Hoiberg to Huskers

[Cycloneracer]

Channel 3 in Omaha just reported deal with Fred is “firm and final” with Fuskers.

 

[IASTATE07]

Technically he is from a college coaching perspective. I’m not “butt hurt” but it seems like a real slap in the face. Guy takes money grab to the Bulls and then goes to Lincoln to coach BASKETBALL.

My feelings aren't hurt, but my feelings are hurt.

Well 2 NCAA appearances and 1 win and hell be the winningest... so the bar is set pretty high

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

What else would he coach?

Maybe not take a third tier college basketball coaching deal?

You know this is going to actually happen. This has the markings of a classic CF thread:

1- Poster comes out of nowhere with a crazy idea.

2- Idea is corroborated but not linked by other posters.

3- Details start to line up.

4- It happens.

The salary numbers floating around match up. From the posts in this thread, it sounds like he has an offer at the minimum.

Fortunately or unfortunately, almost every thread like this ends up to be true.

Who the heck actually knows. I feel like people are just making stuff up at this point.

We have a lot of influence then even I want to give us credit for apparently

If its true, good for Fred, but no matter it really has nothing to do with ISU. Do we currently have an opening, no. So then let it go.

I see a lot of Squawk fans saying how this is a slap in the face to ISU, sorry, its not. Fred did not leave ISU for Nebraska, that would be a slap in the face, but to the NBA, collected 25 million to coach, got fired and is now looking for another job.
We do not play Nebraska, and I really doubt we recruit many of the same kids. If Fred is happy and until it hurts ISU, I could care less what he does.

 

[NorthCyd]

It’s not an ethical issue.

 

[rochclone]

We will see how you feel when he starts beating us out for key recruits

According to most people Fred was a terrible recruiter of high school talent and will fail at Nebraska. In addition we have a better coach. If all of those things are true then why is everyone so bitter.

 

[Jammin’]

I totally wish him well and in a kind voice I say:

BRING IT ON FREDDY BROSEVELT

I’m sure other college coaches are already telling recruits about how Fred will transfer up and take a better job in two years.

But seriously, He brought Hilton back and to that I say Thanks and good luck at Nebraska!

 

[cyfanatic13]

Anyone ******** that Fred left us for Nebraska needs to have their head checked. That's not at all what happened. If the guy wants to coach is he seriously supposed to sit at home and do nothing just to please us? You guys have the craziest expectations.

Dude, you dont belong on this site if you dont get why Cyclone fans are upset about Fred freekin Hoiberg coaching the ******* Huskers. Liking or disliking Prohm has nothing to do with it.

Is this even English? What the **** is he trying to say there?

 

[Cat Stevens]

Hey kid, you could go to Iowa State, a school with a little bit of tradition, most likely NCAA tournament appearances, possible Big 12 tournament title runs, a lot of time spent in the top 25, fans that adore you and sell out Hilton all the time or you could go to Lincoln, NE and have none of that.

Fred has a Rolodex with the number of every gm in the league in it, remember?

Kids want to play where they think they have the best chance to play professionally. Fred is a lot more glamorous than Steve Prohm, even though Prohm has done miracles getting Nader are Burton contracts.

He is confirming Hoiberg to Nebraska.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

I think he’s confirming he had a stroke mid tweet.

Have you already created your username for husker sites? You have, haven’t you?

How are you related to Fred? You never answered

And your projection is almost as ridiculous as the other prohm hater swarthy.

Are you a Fred fan or an Iowa State fan? In principle, being both isn’t much of an option. It’s not about Fred. It’s about Iowa State. And Nebraska. And desiring that Nebraska to not hinder ISU’s success in even the slightest regard. In that sense, nothing’s changed.

Pissed at Fred? No.
Hoping he fails so that Nebraska continues to be mediocre? Yes.
Viewing him more as a Tim Floyd than The Mayor? Yes.

It means Nebraska won tonight and therefore they can’t announce it now.
