Fred the Mayor and T.O. the Governor with, of course, Frosty as the Lt. Governor. Sounds good 'nuff. Edited March 29, 2019 by AuroranHusker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was just being prepared with arguably the number one coaching prospect this year Exactly. What helped us Fred didn't have a job. Moos didn't have to be sneaky and use a go between. He could simply pick up the phone and have a "how's it going conversation" HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's taken Purdue to 3 straight Sweet 16s and has finished in the top 4 of the Big Ten in 10/15 seasons. Also, I'm not entirely sure why nearing retirement would discount coaches from being on a Top Ten list. If we want to do Top Ten Coaches Who Will Still Be Coaching in 2025, we can. It's just not the list I was making.

That's one sign of great coaching, for sure. Painter's a great coach. HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can't run a 'Tyronn Lue is interested in the Nebraska job' piece before Miles is let go without making Lue look like a villain to some Silverbacked1 and jason2486 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmykc 3,619 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Not sure this needed a separate thread so I'll just put it here. Sipple column in LJS this morning sort of gives rationale for why Lue may not fit in with Moos' criteria. Pretty much BS stuff, but as non-official spokesman for UNL, it is certainly not a ringing endorsement by Sip. And for those who read the editorial page, the LJS board of editors gave a nice sendoff to Tim Miles today. Red Don and mwm89 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khoock 1,464 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) So should i be cheering for a Sparty loss tn? If that happens is he announced on Monday? (If he is the next HC) Seems like the deeper Mich St goes the more time other teams have to contact Thomas Allen and talk to our current commits, more time for Roby to lean towards the draft over a senior year, etc. Edited March 29, 2019 by khoock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HuskerFever 7,314 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Realistically, Michigan State's performance in the tournament should have no bearing to when a coaching announcement is made. Regardless, it would be a shame if Moos doesn't lock down a coach before the Final Four, because that would be a missed opportunity with all of those coaches networking events and meetups. ladyhusker, HolyBobpilgrimage, Silverbacked1 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timing is huge, I think that is why we're waiting. It serves two purposes, one Hoiberg can enjoy a weekend with his family without being "New Nebraska HC", but also we get more bang for our buck with an announcement right before Final 4 festivities get kicked off. While Nate Oats to Bama will be second page news, Hoiberg to Nebraska would be one of the big storylines at the Final 4. But you're right in the sense that you don't want to wait until AFTER the final 4. I think Moos gets it right though, his timing has been thoughtful and well executed these last few weeks. He's had his ducks in a row. Silverbacked1, Art Vandalay, HolyBobpilgrimage and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CornHoopsters 18 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 If it is Hoiberg, and I believe it is, how much work behind the scenes do you think he's doing with potential recruits or current commits/current rosters players? If it is going on those guys are keeping pretty tight-lipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
