It seemed to passive the football fans by keeping the worst coach around - so why not…
Trev: Hoiberg Back Next Year
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
You don't think Fred restructuring his contract included the opportunity to coach the team next season? Fred and his lawyers are probably pretty dumb, huh?
I understand this decision is because of the huge buyout, but Trev comes off looking like a leader who is very ok with losing. Fred is worst D1 coach!
He’ll look like a genius next year when football and basketball get turned around.
He walked in to a mess. There are calls for Trev to be replaced...and that is unrealistic
You don’t think player evaluation is also a problem? You have guys on this roster who wouldn’t be legitimate Power 5 players if John Wooden and Chuck Daly coached them.
I don't get how you can understand this is about the buyout and also say Trev comes off looking like he's ok with losing. I understand this decision was about the buyout... period. Trev was completely handcuffed by his incompetent predecessor and that's all there is to it.
Absolutely...Trev was put in a tough spot by Moos. But someone signed off on those contracts besides Moos.
Then what exactly does a special assistant to the head coach do? Drive Fred to personal appearances and make sure his shoes are shined?
No real good options to choose from in this situation.
Gonna be one of the most interesting years in a long time in Lincoln…with both coaches of the flagship programs on notice.

Things would have been different if Trevor Lakes hadn't got hurt.
Seriously though, he's 6-49 in big ten play. It's unfathomable to be that bad.

If you are saying that the special asst to the head coach does evaluating of players etc to see who would fit in the program.....sure that is probably true. But Doc has only been in the position since the beginning of the year after Bobby left. Doc was not in that position when the last two groups of players were offered. Now, the two years prior to this year Doc was one of the asst coaches....and probably did have some input on who was offered.
My point is that people are blasting Doc....when they don't even know his role on the staff this year.
You’ve had plenty of opportunities to explain his role on the staff but keep coming up empty. Apparently he isn’t responsible for anything that’s wrong with the worst **** show in Power 5 basketball. And before you get your garments in an even bigger wad, I apologize for not being able to find a photo of the entire staff looking like they just witnessed a train wreck.
“Blasting” poor Doc. Good Lord.
So what is Hoiberg's "plan" that he sold Trev on? Is he going to change his style of play? Is he going to change his assistant coaches? Does he have some secret star recruits he's planning to sign?
I'm just curious what he could have told Trev that would convince him that he's suddenly going to start winning after 3 of the worst seasons in program history.
Frost could at least say that he was close to winning every game. Fred's getting blown out by even bottom-tier Big Ten teams like Northwestern and Maryland. We're not even close to being competitive in this league in basketball.

Will he return next year
I stand by my comment. I have seen numerous posts on social media saying doc needs to be fired as the asst coach in charge of the defense. Until this year, yes, he was an asst coach....and as with all the coaches .....the responsibility has to be someone's for the "**** show" that has been going on since Fred took over. But its crap that people are blasting Doc for the poor D....when they obviously aren't aware that his role changed this year....and he cant coach from the bench. Enough blame to go around......Fred, choosing to bring certain players in....and all the coaches for putting up with selfish play.
If I didn't need any more convincing, Trev is 100% the wrong man for the job. At least the death of Nebraska athletics was brought on by Nebraskans, we can take solace in that I guess.
He has done a terrible job, but what are you going to do with an 18.6 million dollar buyout. Because of the horrible contracts alberts inherited he is stuck for another year with these guys and has to hope for the best
In my opinion, they are approaching this similar to how other Big Ten teams do. Money first, Money second, and Money third.
There is no other game in town.. they can do what they want, so long as they keep the money flowing.
This is actually a fair observation. Either we need to see a drastic improvement in both football and basketball win totals, or a whole lotta "Smell ya laters" for the coached at the end of each respective "next season."
