It sounds like he did. The problem is that the list seemed to be just as unrealistic as Nebraska's list was for the 20 years prior to this year.

We really should have asked him for his definition of "mediocrity" before letting him make decisions.

I really don't like seeing pictures like that around here. I thought this was a family friendly site.

 

Now I'm going to have nightmares.

I think Nebraska’s list under  SP was semi realistic.....it just sucked.  UCLA’s list was pie in the sky......SP’s list contained IIRC: Dave Wannstadt, Houston Nutt, Al Saunders, the DC for the Cowboys, then Bill Callahan.  UCLA’s list was much better, and totally unattainable.

UCLA failing is all part of an elaborate plan to make hiring Rick Pitino palatable

This is true. Although had you told me Hoiberg would come to Nebraska just a few months ago I would have told you that you're crazy.

That's exactly right. And although Moos has seemed to pick the "most obvious" hires, his current tenure can be summed up as a guy who has been able to seal the deal. And that might be an underrated skill in that field.

I think that was a common belief...

 

After Hoiberg left Iowa State...I felt that there were only two jobs in college that he would come back to college....Iowa St and Nebraska...

 

I have a lot of Iowa state friends and they all thought I was crazy...but it just seemed like a perfect fit for his family and his midwest roots.

Plus, Nebraska's a better program historically than Iowa State.

Nebraska: 1,477–1,337 (.525)

Iowa State: 1,376–1,322 (.510)

Nebraska leads the all-time series vs. Iowa State 131-103

 

Do they know this at WHO-TV in Des Moines?

That's straight up some Bullshippin'---havin' to see S.P. on here. That's the Pitt's.

That DC for the 'Boys is now the Head Coach for the Vikes, Mike Zimmer, who was the best candidate back then, in my opinion. He wanted to be a pro HC, which took him roughly a decade longer to achieve... but probably worth the wait, considering the S.P. factor.

This may be significant for this player.....

 

May be something to watch closely

I hope Matt kept Ian Steer and Justin Simons number.

[Huskerpapa]

I heard that Barnes was #6 on the UCLA list.  I do not believe there is any truth to the rumor that Tim Miles is number #14 on said list.

Wow.  How many other programs lose their head coach when Fred takes their top assistant?  Great time to be a Husker fan....

[throwback]

Well, we dominated the Big East on the court this season. We might as well break one or two of their teams during the off-season too.

That would provide a basis for the juco PG to get his release.  Maybe shows up on our sideline during the spring game.

[busticket]

I didn’t see that coming.  Mullin stuggled his first three years but breaks through in year 4 with 21 wins and an NCAA berth and gets pushed out?  Wow.

[HuskerFever]

Is now an appropriate time for UCLA to extend a job offer to both Bennett and Beard?

No kidding.  What a dumpster fire out in L.A.  They can't get anyone to come there!  

 

I find it hilarious.

Time for Bill Walton to step up. Who wouldn't want to be the best coach in the best conference.
