Just increasing the buy out for the school.

One more win, and I think Opal Fleener is going to say we should vote again!

I agree. I'm in no way trying to suggest that anyone who wants Miles fired is low character and I'm really not directing this to anyone on this board.1  But I've seen other comments on other boards where people aren't satisfied simply going a different direction; I'm seeing (and have been seeing for some time now) people just being mean-spirited about their wish to have Miles fired and humiliated on his way out the door, as though he deliberately failed here, thereby causing our fans some sort of personal harm.  Those people can't give Miles credit for what he has done, and one of those things is he's still fighting to get as many more Ws for the kids and the fans as he can before he's gone.  That says a lot for him no matter whether he should be let go or retained.  And I'm not expressing an opinion on that one way or the other.

 

1  With one or two minor exceptions.

 

I can't upvote this enough, Norm.  For far too many it has become 'Personal'.  It seems like a lot of posters (on other boards I've seen) have painted themselves so far into corners that they can't or won't retreat because it would cause them too much loss of pride.

 

Speaking of other boards, here's a quote I saw:

We better hurry up and fire Miles now before he wins another game.

Oregon just extended Altman through 2026. Any pipe dream of him coming here can officially die.

Dana Despisers Rejoice!

To much of my surprise, Altman really hasn't been discussed on here for the past 3-4 weeks.

 

But this may mean that he was in contact with other schools (maybe us?) and Oregon wanted to keep him around. These coaching extension announcements don't usually happen this quickly.

He probably met with Moos today.

I just hope the next coach, whoever it is, works as hard through adversity as Tim Miles does.

 

The writing has been on the wall for awhile.  It would have been easy to just cash in his chips and phone it in the last few games of the season.

 

Thomas Allen is out with injury; Nana Akenten chooses to repeatedly violate team rules and you're forced to suspend him; you're down half a dozen players across the season and now you're down to 8 players available, including just three of the original starters and three other guys who weren't even rotation guys.

 

And yet he's still arguing with the refs in the Iowa game and doing whatever they can to gameplan for Rutgers.

 

We might get smoked by Maryland today, but it won't be because Miles and the staff quit on the team or on the season.

 

He has a lot more character than a lot of the guys who are calling for his head.

 

I upvoted this post, even though I'm on the opposite side of the "should we retain Tim Miles" debate. 

 

He has been pure class the entire time he's been here -- great spokesperson for the program, no scandals, kids are graduating, etc.  It says a lot about him and every member of his staff that they are still working as hard now as they were in November.

 

Ultimately, coaches are judged by wins and losses.  He's been a .500 coach throughout his time here, and 7 seasons is a pretty large sample size.  We know what to expect from a Tim Miles team.  But even though I long for greener pastures and hope that the next coach will be our version of Coach K, I still have the utmost respect for Tim Miles as a person.  He absolutely runs a program with integrity and leads by example. 

 

I will always root for him.........unless he gets a job at Creighton with his pal McDermott, in which case screw that f****er!

Example of why this is the best board out there

In other news around the country, Pat Chambers was retained for another year, and Ernie Kent was fired.

Oh ,no!!!  I hope Moos' handlers keep both the liquor and the fact that Kent was fired away from him.

Definitely interesting timing, for sure. I wouldn’t think he would want to talk to many other schools besides us.

So you're saying there'd be no buyout. Sweet.

As many have said, the timing of Altman's extension was very strange.  You don't rush to do this in the middle of a conference tournament unless their are extenuating factors.  They certainly could have been working on this during the season but why not wait a day to announce this after they get bounced from the Pac 12 tournament?  Usually, where there is smoke, there is fire.

Your agent being good at his job is a factor

I've read all 61 pages of this thread - I swear - and this is the winning post.

Welp, I think we can take Turgeon off the list too. Altman (who I never wanted anyway) is out. Ernie Kent now available. Pat Chambers will be at Penn State until he completes his twenty year plan. I think our options are narrowing into two choices now: 1. Extend Miles contract four years or 2. Hire someone who can demonstrably do better. Unless Hoiberg, Self, or Pitino walks through the door, take hard tumbles, and pop back up still smiling,  I will opt for door # 1 and see what Green,Roby,etc. can do next year. Just wanted to get this down before today's game regardless of the outcome.

Now to figure out who on here is the agent or if the agent has a mole planted here. Heck who knows maybe Dana is a member and they got tired of reading 60+ pages about it?

This and as we all know, many of these contracts have a clause or two saying things like if school X offers I am taking job with no penalty to me because it's my dream job.

If it's option #1, then that extension has to be more than 1-2 years.

[jimmykc]

Four is more than one or two. Either jump into the pool or get off the diving board.

Not to be morbid but seems like they would wait until the day after whenever our loss occurs to fire Miles if that is the course of action.

 

Can't fire a guy if you're not around

[Dead Dog Alley]

This is only the fifth time in school history that a consecutive two year win total has hit 40. Only once has it gone over 40 (1991,1992). I’m just throwing that stat out there.

[reddan]

It's very telling that the Moose isn't around.  I'm hearing the decision has been made for a change. Take it for what you want but pretty good source but he's also given me really off the wall stuff in the past. He is sure about this.
