Likely has nothing to do with sports, the timing is just beyond ridiculous 

 

Bounds is a huge sports fan. He seemed to be quite involved with the dealings of athletics at NU.

Former and current Nebraska assistants now have four times as many NCAA tournament wins as former and current Nebraska head coaches.

 

4 x 0 = 0

It's interesting how much Bama talk there is considering how Fred to Nebraska is a for sure deal.

YEP!!! If it were a done deal, don't you think we would have a new coach today?

Good Points Norm!      I've always wondered about those who criticized Miles, referencing how much he was being paid.   Like they would be happier if only he were paid less.  

And I can name one on here that bitched about it in every game thread.

Yup.....so glad we played in the NIT. I mean, what could go wrong with an extra week to make the obvious decision.

We'll see how things look in retrospect, but I'm getting the vibe that playing in the NIT or not had no bearing on getting our next coach.

 

It seems like it's either a "stall for time" or "we've got a mess in the administration to clean up" situation.

Obviously... it wasn't obvious in this situation... otherwise it would be a done deal.  Mad about how it went down so far?  Join the club!  Blame the guy who y'all want to build a statue of.

Here's what's really cool about this discussion.  After we build his statue, when you're proven right, you can burn him in effigy.  What a country!

This story is taking on Sallie-esque overtones.  Indulge me for a minute while an experienced Husker fan shares what could happen by the end of March:

1.  Hoiberg signs a contract agreeing to become NU's next head coach.  Moos keeps the signed contract at his house in a flour jar in the kitchen cabinet.
2.  Moos fires Miles and his staff.
3. The recruiting scandal at U of Arizona blossoms and Sean Miller is fired.  The A.D. decides to go for a coach with a clean image.  Miles is approached and hired.
4.  Hoiberg is approached by other schools indirectly, but Hoiberg says "Sorry, I've already signed a contract with another school."
5. LSU approaches Greg McDermott, who is interested.  LSU hires McDermott.
6.  Moos catches wind that it is Boehms' birthday.  Asks his wife to bake Marc Boehm a birthday cake, which he will bring to the office the next day.
7.  Moos calls in his staff and everyone he can find in the hallway to come in and enjoy a little cake celebrating Marc's birthday.  Moos does the honors of cutting the first piece.
8.  Staff members look on in horror as Moos pulls out remnants of the Hoiberg contract out of the cake, which is now worthless  (the contract, not the cake).
8.  A staff member instragram's a photo of the cake with the remnants of the contract.  The story becomes public.
9.  Rasmussen quickly approaches Hoiberg, who agrees to become the next coach at Creighton.
10.  A humiliated Moos, resumes the coaching search, signing Ernie Kent to a 5 year contract.

These are the things that happen to Nebraska basketball, my friends.  Brace yourselves.

It's nice to hear that the cake was good at least.

Don't eat the frosting.  Heard Standhardinger made it in a park....

Wow,  everybody just needs to calm down.

That's what we've said about the (now, still pending) Miles firing, but to each their own.

Don't take my story as being anti-Moos, or anti-Hoiberg, Hoi.  I hope everything works out for everyone.

The intent was to inject a little humor while we wait.  And wait....

That sort of thing would only happen to teams who are 3 seeds in the NCAA tournament and still can't get the monkey off their backs...

Sorry man but that’s still too soon.  Give it another decade and maybe I’ll be able to laugh about that night...

Leave the guy alone.  There is no need to follow him around.  When he hears something I guarantee that the Media will be informed.

Now 5 to 1, the one being Danny's win as an 11 seed in the 52-team tournament in 1983.  The five being two by Benford and three by Charlie Spoonhour.

College basketball is the easiest sport to win in and it can be done the fastest because you only play with 5 players at a time. Nebraska has NEVER had a coach with a P5 resume like Fred. Never. Like never, ever. This is uncharted territory. 

 

That sort of casts a shadow on the work of John Cook. After all, the volleyball team only plays with six. Or is there some line of difficulty that happens past 5? Tennis or golf ought to be downright impossible to mess up.
