I'll defend myself against any and all attacks.

It was a short jab at Moos, with plenty of substance prior that you chose to ignore for whatever reason. You've been down voted for offering absolutely nothing to the topic/discussion. And it'll continue with each worthless response of yours.

Ya, the timeline and following paragraphs were for squirts & giggles. Both of your responses tell me all I need to know about you and any "intelligent conversation"(s).

Recent events, seriously?! March 14, season ended. March 27, Moos announces Miles will be back. He also said contract will be discussed/finalized after Final 4. April 2, Final 4 ended. (11 days ago) April 9, Hunter announced as UCONN assistant. April 10, Xavier Johnson wavering from LOI. April 12, Miles & staff fly to meet with XJ & crew. April 13, XJ public knowledge of request, and granted, release from LOI. April 14 (2.5 hours), no public release of Miles' contract extension. How in the H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS do you (Moos) sit there with no public extension & allow your head coach to visit our prize recruit - who's wavering - without announcing the extension?!? Not only that, we're losing ground in the transfer market. You don't, he screwed this up from the beginning! No surprise, he doesn't have Osborne, Davison, parents, an alma mater, etc doing all the dirty work like he did last fall in to the early part of winter. There's strong talk Moos turned down Miles when he requested a 3-year contract for Hunter. But since that's not public info, or verified, who knows for certain. No worries, Moos is a farmer!!! He's one of us. Yippee.

Moos screwed up, big time. But hey, he's a farmer!

Kenya was always down there with the wings & bigs as well during pregame with Mo. After checking his bio, it says, "In his role, Hunter coaches the Husker wing players and also assists in player development and opponent scouting. He had previously worked with the Husker post players". +1

So did Hunter, as well as wings.

Same game he scouted, as the defensive coach, where we gave up 42% inside the arc, 48% from deep, 13 offensive rebounds and zero in-game defensive adjustments. "12 other coaches struggled" against Michigan's defense while not looking lost, minus aTm, against their offense like Nebraska did.

Nobody hears about the *defensive* scout when we lose; see St. John's (Kenya), Sparty (Kenya), Illinois (Kenya), Michigan part 2 (Kenya) as 4 examples off the top of my head. UM part 2 is a prime example of my previous comment regarding lack of in-game adjustment. He came with the exact same gameplan, and couldn't adjust in-game. That was brutal to watch. We had 1 "big win" this season, congrats on that (defensive) scout. Kenya is a loss for Nebraska, from a recruiting and player relations standpoint. Guys weren't hanging out at Lewis' or Molinari's crib, they spent their time at KH's without other coaches around much. Because of Kenya & what he means to them.

None of your (ridiculous) non-questions will be answered, due to the bold - which is furthest from the truth. P.S. One can attend practices without them being "open". Hilarious that you would even suggest such a thing. Yep, sour grapes, while saying he's a loss to Nebraska. Your swings & misses will allow you to hit in the 5-hole for Erstad.

It's an opinion from observations of watching practices throughout the years, listening to others, seeing his inability to adjust in-game (defensively, away from game plan) & lack of offensive creativity/ability. I have no issues with KH, he's definitely a loss to Nebraska, but all I see in Kenya Hunter is an assistant coach. And (IMO) there's nothing wrong with that.

Kenya can't coach, his best assets are recruiting & team/players relations.

Diane's position was eliminated, a few different people have taken on her previous responsibilities.

ESPN article from the AP LINCOLN, Neb. -- Coach Tim Miles will be back for a seventh season at Nebraska and talks about a contract extension will begin after NCAA basketball's Final Four, athletic director Bill Moos said Tuesday. Miles is 97-97 with one NCAA tournament appearance in six years. Moos, hired away from Washington State in October, said he liked what he saw this season as the Cornhuskers went 22-11 and finished tied with Final Four-bound Michigan for fourth place in the Big Ten. "I've always considered him my coach and felt he had a pretty solid year and deserved to continue and to build the program," Moos said of Miles in an interview with The Associated Press. The Huskers went into the 2017-18 campaign coming off three straight losing seasons and finishes of no higher than 11th in the Big Ten. Former athletic director Shawn Eichorst chose not to extend Miles' contract after each of the past two seasons. Miles has two years left on a contract that will pay him $2.375 million in 2018-19. "I really can't judge what he's done before I arrived," Moos said. "But I thought he did a real nice job this year. He brought in some talent and managed it very well. I really thought we improved during the course of the season, which is something I look for, especially when you have new players who are getting used to each other. "And hey, we won 22 games -- 13 in the Big Ten and finished in fourth place when we were predicted to finish near the bottom. I didn't see any reason not to continue the course." Nebraska beat Michigan by 20 points in Lincoln in January but lost by 19 to the Wolverines in the Big Ten tournament. The Huskers were 16-1 at home, with the only loss by 1 point to Kansas, which also is in the Final Four. The NCAA selection committee didn't deem the Huskers' résumé strong enough for an at-large bid. They instead went to the NIT and lost at Mississippi State in the first round. Nebraska is the only school from a power conference that has never won an NCAA tournament game, and the last time the Huskers claimed even a share of a regular-season conference title was in 1949-50. The Huskers opened a new practice facility in 2011 and new arena in 2013. "Really, all we're missing is the tradition, and you've got to start that at some time," Moos said. "Arizona wasn't Arizona before Lute Olson got there. Stanford wasn't Stanford before Mike Montgomery got there. So you've got to start somewhere. Usually, it's with stability, if someone is having success." Nebraska also announced Tuesday that guard James Palmer Jr. and forward Isaac Copeland Jr. will declare for the NBA draft but will not hire an agent, allowing them to maintain their college eligibility if they withdraw their names from consideration by May 30. Palmer was the Big Ten's fifth-leading scorer, at 17.2 points per game, and a second-team all-conference pick. Copeland averaged 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds.

