New assistant - Armon Gates

[Huskerpapa]

I did visit with someone at Saturday's graduation who said this was a done deal.  Due to a couple hiccups there is a delay.  Hopefully those hiccups will soon be eradicated.

I assume this will be about a new coach.  Hopefully not about someone leaving the program.

The Gates to Armon Nebrasketball will be opened.

Press conferences are for good news and disasters. Press releases are for bad news and minutia.

If I had to guess at the holdup, it would be about the contract length

[Navin R. Johnson]

Gates said he called Northwestern coach Chris Collins to get his blessing to move to another Big Ten school. "He signed off on it," Gates said, noting Collins thinks very highly of Nebraska. #Huskers

Because, of course, length matters.

New assistant coach @coachagates says #Nebrasketball’s ties with @BrewsterHoops will remain stronger than ever: “Coach Smitty, he’s going to continue to feed us. Brewster, we’re going strong over here in Huskerland right now, but we’re looking to add a couple more pieces too."

[Huskerpapa]

Welcome to N Coach....now, please work some magic on our behalf!

The best time to negotiate length of contract and salary are prior to taking a job....

I am pleased by this hire

He is Armon, hear him roar. Well, we can finally shut this thread down. I believe beverages are in order.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I’m very excited about this hire. Appears to be an excellent addition!

  I'm a little surprised there isn't more discussion here regarding the hire of Armon Gates following the announcement (particularly since there were six pages of drama leading up to the hire).  Good Hire?  Bad Hire?  Coaches skill set, responsibilities (following the departure of Kenya), Recruiting acumen, Longevity (i.e. only a 2-yr contract), etc?  You know, all the good stuff!

 

Isn't anyone else all that interested; or is it just the off-season and we're waiting for news about who is returning and likely signees?
