Did he leave the program better than he found it?

 

You are right that he is not coming back to Nebraska, everybody knows that...if it is mentioned it is only done so sarcastically.

 

But the answer to the question you asked above is absolutely unequivocally yes the program was in a better place when Tim left than when he came here.

 

Doc Sadler had taken what was supposed to be his best roster at Nebraska to a 12-18 (4-14) record and average attendance in the low 3,000's at Devaney.  He had left the program in an absolute shambles and on a steep downward trajectory.

 

Doc reached the post season 3 times in 6 seasons (all NIT with a 1-3 record)

 

Tim Miles took that program and finished above .500 in conference play twice (two times more than Doc achieved that feat) and, oh he also sold out season tickets to a 15,500 seat arena for each of his 6 years at PBA.  The program was on the rise in the last two years of his tenure, or at worst it was plateauing at high-teens win totals.

 

Tim reached the post season 3 times in 7 seasons (two NIT and one NCAA also 1-3 record)

I would also add that any coach would have those #'s at PBA considering its what happens whenever a new arena is built.  Its not like his 1st year he was lighting the world on fire.  He was a good promoter for what the program needed at the time