Goodness, wasn't even thinking, thanks. Point remains, $4M+ is peanuts.

I can see that except, @hhcdimes posted the buyout is $700,000. I'd like to see the contract for more details but $700K is cheaper than his salary unless I'm missing something. Pelini is off the books a year from now anyways. I'm gonna hold off on further contract/extension discussion till it's public knowledge.

1 year (you) vs 3 year (me), so ya, we're disagreeing about 1 vs 3. Your 1 year extension takes him to a total of 3 years while my 3 year extension takes him to a total of 5 years. It's a 2 year difference, which is peanuts in the discussion. So, to get this even straighter, you're only offering a 1-year deal to buy yourself (Moos) time to find a replacement. It seems as though we're not going to change the others opinion, and I'm fine with that so no need to carry on regarding 1 (you) vs 3 (me). I'm thinking short and long term and I'm definitely not focused on one recruiting class. I'm more than confident Moos isn't a fan of Miles. An Athletic Director shouldn't need to buy himself another year to sort anything out. Moos has more momentum, on dang near all fronts, than any Athletic Director Nebraska has had not named Devaney, Byrne or Osborne. Why is it a terrible move? It's a 2-year difference & less than $1M in buyout money. We're not a thrift store athletic program that needs to cut corners. Moos isn't going to be here in 10 years, his concern should be of the immediate future (5 years and less). He can make a bad hire in basketball, all will be forgiven because of Frost, that's who he is tied to. I'm not sure you're even reading my responses, so I'll repeat what I've said - I prefer we moved on from Miles, but will accept he's returning.

3 year contract v 5 year contract, that's the actual disagreement you have. Correct? You can disagree however, your reasoning falls in line with what Bahe is saying we shouldn't be forced with. With a 1-year extension, we're back in the same discussion a year from now & recruiting has the same obstacles. We can't go on, year after year, with speculation. It does nobody any good whatsoever. Not Nebraska. Not Miles. Not the future players. Not a future coach. Nobody. The best course of action with Moos' comment, is to get behind the coach you just said is coming back and show him your full support. And that full support is a full contract, extended for a total of 5 years. (Reminder, I prefer we moved on from Miles, but will accept he's returning). Nebraska athletics revenue is around $120M with a "profit" of around $8M-$9M and I believe that is after the athletic department donates around $6M to UNL to cover a lot of the scholarships costs across all sports so our "profit" is actually higher. And this money doesn't include the full share from the B1G that we recently received as my previous numbers are based on prior to the full allotment from the B1G conference. At least I think they are, if inaccurate, point remains. Extending Miles 2 additional years for a total of 5 doesn't impact anything negatively with the Huskers. We're suppose to be a big boy athletic program, but act like a two-bit hooker after a crackdown on the Las Vegas strip.

Neither do I, they weren't brought up with the idea to assist Moos but to somewhat diminish his lord like status of hiring Frost. I've heard from many that Moos landed Frost so he'll land a top candidate in other sports. I don't share that opinion, as w/out major help - he's forced to hire someone else last December. If that is what it takes, why are you against it? We haven't had much luck with high school players finishing out, although it seems to be getting better. IMO, still TBD and can evaluate again in September. We've done very well with transfers, even JUCO's, heck without them I'd hate to see where our program is. He's done a good job of balancing it, and hopefully he continues down that path. Interested in reading your reasoning.

Here's what I find interesting between the 2 articles. Moos to Lee B on Monday “I’m not looking for a coach,’’ said Moos, who already has had two meetings with current Husker head man Tim Miles and plans more next week to eventually discuss a contract extension. Moos said he’s looking to set up another meeting after the Final Four." Moos to Robin W via Steve R on Tuesday "We're still working out some of the numbers and details." Miles discussed the 2 meetings with Moos, and didn't mention anything about a contract. But somehow, "we're still working out...." between the two? I don't buy it at all, and personally believe Moos has been caught. Nobody will call him on it though, because he landed Frost. Let's just hope, if Moos ever does decide to move on from Miles - Osborne, Davison, parents and an alma mater are involved because without them, Frost isn't in Lincoln & Moos is just another AD. On to the 2018-2019 season, I really hope Miles can land a grad transfer/juco that can make some type of impact right away. We need it, gotta get better!

That was me. I'm on the record of moving on from Miles, but believe Bahe hit the nail on the head with this tweet. Sorry, can't figure out how to embed.

None of what you responded with is what I asked about. @hhcdimes took care of the answer anyways.

Maybe, maybe not. IMO, he doesn't care if Miles finds something else while down in SA. Otherwise the extension would officially be agreed upon by both sides. Instead, supposedly, Miles isn't happy with what's been offered (1-year) & is trying to get more (3 years). Not sure why Lee B seems salty in his tweet, curious if he asked more (detailed) questions or left it as is.

Is that up-to-date? There was media speculation in 2015 that a new/updated contract was a possibility but I don't recall one ever made public. It's your article @swmckewon is there an update I've/we've missed?
