And some don't give a rat's a** if he sinks or swims. Unless you know him, he is not that important. Just makes for good sports talk.
Hoiberg to Huskers

I am glad for what he did, but it always seemed like he wanted to coach anywhere but Ames, after the first few years.
Being in the Omaha area I’d say you are describing the 2%, the rest are delusional. I heard over and over again how they were going to win the Big 10 last year because they had Frost.
This is the part of the horror movie where I'm like...
-- Why don't you just turn some lights on?
-- Why do you keep splitting up?
-- Why don't you just get out of the house?
-- Why did you just leave the locked house?
-- Why don't you just call the police?
-- The iPhone sure ruins a lot of horror concepts from the 80s, eh?
Well Des Moines has to split the interstate as it goes through the city and has a freeway to the south and a 4 lane leaving to the west 3 miles from I 8, plus 2 other 2 lanes feeding into the metro from the east. How is that.
Maybe Fred wants to go where he can make money and win. The Big 10 has 3 good programs in it and Ohio State is up and down. So that means there are 10 other teams to beat up on, and Nebraska has the facilities and fan support to rise to the top of that mediocre conference while getting paid. The Michigan schools are as good as Duke, UNC, or Kansas so eventually he could challenge for some conference championships. It's still Nebraska though, and I don't know who would actually want to live there, but from a job perspective I get it.
They have won a few more games bc they got Lauri and Dunn back and then added Porter for the last 15 or so games but it isn’t do to superior coaching
Could be, but there’s also the issue of ISU not being open. Nebraska and Minnesota are the next closest in that sense. He brought ISU back, wanted to ultimately try the NBA gig, and now he wants his job to “just be a job” (with some personal connection).
The manner in which he left and the degree in which he allowed potential jobs to impact the work at ISU suggests there’s some truth to your assertion imo, but I don’t think he viewed ISU as “just another job” as much as his work/mission complete and it was time to give the NBA a try. That, and perhaps there’s some truth to JP not helping things.
Because his last effort was a colassal failure. He’s still young. He thinks he can win. His name gets him a huge contract
Kinda where I am but it's an unpopular opinion. We didn't test new success highs at ISU but the Bulls sure tested failure lows. Same as T-wolves.
Same with CSP but we're in the tourney and won our conference championship.
If he goes to Nebby, I'll be looking forward to him lighting up the hawks every year.
@Cat Stevens since you disagree. You don’t think adding two starters and another legit starter at the 3 has led to winning a couple more games than they did at the beginning of the year when they had a rookie starting and a couple gleague level guys starting? Do you even watch thr NBA? You don’t have players and you don’t win. Simple as that. Does Fred have faults? Yeah as a lot of coaches do. Not sure why you have such an obvious bias against the guy.
