Woo Woo here comes the Hype train!

[cornfed24-7]

Just so everyone is aware. I am at the front of the line, money in hand, patiently waiting to buy a ticket on this hype train...destination deep consecutive NCAA tournament runs

[*Deleted Account*]

He is the most high profile P5 coach with past championships and NCAA appearances at a P5 school that Nebraska has ever had. So.......YES

I appreciate your optimism, but top 10? I could rattle off WAY more that without even making much of an effort. I’ll be thrilled if we hire him, but I’m not all wide-eyed and blown away by his resume. He had a nice run at ISU, but he’s no Johnny Orr, Norm Stewart, Billy Tubbs, Jack Hartman etc. Like John Houseman use to say, “ We make our money here the old fashioned way, we EARN it.”

 

I don’t know much about Nebrasketball history pre the mid 90’s but as an incoming coach he blows Collier/Sadler/Miles out of the water.  And it’s not close. I have no idea if he will end up being the best coach we have ever had as who knows...he may not stay long.

 

But, considering where Nebraska is at on the totem pole I don’t see how any Nebraska fan would not be wide eyed when looking at his resume.

its a fair question

Prolly Nee then Iba

Our current coach has not lost a game at DONU. Coach Mo is the greatest ever!

Would agree if rating them.    I used chronological order in listing them

[Handy Johnson]

Like I said, I’ll be very happy if we hire Fred, but LOTS of Coaches have been to one Sweet Sixteen...

[HoiBall]

Two years in a row Bill Moos will have hired the most  premier coach available in the country. Think about that for a second

[Handy Johnson]

I hope you’re right...

Just none that have ever coached here, though.

[Dead Dog Alley]

When Joe Cipriano was the same age as Hoiberg is now, he already had 200 wins at Nebraska.

That’s pretty subjective. And it would have been harder to mess up the Frost deal than close it. 

[Huskerpapa]

The next coach may, or may not, be the greatest Husker Hoops coach.  But jeez, let him coach at least one game...please.

 

As of right this second, I think Iba may have been our best coach...and also the least respected.

Imagine how difficult it would be to have the same success as a modern day coach if the NCAA rules of "win your conference" was the only way to get into the tournament...

I feel like reverse is true here though

another reason why people should only listen to music on radio. 

 

I still can't figure out how talk radio became cool again. And I hope I never do. 

Spot on.  And no he would not be the greatest Nebraska coach when he steps on campus.  IF he is the next coach, I think he has a chance to become the greatest.

He would be the best coach we've ever had. When have we ever had a coach who at the LEAST is a top 20 college coach and in my opinion a top 10 college coach.

How are you related to Fred?  About time someone asks.

He could be the best we've ever had, he is NOT the minute he gets hired.  Could he be, absolutely.

Thinking he listed them in the order they were here.  If that is how he thinks they did, it is not accurate. - Never mind read the rest of the thread.

That’s all I’m sayin, let’s pump the brakes. Past success guarantees nothing. Remember when Bill Callahan coached in the Super Bowl? Peleni was the DC for National Champion LSU? Danny Nee was far from wildly accomplished but took us to 5 NCAA tournaments & an NIT Title in 8 years.

Danny had been the top assistant to Digger Phelps, had four 20 win seasons in six years at Ohio with an NCAA Tournament win, and was the third best coach that tried to get the Nebraska job that year (behind Huggins and Montgomery).

Yep, that's sad.  He had two really good seasons, 1965 and 1977.  The rest was Mike Rileyish…..

That’s all very true, I wasn’t trying to write him off as chopped liver. Was merely pointing out that falling in love with someone’s resume ultimately doesn’t amount to a hill of beans either way. How many football fans assume Frost’s tenure here will mirror his time at UCF? Too many...
