By this I mean, I have to think that after this season is over, influential people at Nebraska are going to ask what took Hoiberg so long at Nebraska when Otzelberger could turn Iowa State around in less than one season.

Iowa State has a legacy of winning basketball. A better comparison to Nebraska basketball is old Iowa State football and the time it took Campbell to build a program.
One other thing is we keep running with the cupboard was bare story. He had Christopherson (one of our best shooters) Garrett (made the NBA for a bit), and Ejim (one of our best all around players we have had) off the top of my head.Not sure why I'm even responding to this, but I doubt any real influential people are evaluating their coach based on our 1 season. They're basing it on the 3 or 4 years of progress/success of their own team. Not sure where you intend to go with this, but Hoiberg except for the first year when the cupboard was bare, got great results w/a group of various transfers/role players/style of play etc. here as well. Besides, there was 'the magic' in our history before Hoiberg at least in the background. Don't think NU has ever had that. NU could care less how they compare to someone here. They would care how they compare to the other big10 schools.
He did as far as culture went.One other thing is we keep running with the cupboard was bare story. He had Christopherson (one of our best shooters) Garrett (made the NBA for a bit), and Ejim (one of our best all around players we have had) off the top of my head.
Fred did not have the mess TJ had.
And with basketball, you can flip that pretty quick compared to most sports.He did as far as culture went.

This is probably not a popular opinion but when I look back on the talent that Hoiberg and Prohm had, they completely underachieved. I know people love Fred for elevating the program but some of those teams had 5 NBA guys on it and couldn’t get past the Sweet 16.
