Do you miss me yet guys? He's 7-8 right now with San Jose St. They were 14-16 last year and fired their head coach.

If he could have stayed off finishing in the bottom 4 in the conference except for 2 of his years he would still be here..

Tom's hires as AD are certainly looking better with time now aren't they? I still am not sorry we fired Bo. He crapped the bed with the fans. I'm not sure what to think about Miles. I was over him when we fired him. Now I guess I realize that he maybe got about all he could out of the guys he was able to recruit to NU. He might be a better coach than I thought but he's probably not a good enough recruiter. I thought Fred was a home run hire. Sigh.​

Actually, San Jose State is 7-15. They've lost 10 in a row and are 0-10 in the Mountain West. So no, I'm not exactly longing for Tim Miles.

Not that anyone expected a big turnaround at SJSU. That job is almost as much of a coaching graveyard as Nebraska.

 

[schuele]

As long as we're yearning for coaches who are winless in conference play, maybe NU could lure Patrick Ewing away from Georgetown?

He's currently neck-and-neck with Hoiberg and Miles, pitching a shutout in the Big East.

Tim was fortunate to have really good assistants. Guys on his staff are now head coaches at Utah, Colorado State, Minnesota. Not a bad coaching tree. Fred had good assistants. In a lot of ways they made his program. Current staff....not so much.

I feel sorry for anyone who wishes we still had Tim Miles.

Yeah, I wasn't implying that I wanted him back. Obviously SJSU story I pulled up wasn't current.

Miles deserved to go. He was given plenty of time. Hoiberg being a disaster doesnt change that

And the 2 good years he did have, he followed them up with 2 very disappointing seasons despite having the core of his team back both times. Miles was also pretty bad at developing/retaining high school recruits - with a few exceptions.

 

[Harry Caray]

Um he's 0-10 in the Mountain West Conference right now lol. He's getting blown out almost every game, CSU and Fresno beat him by 30+, UNLV beat him by 25.

As bad as Hoiberg is, I don't miss Miles' schtick at all. He was a clown.

That's what's so damn funny (maddening, frustrating, crazy, dumb, idiotic, etc) about football and basketball at Nebraska.... I don't miss or regret ANYONE that has been fired here. Would I take Miles back over Hoiberg? Yes. Do I want him back? No.

Do you guys think the current NU bball team is the worst team in the programs history? I don't remember them being this bad but I don't follow that much.

Fred was 6-2 at one point this season, plus an exhibition win over Colorado. Maybe he and Miles can share the nickname Mr. November.

I don't know about "ever" but in my scope of consciousness since the 80's I'd think they're solidly among the worst. I guess you always have to look at context but winless in conference is winless in conference.

And Bo pelini

Pelini was far above miles. It was time for him to go too but he at least had winning conference seasons every year
