Oh man Fred is really keeping his name out there Nebby not as done and dusted as they wanted to believe. I bet he ends up with an NBA gig after stringing along Nebby until the summer.
Hoiberg to Huskers

Would also rather Hoiberg at Bama. I don't want competence in Lincoln.
I'm over what it means in regards to Fred and ISU. I don't think he'd hesitate to coach in Iowa City or Lawrence if the money were right. I just don't want a historically terrible program 3 hours away getting decent.

Interesting tidbit ... Fred's grandfather once coached in Lincoln. Might explain some of the allure.

I have avoided this thread since about page one or so. I would say that Fred is probably having his agent play Nebraska to get a better deal out of someone else. My BIL who has decent connections to twin cities sports, keeps talking about Hoiberg and the Twolves still chatting about head coach. Remember when fred went to the bulls, he talked to about 3-4 other teams and seemed to be able to drive up his price for the bulls. Probably what is happening with Nebraska.
And he was offered a football scholarship at Nebraska???
If you simply want to look at connections, Fred had far more connections to Ames, IA than to Lincoln, NE. I think the main allure is cash money, bro. Don't get me wrong, I wish Fred well (so long as he mostly doesn't poach our recruits), but the business about where he was born and where his grandpa coached is naught but a dog and pony show.
And loved going to BigRed football games as a kid?
But he never played basketball with Nerlens Noel.
write the ******* story Randy!
At this point, I'm not even sure Nerlens Noel is a real person.
Quite the circle of life on that list:
Andy Kennedy coached at an SEC school, Cincinnati, and played at UAB.
Mick Cronin played at and currently coaches at Cincinnati. Coached at Murray State before Prohm, and was an assistant at Louisville for Pitino.
Rick Pitino obviously coached at an SEC school and Louisville.
Mike Davis played at Alabama and coached at UAB.
Fred Hoiberg played at coached at ISU, played against one of Rick Pitino's NBA teams. Last game coached against UAB at ISU.
Can't come up with a Gregg connection yet.
He has a representative (his lawyer) but you're right he doesn't have an agent.
