Hoiberg to Huskers

[ClonesTwenty1]

This would be nuts

 

[UnCytely]

no competition in state? Creighton? and there really isn’t much in state talent for basketball in Nebraska to begin with.

Plus, Nebraska-Omaha is Division 1 now. They would have had the fortune of playing Duke in their first game if they had managed to win their Summit League tournament.

I heard CMC was the front-runner for Ohio State too. Probably from the same sources.

The only "problem" with this is when he takes recruits we will be after. That will certainly happen but everything else is fine by me. Going to KU would be the worst but we don't play Nebby so all good with me.

It should be pretty easy to out-recruit Hoiberg. I mean, we saw it first hand. He hates it. He's on record stating he hates it. And other schools can push the "How long will he be there?" card, just like what happened to us before and is happening to us now in football.

It's almost like leaving for the Bulls was giant mistake...

 

[FinalFourCy]

Surely he'll use it as a stepping stone, right?

It'll be interesting to see what the buyout is. Perhaps getting run over by mid-level NBA guys has soured him on the NBA.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

But I will say, those who don’t want Fred to get another college coaching job likely secretly want him as our head coach still.

 

[Stewo]

Good for him...or not. Hard to really care all that much. Steve's killing it here.

 

[el tornado]

I will always love Fred but I will always hate Nebraska. Fred won't change that for me.




But he's so dreamy damnt

 

[ClonesFTW]

Honestly at this point just get it over with so we can finally put an end to the faux hope on this board.

 

[Halincandenza]

I won't actually believe this until I see it. So many better jobs he could get. And rumors are just rumors.

Most Husker football fans are either Creighton or Kansas/K-state basketball fans. Sad but true

When I lived in CB, IOWA most Husker football fans were Creighton basketball fans, Husker basketball was so bad it wasn't even worth turning on the radio to KFAB.....LOL never had to worry about Nebbie being on TV, they werent good enough to be on the old black and white tube.....they went from being the laughingstock of the Big 8/12 to being the laughingstock of the B1G...LLLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

I'd love to make that kind of multi million dollar mistake.

 

[Halincandenza]

Hines is giddy with this possibility. He can't stop tweeting about it.

But with zero job security as we all saw

He's already shopping for houses in Omaha. Same street as Carol.

 

[Halincandenza]

Agent says he would 'entertain' an offer from Nebraska but unclear if he would take it. per Zagoria.

 

[Halincandenza]

He's already shopping for houses in Omaha. Same street as Carol.

Just like Saban was shopping for houses in Austin?

 

[alarson]

I’d like it if he came back. Because it’d prove that I was right. I take a lot of **** be here for saying that he’ll coach in college again.

And go back to when he left, no one was saying he’d coach in college again. Everyone was talking about dream jobs and how it wasn’t about money. And now you’re saying it is about the money.

Him going back to college doesnt contradict with it being his dream to coach in the NBA. Sometimes a dream isnt all its cracked up to be. Even if not, if the door is open to another college coaching position and it isnt for another NBA HC position yet, the sure thing is better than a maybe if he really wants to be out there doing something rather than sitting around waiting.

The "job security" was the fully guaranteed $25M.
