Tim Miles has a new gig!

Perfect!  Congrats coach!!!

[swoof]

He's going to be really good at that I think. Can't wait to hear him.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Amazing.

[Nighthawk]

Any chance he could do a Nebraska game?

[AuroranHusker]

Figured he'd wind up with a TV gig. Good for Tim Miles, and good for college hoops, too.

 

 

[Handy Johnson]

That’s a Win/Win, he’s an engaging personality & knows what in the hell he’s talking about. Good for Tim...!

[Norm Peterson]

Congratulations to Tim. He'll always be one of my all-time favorite Husker hoops coaches. Wish him nothing but the best.

[jayschool]

The next Dicky V. 

 

Timmy M!

[Huskerpapa]

Good for Tim.  Hope he does well.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Congrats Tim! Glad he will be a part of this college hoops season

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Someone smarter than me should post the tweet from BTN that has all of his former colleagues talking about him as an analyst.   Gold!!

[Ashfan]

Great news. I think that if he stays with this long term he will end up being one of the best.

I was wondering this as well.  Fox owns BTN, so there is opportunity there.  However, I don't think that Fox would do that considering he is less than a year out from getting the boot.  Love the guy, would love having him do one of our games, I just don't think Fox would go there.

My bet is you'll need to watch a bunch of Big East games if you want to see Tim.  The first game he'll be doing will be Jacksonville vs Xavier on Tuesday.

lol..would love to see him do one with Creighton if that's the case.  He could get in a couple of under the radar digs.

What I've heard is that he won't be doing any Nebraska games, at least not this year. If he stays with this gig and doesn't get back into coaching, which I believe he wants to do, perhaps that could change over time.

Yeah it's good

I am betting he will hit it big with this and, if he chooses to do so, would become the next Bill Raftery of college basketball analysts. He's going to be highly entertaining. I know I, for one, will seek out the games he'll be assigned to just to hear the zingers he'll be throwing out.

[hal9000]

If he wants to be the next Raferty or Vitale he’ll need to develop a schtick, or some catch phrases, like “Onions!”, etc.  Will definitely be tuning in.

So does NU get to deduct his salary from what they owe him or is that just the case if he would take another job at a university?

I don't care. I'm just happy for Tim. We're flush with money so it's not like we need it to make payroll or anything.

It is an interesting question to ask, nonetheless. I, too, wonder how that works...

 

 

[dustystehl]

Will Tim have any "Lance Jeter played football" or "Once Roby figures out how good he is..."-esque sayings? 

 

I can definitely see/hear him saying:

"The aggressor always wins in basketball."

"Attack. Attack. Attack."

And an overuse of "quite frankly".

 

Any other ideas?

He's got a million quips. And millions more he hasn't even thought of yet. He'll have no shortage of material, I'm sure of that.

 

The key is whether he can explain stuff. I always loved Raftery because he could explain things so well.  Plus he was fun to listen to.

 

I think Miles will be a hoot and I can't wait to hear him do the color in a game.

I'm happy for you smiling miles!!!
