[TourneyBound]

Anyone heard anything about Connie Yori being let go??? Heard some possible rumors but it's probably just that!!!

[Actualfacts1]

They'd be foolish to let her go!

Yes, I can say a few of us here have heard them too. And as far as anyone knows they're just that, rumors.

[B1GN]

Although I'm not a fan of everything she does,wasn't she the coach of the year 2 years ago when we won the conf tournament? Plus, the national COY a few years ago when we went through the B12 undefeated?

That being said,it SEEMS as if some previous assistants were relied upon for their recruiting abilities.Recruiting is the life-blood of any college program and we have had a revolving door recently with some top asst coaches.This can't help in recruiting-neither will this "rumor".

[redsteve]

It would seem a "tough" year has the rumor mill going. If "tough" years were to continue then anything is possible. Her track record is very good, so it would take a team walk out, or some sort of catastrophe to happen. But next year will the program probably right itself ?

 

Lots of times rumors start with some other schools recruiting tactics. On the other hand coaches do burn themselves out. It's a very demanding position.

 

As stated.... sometimes Yori does some head scratcher stuff, but most coaches do...the human factor. Don't believe that's much of a factor.

 

There's always the AD factor. He's kind of unpredictable.

 

Recruiting is an issue ? Not that we don't get good players, rather Yori's role. Is it an issue? We do seem to rely on assistants to be the primary recruiters. Shimmy was about as good as it gets.

The rumors aren't directly basketball related.  They have nothing to do with this year's record;  Any discussion of a coaching change based on on the court performance would be absurd.  Basketball-wise there is a long history of extraordinary success for this program.  We have the freshman player of the year in the league and a highly ranked incoming class.  There is nothing there basketball wise to discuss.  If the record we had this year (nearly 20 wins and a .500 record in the league; not exactly a disaster) after losing 4 senior starters and then half the team to injury has people calling it a tough year creating a rumor mill, our fan base has become spoiled beyond belief.  I don't know whether any rumors flying around are true, but I assure you if something happens it will have nothing to do with the past season, on the court performance in games, or recruiting.  

[whoopdeedoo]

wasn't there a "closed door" meeting with the A.D. just a week or two ago? add that with a few things that have happened the past couple of years and i guess i could see how something like that might have jumped out---for rumor starters, that's like a match just waiting to be lit    . having said that, i would really be surprised if she was let go. i believe the only reason she would leave at this time would be related to personal matters.

So you are saying it is personal and off court issues.

Yes, closed-door meeting with the Regents and the AD.  There was a Journal-Star article on the subject.  Apparently, the University President Hank Bounds wanted to do an assessment of the athletic department and they brought in an outside firm to look into the "leadership environment" within the department.  They surveyed current and former employees and asked them to be candid about things like what the leadership environment is like and what could be done to improve it.

 

If I was Shawn Eichorst, I might be a little nervous.  Never good when your new boss thinks he needs to invite former employees to comment on your leadership style.  Harvey Perlman did something similar before Steve Pederson was fired.  Just sayin.

Connie is an excellent coach.  I certainly hope these are unfounded rumors!

[huskerchode]

Well, if any of this does turn out to be true, I hope Amy Williams gets strong consideration.

I have heard, again rumors only like all of them, that it has to do, to some extent anyway, with the way Yori treated her players, especially during practice.  It is my understanding that at least someone in administration was at many practices this year to observe.  Why?  who really knows but, if true, adds intrigue to all of this.  May have to do with Yori's divorce of her husband, and/or other personal things, but that in and of itself would not/should not have been a major factor.  IF these rumors have legs, I would say it must have something to do more with treatment of players and staff than anything outside (unless something outside was of the illegal nature which I truly doubt).  Dirk may be able, but probably shouldn't, shed some light of this rumor.

[whoopdeedoo]

you are correct BirdsOnTheBat, re: Dirk, when you state "but probably shouldn't".

So which it, is it a basketball issue or as HB state's a non basketball issue. Or maybe none of us outsiders know what the hell is going  on, which would be the more likely scenario.

I think it could be some of both but that would be me acting like I really know something which I do not.  We all know how these "rumors" get started and seem to take on a life of their own.  There may be nothing to see hear on any front but some things just seem to persist in staying out there.  Is it someone, or someone(s), who are simply trying to stir things up  in this?  Possibly but.....  You have to think, maybe not believe but at least think, that someone in administration has heard the rumors going around and that if there were nothing to the rumors they might have, in their own way, said/done something to dismiss them but, again, I really know nothing, just what I keep hearing.  Do those I hear this from really have any true knowledge of the situation?  I can only say their info is usually correct in most, not all but most, things inside the AD so, with that, take it for what it's worth (which may not be a plugged nickle).

Okay let's take  as this, I checked with someone who has some inside knowledge and they haven't heard a thing about Yori. So as you say which may not be worth a plug nickel.

[redsteve]

If someone came in from the administration, sometimes the "evaluation" can be a real good thing. If any of the rumored issues mentioned by Bird, have any legs, then clearing the air can be a huge help....to everyone involved. 

 

With Yori's excellent track record, and many years with NU, no doubt she would be given every courtesy to clear/clean things up....or at least to simply discuss and refocus the program. Which is good  in any work/job experience.

 

Divorce can be devastating. It truly is, so all of the help NU can give, foremost...will help Connie and family.

 

I too, have a friend that has some knowledge of the going's on at least in men's football & Bball...see if he's aware of anything...at least of any significance.

good statement. imo, the one thing i seemed to notice was coach looked a little weary in her uni postgame interview. which would make sense considering all. tough deal----sad.

[Norm Peterson]

Let me just encapsulate a set of rumors from multiple sources:

 

There's an Eichorst problem.  (See LJS article linked above about University examining the "leadership culture" within the athletic department.)

 

Roughly half the Bd of Regents don't like Shawn Eichorst for various reasons but exacerbated by his firing of Bo Pelini.

 

There are some issues with Connie, but if a coaching change needs to be made (this might still be up in the air) the Regents don't want a short-timer of an AD hiring the next coach.

 

Eichorst can't be fired until we have a new Chancellor.  And they haven't picked one of those yet.

 

So, any rumors of Yori's job situation at least with regard to any involuntary separation of employment are going to probably be on the back burner until a new Chancellor is hired.

 

In other words, as long as Shawn Eichorst is AD -- and he will be at least until we have a new Chancellor -- Connie's job is probably secure-ish.

not trying to turn this into a "pelini" thread, but, in regards to his firing: at first, i was glad he was hired---and supported him and hoped he would "grow" into the position sooner rather than later. i understand coaches can get heated on the sideline, but, i thought a few times he crossed the line. then some other things started coming out and it kind of snowballed after that. things that were not good for nebraska. and that farewell speech to the players: that just validated my position that he had to go. glad he is gone.
