Coaches that you think should be on Nebraska's list, if this trend continues

Wake Forest is #72 in Kenpom, which is in the ballpark of where we were before we lost 40% of our starting lineup to season-ending injuries. Why would this guy be considered an improvement over what we have? Because his players don't get hurt?

As @basketballjones mentioned…wins. Forbes is gonna win more games in the past 2 seasons at Wake than Fred will in 4 seasons here. This many 20 loss seasons in a row would make any CBB fans long for wins.

Have you seen how craptacular the ACC is though?  It's just a whisker better than the Mountain West.  I think Fred could lead the Huskers to .500 in league play in the ACC.

I am aware of his record at East Tennessee, everyone is.  I think Fred could probably rack up 25 win seasons in the Southern Conference too.

Norm, Steve Forbes is a ridiculously good basketball coach and would instantly do everything that I feel you love about basketball coaches. I’m surprised you’re so dismissive about him. 
 

Forbes would immediately bring a real, true toughness edge we haven’t seen around here in a long time. He’d value dawgs over hype. Hoiberg has to pivot to valuing these things. Forbes lives by those things. 
 

He’d be a home run hire. I know you loved Miles - IMO, Forbes brings anything and everything Miles did… but with just a little more… I’m not sure what the word is… “gravitas” (?) to the toughness/dawg mentality persona.

What about at Barton? What about at Northwest Florida? What about his extensive track record as an Assistant Coach working under Gillespie, Pearl, and Marshall? Dude knows how to grind, has an extensive record doing so, and is deeply connected. 
 

And how sure are you about that with Hoiberg? He had one good run (a great run, not dismissing that) where he hit lightening in a bottle with the transfer market before it was a big thing. Other than that he’s been a failure as a head coach. He has a 47% winning percentage post Iowa State. Every coach out there had to deal with COVID. That post the other day made about other coaches hired in ‘19 should have been illuminating for everyone. Only with Nebrasketball would we have this low of expectations.

[49r]

But the question remains...why would Forbes want to leave Wake Forest for Nebraska?  Wichita State I could *maybe* see since he previously coached there (although maybe Shocker fans still want to distance themselves from the Gregg Marshall era?) but Nebraska?

 

Wake Forest is a million times better basketball school than Nebraska and it lies in the middle of one of the richest hoops recruiting areas in the country.

 

I can't see him wanting to leave that for what would be at best a lateral move.

 

If he is anywhere near as awesome a coach as some make him out to be, Nebraska ain't the move.  One would think he could hold out for any number of better jobs that are bound to open up in the next year or two.  Syracuse, for example, will be coming up soon one would think.  Georgetown too.  Louisville will most likely be available this year...

To be fair, they did play 4 P6 programs (Georgia, Wisco, LSU, and Rutgers) and a few of those programs have just stunk this year.  Mid-Majors are a crap shoot as you never know who you're going to play that could be good and boost your overall rating.

 

However-- the ACC is a disaster this year.  That 4 game losing streak they are on hurts, but they have a good opportunity to dance.  Can't say the same for us.

Forbes is basically Craig Smith who had the unfortune of working for Bruce Pearl.

 

Find it hard to believe he's in the market to leave Wake after getting extended last year but find it harder to believe that people don't think he could win here or , lol, that Fred Hoiberg could have done what he did at all those stops.

If Fred couldn't easily duplicate Forbes' records in the low mid-majors, then what the hell are we paying him $3 million+ a year for?

 

Hoiberg did more at Iowa State than Forbes did at East Tennessee, this is an easily verifiable fact. I have no doubt that Fred could comfortably handle the SoCon.  He coached a team in the NBA to the playoffs, something that I doubt Forbes will ever have the chance to try.  

 

Just because Fred chose to commit career seppuku by coming to coach at Nebraska doesn't mean he hasn't achieved way more in less time than Forbes has, and it certainly doesn't mean that Forbes should be anxious to make the same career move.

IMO, we need to go after a mid-major coach that's willing to accept a new challenge and build his own program. I don't think any established P6 coaches are toughing this job.

Whether Forbes would come here and whether he would have success here are two different things. I would agree with you I don't think he comes here as I have no expectation of him wanting to move in the first place. 

 

The biggest thing that Forbes does that Hoiberg doesn't is recruiting. The reason that Hoiberg wouldn't have the same sort of success that Forbes had is because Hoiberg wouldn't have built those teams. As far as why we're paying Hoiberg 3+ million a year, it's because he's a former NBA player who coached Iowa St to multiple wins in the NCAA tourney and coached the Bulls in the playoffs and we thought that he could have similar success here.

Just because Fred chose to commit career seppuku by coming to coach at Nebraska doesn't mean he hasn't achieved way more in less time than Forbes has, and it certainly doesn't mean that Forbes should be anxious to make the same career move.

Fred definitely deserves credit for what he did at ISU. I have a hard time chalking up his Husker tenure as ‘Nebrasketball gonna Nebrasketball’. His resume is a full picture, he had a hell of a 4 year run at ISU, and he’s had what may be the worst 4 year stretch any P5 coach has ever had at Nebraska.

If Fred couldn't easily duplicate Forbes' records in the low mid-majors, then what the hell are we paying him $3 million+ a year for?

 

Hoiberg did more at Iowa State than Forbes did at East Tennessee, this is an easily verifiable fact. I have no doubt that Fred could comfortably handle the SoCon.  He coached a team in the NBA to the playoffs, something that I doubt Forbes will ever have the chance to try.

So we’re just going to blame us for Fred’s dismal results here?  It’s all on Nebraska?  Fred has no responsibility for a bad plan upon taking the job, hiring a substandard  staff, for not leveraging his ISU success and NBA experience in recruiting, whiffing on the best collection of in-state talent in decades, having a complete lack of discipline and accountability for 3 years, and in hiring and then staying with Abdelmassih for 3 years?  Okay.  Our bad.

Maybe Billy Clyde Gillespie has served his penance and could resurrect his career.   IF, and it’s a very,very big IF, Chris Beard’s situation came to a cleansing, satisfactory resolution then I would pursue him.

Have lost 5 of 7 since that tweet and are favored in only 2 of their last 9.

 

BUT still an amazing job. Only 11 spots behind us on KenPom today.

Well he lost Five straight in 2013/14 (8-8 up to that point in the year) with Nobodygiving him any chance of winning any more games that season, Before beating Ohio State 68-62 on Jan 20; Going 11-3 the rest of the way, culminating with no-sit Sunday.  

 

(  Happily, I was at the 80-67 PBA win over Penn State on 2/20/14  ) 

 

Go Big Tim!

I couldn’t get it out of my quote attempt. Sorry.

interesting to wonder where nebraska football/basketball would be if we'd kept pelini and miles. I don't think there's any way we'd be in worse shape...

Beard should be choice #1 but school and state have a fake image to uphold
