jimmykc 2,651 Report post Posted February 11 After briefly perusing the above list of coaches to watch, I fail to see any "wow" factor here that would make me excited about a hire unless one would come with an elite, 6'11 center attached. In other words, I would rather go with Miles and the recruits he already has than randomly hiring any of these guys because of their potential ability to build a team at this level. Moos had better have an established name ready to take over or it won't work, and that doesn't include assistants at Illinois or head coaches at South Dakota State. How about Danny Manning,anyone?

Heck, right now they are not really in a whole lot better off than we are. Their upside is better given how young they are and that the Porter family seems to have had a huge litter of basketball players. 1 ladyhusker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmykc 2,651 Report post Posted February 11 My point was not to build Danny's resume, but to recommend someone with experience at this level and name recognition which is not connected with previous scandal if making a regime change. I figure if Les Miles can decide he wants to coach football in Lawrence, anything is possible. 2 Huskerpapa and Bugeaters1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donkey 172 Report post Posted February 11 2 hours ago, hhcmatt said: They really left him twisting in the wind a bit the last time on his contract extension and in some regards that's reflected in his $350,000. They'd really have to crater or he'd have to really want to be by family and he's really want to be paid more because he's not going to have a better basketball setup than he has at Maryland where you're up to you eyeballs in good area players and no one really tracking where all that Under Armor money goes. No doubt Turgeon does get good players, but he hardly has the area on lock down. It seems he lands the overrated local players and misses on the superstars. It really frustrates a lot of the base. Also, Under Armour/Maryland is nothing like Nike/Oregon. Maryland's fundraising base had surprisingly withered over the years (the Washington Post ran a really good article on this issue 6 months after it joined the BIG), and the AD was heavily in debt when Maryland joined the BIG. The stability at the top of the AD has been problematic recently as well. Further, the handling of DJ Durkin has led to some unrest within the AD. I am not trying to suggest Turgeon is looking around. I just am providing reasons why he would listen, and the likelihood of Maryland letting him go. Nebraska would have to be the aggressor as I doubt Maryland will fire Turgeon at this time. I do know that Maryland was very unhappy with Turgeon last year and would have considered cutting ties had Maryland endured an "average" season this year like what happened in 2017-2018.

He, of course, was the replacement to Dalonte Hill of $400K-a-year-at-K-State fame, which I have no doubt was reflective of his skills as a coach and not a slush fund whatsoever (who decided to leave that kind of paycheck voluntarily and take a pay cut to join a bright mind like Turgeon). 1 HB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
