HB Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Johnson, Smith and Harriman all gone. Very bleak scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 He got a raise and a title of Associate Head Coach. Really, New Mexico can provide more coin than Nebraska, really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Johnson? Went to Minnesota to be closer to home and coach under Petino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhusker Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well IF this happens, that staff that arrived in Lincoln with Miles is a thing of that past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Interesting timing. I would guess Miles knew this was coming and they agreed to hold off until getting McVeigh inked. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerbaseball13 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Does McVeigh ask to get out of his LOI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortDust Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Oh yea Ben Johnson.. I remember now. Losing assistant coaches to gigs that have a better chance at becoming a head coach or leaving to be a head coach seems viable. I'm thinking he looks to hire someone with west coast ties and an offensive mind. Sucks to see him go, but we have to wait and see what he brings in.

ajb5856 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 He got a raise and a title of Associate Head Coach. Really, New Mexico can provide more coin than Nebraska, really? This sucks. But after having about 30 minutes to digest, this has to be more about opportunity than money, right? Nebraska can obviously match and exceed any offer out there but Harriman obviously sees some career benefit to doing this. And that's what it's all about. This is what college coaching is. Coaches work their way up the ladder. They move at calculated, opportune times to get in position to have their chance. Harriman will be a head coach. He'll only be at New Mexico a season or two. It's somebody else's turn for a chance at assistant now. We will see. I don't see this as telling for Miles at all in terms of his career here. We've had several move in and out for Miles at Nebraska so far. He'll find another good one. I'll give out a Norm exercise here. When thinking of the assistants Miles has currently, and to make yourself feel better about them...just think about who Doc had. hhcmatt, Dead Dog Alley and ShortDust 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Chris is a great guy and got us in the door in Australia. He is a very valuable asset and eventually was going to leave...it was just a matter of when. He'll be missed. However, if Miles thought anything was missing from his staff last year, now is his chance to find someone to fill that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'll give out a Norm exercise here. When thinking of the assistants Miles has currently, and to make yourself feel better about them...just think about who Doc had. At least Mathews and Benford left for major programs (UCLA and Marquette). Losing Harriman to a mid-major school, after all the support his family has received here, is a bit troubling. You have to wonder if he and Miles had some differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wonder if he and Miles had some differences. He's getting more money, will be the defacto #2, and New Mexico has a good basketball program. If his goal is to become a HC, does staying here seem like the right move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan88 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Tough break. Reality, however, is that Coach Harriman was MIA much of last season because of his son's health. Hard to know how everything played out on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if Miles thought anything was missing from his staff last year, now is his chance to find someone to fill that role. Wonder which direction Miles & Co. will head to finding the replacement on the staff... recruiting & offensive execution would seem to be high on the list for assets of this hire. And, FWIW, Chris Harriman will be a head coach sooner or later. It's usually best to gather a wealth of knowledge in a variety of situations.

Huskerpapa Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have had a few minutes to digest this...and I am still pi**ed. Can I understand the move...sure. But it doesn't make me feel any better. It simply feels as if this year (continuing into the off season) has been one negative after another. I am attempting to keep my rose colored glasses on, but it is tough. It seems to me that every staff needs an experienced X & O assistant and two assistants that can recruit ones butt off and can teach positions. My hope is that we can bring in a top notch (and I mean top notch) recruiter. We need jimmy's and joe's. Let's see if we can start making lemonaide out of the lemons that seem to be popping up. I will also bring up the elephant in the room. That is Avery Harriman. It is my hope that Avery has finally beaten cancer. That young man (and his family) has been an inspiration to many!!! I hate to see Coach Harriman and his family leave, and despite my angst, I certainly wish them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkamler Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Pains me to say it but New Mexico has had and still has a much better BB program than NU. Don't know about the money being paid to Harriman. Silverbacked1 and jaimes2000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
