How does he not deserve this? No one put a gun to his head and forced him into the choices he made that brought him here.

The cold dead look in Fred's eyes as the game was ending last night spoke volumes.
I have a hard time caring about them one way or another given that we might never play them again.
...Like if he stood there long enough that dog'd get up and run...
From Bruce's song "Reason to Believe" on the "Nebraska" album...it's a lonely place for Fred out in New Nebraskagolia.

Hate Nebraska football.
Actually respect the heck out of Nebraska basketball fans. Almost zero success and they've been 10th or 11th in the country in attendance the last 5 years. Great job by their fans.
I don't get why they supported the past few years more than the Danny Nee years when they actually were decent but just couldn't win a game in the dance.
Is there actually less to do in modern day Nebraska than there was in the early 90s?
All 47 points were off of inbound plays though. Perfect inbounds plays, things of coaching genius.
Didn't they build a new arena recently?
Nothing wrong with respect. When Memorial Stadium becomes the third largest "city" on game day it says it's important to them.
Don't **** Fred the ISU player.
Don't **** Fred the coach who revived ISU.
**** Fred the coach who bailed on ISU.
**** Fred the coach who returned to college basketball at Nebraska.

Lol this is great
I literally said that he signed up for it. More of saying that I’m in limbo here. I still like Fred and it would take him publicly saying “**** Iowa State University” for me to change my mind. On the other hand, he didn’t deserve what happened to him in Chicago with that incompetent front office and the horrible roster moves they made that made them go from a playoff team to one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Just like the mass transfers we had.
Who thought Chicago was a good situation for him? Anyone who even remotely follows the NBA knew that was a awful a situation as he could possibly end up in. It was a total rebuild with a 100% change in coaching philosophy in a league with a revolving door of head coaches. Anyone who thought he would last his first contract was blinded by his dreaminess.
I understand your point, I just have a real hard time feeling any sympathy at all for Fred. He knew who was running the show in Chicago, and he was very well compensated for his time there. He also knew (or had the opportunity to know) what he was getting into in Lincoln, and is also being very well compensated for that.
It's hard for me to feel sorry for someone who walked out on a great situation only to find a lot of struggle.
More scarlet and cream now.
No, and I didn’t allude to it being so. His shade of gray was a bad exit.
of course he deserved what happened in Chicago. He was so desperate to get out of Ames, he used a personal relationship with foreman to get the job.
no one else hired him. As you could see with how he handled jimmy butler, other gm’s knew better. He was hired to be a yes man to a fo that hated the previous coach for telling them to **** off.
