There is a need to reiterate the fact that Coach Miles IS a good coach.  He would not have worked up to this level in the business if he was not a good coach.  He was in fact, coach of the year just a

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 chip

Yeah, never underestimate the impact a great coach has on a program at any level.  Almost every program will suffer once that coach departs.  Wooden from UCLA, Bear from Alabama, Meyer from DePaul, Dr. Tom from Nebraska, Knight from Indiana, Miles from Nebraska...just to name a few.

 

Hey, San Jose State did just beat Air Force last night by 30 and are up to #113 in Kenpom (just 19 spots below us).  Largest margin of victory in a Mountain West Conference game in school history, by the way.

 

He may not be HOF material, but let's take it easy on the guy huh?

So . . . a perfect example of Nebraska firing its way to success?!

Too bad Miles had to start learning how to coach without Craig Smith by his side . . . at Nebraska. 

Apparently, he has learned how to do that.

He got worked at SDSU on Saturday night though.  The Aztecs went on a 24-3 run to end the first half and start the second (11 minutes) and a 13-0 run from the 5 minute mark to 2 minute mark.  Other than that 14 minute stretch it was a pretty even contest...

 

Still, they're having their best season in a very long time at San Jose St.

Travis Ford is a sneaky good option.  Dude has a very high floor as his teams are always pretty good.  Maybe he hasn't shown that he can be a high ceiling coach with a great team sprinkled in once in a while, but I think most of us would take a coach who consistently has his teams post-season eligible.

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?
