Didn’t they go there with Tubby Smith too?
I think Tubby got them back his last year before Beard took over.

It's about time you stop living with your overweight and ugly sister.
I’ll give you credit that you guessed accurately that a guy who has two choices of leagues to coach in might come back and coach in the one he didn’t get fired in.
Northwestern has tougher academic requirements so their pool of recruits is smaller. Any dope can get into Nebraska.
Oh come on. I deserve more credit than that. I’ve been predicting this for years. Since CW was spewing the “hates recruiting” and he’ll retire young and he’ll be in some front office.
Another point...is Dan Gable associated with ISU or Iowa? Are ISU fans salty he coached there?
He wont get any of these jobs. His momentum is stalled right now.Why doesn't he wait on somewhere like maybe Texas or LSU to open up? Hell maybe even Arizona could open up. Or Kansas if the Self to the Bulls rumors are true.
Weren’t most of your predictions that he’d coach at Kansas?
Details, details....
I did predict that. I also thought he’d end up in the big 10. My prediction was Michigan state though.
That’s attractive to a lot of those in that pool though. Meanwhile Nebraska has some football success from before the recruits were born.Northwestern has tougher academic requirements so their pool of recruits is smaller. Any dope can get into Nebraska.
Partial credit.
Coaches are hired guns--no more and no less. Their only loyalty is to whoever signs their checks.
Lon Kruger and I had classes together at K-State. Kruger was both a great player and coach. His jersey hangs in the rafters of the Octagon. He now coaches at Oklahoma. I neither hate nor love that fact. I do not wish him well nor ill will except when the Sooners are playing the Cats. Lon was hired to do a job in Norman. He owes it to his employer to do his best. I would be disappointed if he did anything less.
Why should ISU fans feel any differently about Fred Hoiberg? The fairy tale is in your heads and not Fred's. When you peel away all the emotions, basketball is just a business. It is also a lot more fun with the emotions.
The funny thing is it has been far better for Isu not to hve Neb, mo, and co. We have thrived those schools not so much.B1G difference, Oklahoma didn't abandon the Big 12 and their fans hope and pray for the demise of the Big 12. So, not a fairy tale.
Oh its pretty obvious its always been about the Benjamins.Sounds like he has 28,000,001 reasons to take the job. (Didn't read whole thread, so sorry if someone else was first stating this)
