Arkansas 24/7

 

Reporting Mike Anderson to Nebraska has legs. Guessing smoke screen but passing along what was reported there.

I'll unmerge this should this become an actual thing

Nolan Richardson may also be available . But at his age he can only promise 20 minutes of hell.

Not a bad back-up plan, but I can't find any smoke of this on twitter anywhere. Seems like Hoiberg is the only name we are connected to - and we're the only school he's connected to.

From the Tim Miles Send-Off thread (I have no idea how to link a post)...

I don't know if this is accurate or a joke or what, but is it possible Terry Pettit wasn't just joking around?

I wouldn’t be very satisfied with Mike Anderson.

Pretty Meh for me too....

[Blindcheck]

I can't imagine that Mike Anderson would have been one of the 3 coaches that Moos had in his front desk drawer...at least not his top 3 as he said in his presser.

 

I wouldn't mind Anderson,  not my first choice, but I think he could be a good fit.

Maybe it means Miles to Arkansas?

I assumed he meant Arkansas might be a landing spot for Miles. Please tell me it's not the other direction.

You're just trying to talk yourself into being OK with it in the event that's what happens.

Who, on March 20, would have said they'd trade Tim Miles for Mike Anderson?

[uneblinstu]

I wouldn't have said it on March 20. Or Feb 20. Or Jan 20. Or March 20, 2018.

I was assured a "home run" hire.  I was assured Hoiberg was "N."  The fact that we are even having this conversation is ridiculous.  

[atskooc]

Anyone want to put a percentage on this?

[hskr4life]

I'll still hold out until an official hire is announced.  With what we are hearing right now... this is a very botched situation.  I hope that isn't the case in the end.

1000%.

This would not be the answer.

In the thread I posted the guy who is connected walked it back and said that Anderson did not visit with Nebraska like he first had suspected. So I don't think there really has been significant contact between the 2. 

 

But are we really acting like we're above Mike Anderson? He has won tournament games in all 3 of the programs he's lead, including a Sweet 16 at UAB, an Elite 8 at Missouri and 3 NCAA appearances in his last 5 years at Arkansas. He is a hero at Nebraska  if he duplicates any of that at Nebraska and he's also a damn good person. 

[thrasher31]

I'm sorry. I thought Hoiberg was a done deal? This better just be some rumor. 

[Nebrasketball1979]

Um, I'm going to hope that this is another situation like Altman where a coach is trying to use our opening as leverage to extract more money out of their current employer or from another one they may be interviewing with.  Being in the "pro-Miles" camp, I can buy off on moving on from him to Hoiberg or some other homerun hire but this just doesn't quite fit the bill.  Look, Mike Anderson may be a great coach and it just didn't work out at Arkansas much like it didn't for Miles at Nebraska; however, this would be a huge disappointment to me and really make me wonder why we chose to tear down the foundation Miles had built with a coach who isn't all that much more proven.  

 

Also, I hope my use of the semicolon was acceptable

Compared to Hoiberg it would be very disappointing to me at least.  If we were never in a Hoiberg discussion I may not hate it as much.  I worry about his style translating to the Big 10.  Big time.

You might be able to play this card... had some not bluffed over the past month that our basketball savior was already N.

I agree I'd rather have Hoiberg. But just weird to see a program whose never won a tourament game thumb their nose at a guy that blows away the resume of any coach we've ever hired.
