Miles and Minnesota

[HuskerCager]

It's just talk, but this is the first time I've seen Miles' name and the Gopher program linked in print:

They need to get the f away from our coach.

[HuskerCager]

No one has contacted him as far as we know.  But you want to have a guy in your program that other people want.

[Huskerpapa]

This is one reason I do not put validity in much of what you read and hear during a coaching search.  This ain't happening gopher fans...at least not for a few more years...perhaps many more years...perhaps NEVER!

[hhcmatt]

She might as well put John Calipari and Shaq on the list while she is at it

[Silverbacked1]

I would hope that coach Miles would not leave this early or to another school in our conference.

 

But weirder things have happened.

[HuskerCager]

Why he wouldn't leave:
- Having to uproot his family 2 times in 2 years
- Better facilities at NU

- Does the Minnesota A.D. know what he is doing up there??

Why he would leave:
- Superior H.S. talent within 100 miles of the Twin Cities
- Historically, much easier to win in Minneapolis than Lincoln

In the end, I think this is a job he would have taken a year ago, but I don't think he would now.

I'm not at all worried about Miles leaving (for Minnesota) at this point. I just don't see that as enough of a career advancement for him to look at it. Now if UCLA came calling that might be different but they're not.

 

It IS kind of nice, though, to have a coach that is well enough thought of (after just one season here where his team wasn't in the Dance, BTW) that others seem to want him. I'd LOVE for him to do so well at NU that in a few years others come knocking.

The FGCU coach took the USC job, so scratch another name off the Gophers' prospective list...

[Huskerpapa]

I somehow feel as if Coach Enfield will fit in will at Southern California...

Actually they have.  Just like they did last year when they decided to keep Tubby.   But hey...I don't know shit.

Why are you being so abrasive? If you have information you wish to share regarding Miles and Minnesota, please do so. Otherwise, his post was correct, as far as he knew, they had not been in contact.

If you know something to the contrary, feel free to let us know. But this cryptic "I know something and I'm going to tell you I know something but not share any of the information" act doesn't serve any purpose.

Apparently she must read the Gopher Hole message boards.  They have been writing about Miles for a few days now.

So Miles chose Nebraska over Minnesota?

No 2buck is stating that Miles would have jumped at the chance to go to Minnesota last year but they kept Tubby.

I'm sure Minnesota has rounded up all the usual suspects.

It's not too big of a stretch of the imagination to thing that Minnesota has been Miles dream job for years and that he will never coach there.  Timing is everything.  It's the reason that Dana Altman didn't end up as the coach of Nebraska.

[TheGov21]

Just a hunch, but I think they'll eventually hire Flip Saunders.  It seems like Saunders wants the job and they may end up giving it to him after the coaches they have targeted have all turned them down.

[Silverbacked1]

Or he might go and then 2buck could really give it to us.

[colhusker]

Or he might go and then 2buck could really give it to us.

Would that mean he does in fact know shit then?

[Silverbacked1]

Well I don't know, but it would allow him to tell us the biggest "I told you so." know to anybody on these pages.

If Miles was thinking about leaving... and had an offer to, why would he be out recruiting still??

[TheGov21]

You go out and keep recuiting if things fall through.  Heck there were a few college football coaches who were at dinner with recruits when they agreed to a new school.

 

 

Personally I don't see Miles leaving.  He had to know that the Minnesota job would be opening soon and decided to go to Nebraska anyways. 

[Silverbacked1]

To lull us to sleep so that when they trot him out as the new choach it will be a total shock of epic proportions.

Maybe it's just posturing but numerous outlets reported that Saunders turned them down about two days ago.

Yeah, but do you know his sister?
