And people were pissed

when Miles said, "if they fire me, I'll still be a millionaire."

 

[schuele]

I was not a Miles fan AT ALL, but he got a bad rap on that quote. He basically said it’s the DII and JUCO coaches whose families suffer when they got fired, while he would be fine. Poor choice of words perhaps, but taken out of context.

Just think, even IF we fire Fred, he'll still be able to say he's a 20x millionaire.... He's already got over 9 million in assets.

ADs excel at giving away other peoples’ money, and Bill Moos was at the head of the class in that department.

What did he say to his hairdresser ?

I'm wondering where all the people are now who were screaming for us to "open up the checkbook" to hire Frost and an unknown basketball coach at the time?

My head exploded when Frost got a contract extension. I absolutely screamed bloody murder. Guess who told me over and over again how wrong I was?

The beautiful thing is that does not drive these guys.

Hoiberg was paid in the top 1% of 1% of the US population when he was in Ames. He was in his hometown, coaching at his alma mater, was nicknamed “the mayor”and loved by everybody, had brought the Cyclones back to playing in tournament games, both he and his wife’s families lived there and were near their grandchildren, and gave that all up to scratch the itch of coaching in the pros.

These guys have egos and they want to be the next Mike Krzyzewski/Roy Williams or Nick Saban/Urban Meyer. The two dipsh*ts we have leading the two highest money making sports at Nebraska get to bask in the glory that their influence has taken Nebraska to depths rarely ever seen in the 100+ year existence at Nebraska. They are miserable and under immense stress - and they both deserve the hell they currently live in.

Hard to believe anybody could be this miserable.

And whichever numbskull signed off on it from the ivory tower should be given his walking papers. Unfortunately we aren’t surrounded by very bright administrators.

Who cares

Clearly money can’t buy dignity or a sack

fred is a nutless muppet & no amount of money will rekindle even a fraction the 100% of respect he’s lost himself via his teams’ performance

Miles was bad. Fred is worse. Hopefully after next year we'll hire a good coach

 

[Redscarlet]

Hoieberg is a good coach, he just has recruited a good enough roster besides the McGowens and Walker ..

Walker needs help down low and Mayem isn’t that player..

Good coaches have winning seasons more than 50% of the time - Fred has 6 such seasons in 12 years coaching, and none since 2015

He is an empty shirt with what used to be a desirable name

 

[Redscarlet]

My point is Hoieberg better coach than Miles despite his crap record..

Need more Jimmy‘s and Joe’s and he hasn’t brought them in..

I strongly disagree. Tim Miles would coach circles around Hoiberg with all else equal.

Since you are determined to play the Where are All Those People Now? game, here's an interesting thread that was posted right after Bill Moos played Santa Claus at the Frost household to the tune of an extra $10 million.

But, but.... a blogger said he was on the hot seat!

we lost to the 6th place team in the summit league this year

[nwualum_rivals330058]

Tim Miles was a really good coach— when he had Craig Smith as his assistant running the offense. When he left, Tim couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag. Funny guy though.

 

[TheHuskerFreak]

The frost extension was so incredibly stupid. He obviously hadnt earned it yet, but it wasnt like he was gonna leave. Bill moos was such an awful ad.

He was a Washington State AD before. What did anyone ever expect? Remind me when WA State was good at any sport. Never really understood this hire.

They’re the same ones that said to open the checkbook for Held and that Verdorko was a QB Whisperer. They’re still here waiting for the shirtless workout videos of their war daddies to start posting.

Did you also forget Miles' losses to Gardner-Webb, Samford, and Kent State?

Fred is terrible, but Miles was a clown who tried distracting from his mediocre coaching abilities with goofy tweets, and bush-league stunts like locking players out of the locker room. I am glad he's gone and back at the mid-major level where he belongs.

I do not disagree both are beyond bad

I just think Hoiberg's particular flavor of terrible is worse than Miles' was

he did hire the Pirate who got WA St ranked before bolting....​

nice find. Now excuse me while I go wipe the egg off my face for excusing the extension when it happened. I was all in on Frost and still am to some degree. I haven't given up on him still but I am resigned the fact that he needs to win or he'll be gone. I have no great love for Scott Frost but I'm tired of the coaching turmoil that has been ours over the past 20 years. Clearly our AD, the BOR, Ronnie Green and the boosters of substance are in a similar position as mine.

You could see instantly when Miles got ejected from the tournament against Baylor and Smith took over. We should have hired Smith but everybody always wants a big name.

Fred has a huge salary and is breaking records for sucking.

Smith was gone to South Dakota before we fired Miles. I'm not sure if he was considered when we hired Fred or not. Smith was at USD for 4 years I think, then 3 at Utah State and now is at Utah. They've only got 7 or 8 wins so he might be available again soon....

It's Smith's first year at Utah and their best players transferred out when Krystowiak got fired, so nobody was going to win there in 2022. He'll get at least a couple more years.

You're still all N on Frost? Ha! I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean, but it is funny.

Which coach is the first to have a 20 loss season? Which is the first to have it 3 years in a row?

Mic drop.

In other words, after Smith was gone, Miles looked a lot like FH.

I’d take any of Miles teams in a heartbeat over what Fred has put on the court while he’s been in Lincoln. My 9th grade city team was more disciplined and, I’m quite sure, better coached.

 

[rrthusker]

We can debate Miles vs Fast Freddy all day long. Bottom line is it really doesn’t matter because both failed to get us to a tournament game. Neither is worth a damn in big boy basketball.

Timmy got a 1st round bye in the Big10 tourney one year.

Doesn't matter. We stink. Worst basketball program in all of the P5 world.
