meant that @BryceC should quit posting on that linked OSU board. He's convincing himself they're more dangerous than they are, and trying to hard to ingratiate himself to them.

He puts more thought into any one of his posts than I've put into all of mine combined.
Cilantro on your tacos? Are you a communist?
Fred can probably get another head coaching job in the nba if he wants it. The nba goes through coaches like pubescent teenage me went through socks.
I'm talking about the fancy stuff at the restaurants. I'm not going into debt to make them at home.
Right now? I don't know. His last 1.5 seasons in the NBA were pretty bad - a .302 win percentage. Not sure which teams would take him after that. He had better talent in his first 2 seasons, but still couldn't really produce well enough.
Fred's maternal grandfather was Jerry Bush. He was NUs coach from 54-63 and had a record of 83-132. Fred spent a lot of time in Lincoln as a kid visiting his mothers family. Nu fans in Omaha have been speculating about getting Fred for several weeks. Not out of the realm of possibility. Remember that everyone thought ISU was a coaching graveyard for football before CMC arrived. Would be strange that both Creighton and NU's coaches were both former ISU coaches.
Just my thoughts
It probably was difficult for the Hoiberg family to be in Ames. Not a lot of privacy. High expectations. Everybody knew your family and business
In a places like Chicago or Minneapolis much easier to be anonymous
Lincoln = Ames. Not the places to be if you want to be private

I have no idea how the deal went down, but weather he was ready or not didn't matter with the Bulls. The new coach was worse than Fred, yet they gave him an extension. Fred was a fall guy for the head office of the Bulls. I personally think he has a great basketball mind and is a good coach. He just doesn't have any clue how to choose friends. Gat-Pax used him as an excuse to continue to be ****** and rake in Chicago money. The entire Bulls organization is doing all they can to keep people coming to games while spending as little as possible. It's cheaper to pay off coaching contracts than it is to actually go get real talent in the NBA.
I can see him at kNU if TJ is the coach and Fred goes as an assistant-mentor like Fred had at ISU at the start.
Fred has 2.3 million reasons to fish off the dock of his Minnesota cabin, golf, and drive Carol to get her coffee every morning.
I'm not saying he wouldn't take another college or NBA job, but he isn't going to just take the first thing that comes along, which is what Nebraska would be. I believed him when he complained about recruiting and baby sitting college players. Going back to college now is admitting he's an NBA failure after getting shafted by the Bull's front office. I don't think his stock is that low.
If I'm Fred, I'm waiting to see what NBA opportunities are out there come June, maybe do a little TV work if he gets bored, and only consider college jobs that are the UCLA type.
