It's like buying a vehicle you cannot currently afford.
We've already had plenty of threads about that
It's like buying a vehicle you cannot currently afford.
Never said that, said we are not getting him now with the buyout. I truly think there was some truth to the Hines story. I see no way Fred and Pollard get along.The Fusker buyout is not the reason Freddy will never coach again at Iowa State. Hoiberg wanting to coach at schools like Minnesota and Nebraska, rather than his alma mater, is.
And especially one that has damages.I agree we need to dream big, but you cannot tell me it is logical to pull Fred from Nebby when they have a buyout like they do. It's like buying a vehicle you cannot currently afford.
Bobby Petrino minus the next brace problems or ex cheated but your still willing to take her back problems?And especially one that has damages.
Fred doesn't have the same cache as he did 5 years ago. He is damaged goods.
His luster is off due to the Bulls performance and firing. He is no longer the new shiny object that he was 5 years ago.Bobby Petrino minus the next brace problems or ex cheated but your still willing to take her back problems?
Agreed, I think he truly wants to be in the Midwest. Plus, as much as I hate Nebby, Fred is sitting on a what could be a sleeping giant. He has new facilities, money, and a fan base that is one of the most passionate in college athletics. At least I would think fans would show up if he turns it around.His luster is off due to the Bulls performance and firing. He is no longer the new shiny object that he was 5 years ago.
That he landed at Nebraska (vs UCLA, another NBA team, etc) is all you need to know.

Defeatist attitudes like this confuse me. We need to dream big as a program. We need bold leadership and we shouldn’t settle for a lesser basketball program to save a few bucks. We shouldn’t be too intimidated by Nebraska of all programs.
OK. My point is that the Nebby buyout is a non-factor as Hoiberg has signaled that he does not want to be here.
Agree with you on the Hines story. I always thought there was something to it even though it was severely panned on CF.
Has that chance with Alabama at the end of last season. I got mocked on here for encouraging that to happen.....
The premise of the story had some merit. But "nearly double digit sources" is still laughable.That story was always right. It’s just that a bunch of fans wouldn’t accept it.
Sorry, Steve.And at that time you absolutely deserved to be mocked. Just because you may be correct in the current moment does not mean that you were correct last season.

Man, I wish people would stop with the Hoiberg stuff. First, it wasn’t that great. Yes, he turned us around but he literally had a lineup of 5 NBA players and didn’t do much with them. And don’t give me the “Niang’s injury bullsh*t.” We had plenty of head-scratching losses with him. Fred’s ceiling at ISU isn’t much higher than Steve’s.
Second, Fred wanted out. That should tell you all you need to know. Time to let it go.

I don’t think anyone doubted there was friction between Pollard and Hoiberg. It was that Hines couldn’t find a real story to spill the gossip. Instead he attached it to a non-story and supported it with “near double digit sources”. It was a hack job.
