Miles & Staff

[TourneyBound]

Wasn't sure where to put this, but how about the job Miles and his staff are doing recruiting!!!  I mean for a guy whom is supposedly on the hot seat he has really done an incredible job this last 4-5 months recruiting for 2019 and beyond..  I hope Moos awards him and gives him the extension he deserves!!  No doubt his recruiting seems to continue to improve and he has established a niche with transfers coming here and being successful that can continue to help us down the road.  I really like what his staff is doing also and just hope we can keep them on board, but sooner or later I believe Lewis is going to get a head coaching job.  I'm hopeful we can all have the season that Miles and all the Nebrasketball fans deserve this year and Miles can get his extension and shut up all the doubters..  #GBR

Although it's about recruiting, makes more sense on the Hardwood

The story is kind of relevant to this thread.

Need to get coach Lewis a bump in pay ASAP

[ShortDust]

Need to get Moos a new thought process.. the Big Ten Geek story explains exactly how I feel and I expect Miles to win this year and bolt.

[HuskerFever]

Greaaaaat. The season hasn't even started and we've got our first "Fire Miles" thread. Right on schedu......oh wait. This isn't one? Well isn't that a nice change of pace!

Appreciate the support, but Miles isn't "supposedly" on the hot seat.   He is absolutely unequivocally sitting right on it.  Moos has made that absolutely clear, including some unfortunate recent comments shortly before the fall signing period.  Folks can debate whether he should be on it, but he's on it.    And if the team succeeds sufficiently to take him off of it, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a big extended middle finger right back.  Wouldn't blame him at all.

This is the perspective of someone who watches and writes about Big 10 basketball, not some "homer"

I have a very real fear that we will be talking about "Nebraska Head Basketball Coach Ernie Kent" in about 8 months time...

If this is the case I’ll be the first one out with the pitchfork to get Moos fired!

[Huskerpapa]

I hope we win, and win big.  I have faith that this is THE destination job for Coach Miles, but I will cross that bridge when/if necessary.  I doubt I have any control of that situation.

Halloween 5 days early!

I'd be shocked if Miles voluntarily leaves.

Is that because you think he’ll get fired?

[dustystehl]

What other Power Six school would see Tim Miles as an upgrade from their current coach*? I don't think there is a single Big Ten team that would trade their coach straight up for Miles. So I don't think he leaves Nebraska unless he is fired. He has said multiple times (including within the past 7 months) that he loves Nebraska and wants to be here.

 

*Comparing current resumes. (Miles is 4-13 in road and neutral site games in the month of March as Nebraska's head coach; 3-13 at Colorado State.)

Lots of Minnesota fans love Tim Miles.  I think they'd legit trade Richie P for Tim.

 

I think Washington State would see Miles as a pretty massive improvement over Ernie Kent.

 

So there's a couple right there.

There's a bigger world out there than the Big Ten, and one of the Top 100 schools out there would be glad to have him.

If this season is gonna be like Major League, well then I guess there's only one thing left to do

Not necessarily.   If we choke and don’t dance, the yes, he’ll be fired.   But if we make the dance, he’ll get his extension.   

I dont see him leaving.   He makes a lot of money here.   It’s close to home.   A successful year here shows he’s building something.    Don’t think he’s going to bail on that unless there is a very impressive offer.    And think it’s going to take more than one good year to get those types of offers to come calling

Should we be forced to hire a coach for whatever reason and we hire Ernie Kent, I’m done with NU basketball.

If Kansas St came open, he would get a strong look there. Gene knows how good of a coach Tim is and would provide the support a coach deserves

Goodness, I cannot wait until the season starts.

At first I was getting a little concerned about this especially because Moos has not exactly been the most supportive especially after Eichorst who was looking to fire him ASAP. But I do think his family could be a pretty good reason to stay they've done a lot of moving before getting here and probably wouldn't mind staying after being here for 8 years.
