Could Otz be the end of Hoiberg's coaching career?

Mcdoormat had tighter reigns on the program than Fred or Prohm ever did. TJ brought in a lot of good talent during that period too.
"Instead the Huskers stood at 6-10 entering Tuesday. They hadn’t won a Big Ten game or beaten a power-conference opponent. Last month NU suffered 30-point losses in consecutive games for the first time in school history."
Unannounced contract extension adds millions to Fred Hoiberg's buyout
A contract extension Fred Hoiberg received in 2020 that wasn't announced by the university will now have an impact on how much the Husker basketball coach would be owed ifomaha.com
This article should be required reading to truly appreciate the absurdity of what is going on over at UNL. $3.5mil annual salary - and an *extension* - for those results?!? Not to mention the buyout?
Man, that athletics dept. just loves to carry an obscene liability on their books by paying former coaches. Just unreal - you can't make this stuff up.
Yeah Fred may have class and smarts - but he sure doesn't demand effort. Either too scared to, or doesn't think it's necessary.
The Rutgers game (28 pt, Neb loss) was startling - one team going all out, especially in defense and rebounding, and the other apparently deciding it's not worth it...
Might actually help them attract talented coaches in the future. Who wouldn’t want that kind of golden parachute?
Agree, plus Lickliter is a bad comparison anyway. Butler had success before Lick and after Stevens. Before the big East move, it was a place that had two decades of near consistent success since Barry Collier built it.
Oh, and Barry left for Nebraska two years before Lick took over Butler, and was eventually fired without a winning season. Nebraska isn’t for everyone, whereas Iowa St MBB had a lot to do with Hoiberg’s success, as expected given he was the Mayor
Let's be fair - that year Niang went down with the Jones' fracture, we probably would have gone on a long run if that didn't happen. Otherwise, yeah, we kind of underachieved.
Who was the forward that ISU has that was lefty? Huge guy, but played guard. Was roasting Purdue getting to the hoop in the tourney, then in crunch time decided to pull up and take a step back clank. 
Just another reminded of how cut throat the damn NCAA tourney is.
Is he still in the NBA?

Whoa - nothing like under Brad Stevens. And their program now is down with LaVall Jordan. Got beat by 40 today by Nova.

Knowing Nebraska's talk radio scene, (I'm looking at you Doug and Daddy) I wouldn't be surprised if that was a talking point.
It’s as though they joined the Big East.
That's the part that kills me. Nebraska wasn't that bad under Miles. I'm pretty sure they made the tournament under him.
I watched a pretty big chunk of the Nebraska-Purdue game on Friday night and it wasn't even close. It's against the rules around here, but frankly last year's Iowa State team had better effort than the Nebraska team did.
Hampton @ Boise in 2001 was the last game on *Thursday* Night.
That was AWFUL!

The common denominator between the success of the two is.... TJ.
For whatever reason, Fred isn't getting the most out of his players. A coach might have a great basketball mind. A lot of coaches in the industry have high praise for Prohm's, including Beard. But having a high BB IQ doesn't mean squat if the players won't put out maximum effort for them. ISU went 2-22 last year because they'd already given up on Prohm. There was more than enough talent on that team to win far more games than it did.

Thursday.
I had class the next day.
It had snowed the night before and it was cold, windy, and gray to fit perfectly.

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad!
At least it was the last game of the night and @ Boise!
