And if we can have 2 great years with Doc and he leaves for a HC job, I think we are seen even more as a hot young team with young coaches and will have our pick of up and coming assistants that will bring even more.

Very happy with this hire. You can't train experience...and he's got it. Also, not worried about recruiting...he can go into a home and say, "I came to work for Fred...I worked for Bill Self, Fred will make your son great, etc." Also, I think that, having run a big 12 program, it may free Fred up to recruit more and know the operations of the program are moving along.
Plus, I hope he steals nice things from KU and brings them here.

I think he's still waititng for something.
I wonder if there was some clause in his Nebraska contract that made him wait until the end of May to sign with another team in a coaching position.
It was really nice of Kansas to keep him nearby ... and functionally become a spy for us.

Guys, the average tenure for a head coach isn't even 5 years...and that's buoyed by guys like Boeheim and Coach K who have been with their schools for decades (the median tenure is 3 years).
I have no idea what the average tenure is like for assistant coaches, but man, what the hell do you expect out of Sadler? This concern about him "only" staying for a year or two is ridiculous.

I think he is a great hire. I always hated when the Clones played Nebraska while he was coaching there. They where really good at stopping scoring, just not very good at scoring themselves. Just think what ISU's record would have been last year with just one more defensive stop last year???
Like it. Like others have said, bring him in, learn what he knows especially regarding defense, and have a good list of potential hires for when you expect him to leave in a couple years. Perhaps go for a bomb recruiter next time (hopefully one that can really mine MN).
Yeah, if they get that ONE stop at the end of a few games it's a whole different outcome.
Good hire. Defense should improve a lot. I think it says a lot that ex coaches are wanting to come here to be assistant coaches. Shows that Fred and isu is an up and coming program and that will give an assistant coach a better chance of landing another head coaching job somewhere imo
Well, duh...
You expect him to just believe some random "source"?? I'm sure once he gets JP's phone call he'll be on here to enjoy his crow.
