When enough time has passed, I’ll spills the beans on everything I know about the end of the Miles era. 
 

He needed to go. 

 

Just think how awkward it would have been for someone to unload on Sadler about November of 2018.

The thing about glossing over the bad stuff and just remembering the good stuff of the Tim Miles era is that he had good stuff.

This is such a gross overreactionary attempt at a take. Look at who those teams have played, and remember that your record in November is just fodder for the slapdicks like Jon Rothstein of the world to write "who won the offseason coaching carousel" articles for clicks. It's November for god's sake. 3 of the teams you listed even remotely have tournament aspirations, let alone chances. 

 

Have you seen Minnesota play?

 

If we played them tomorrow, they'd embarrass us.

 

I mean, yeah, it's early and who have they played and all, but I still have eyes and my eyes tell me that Minnesota fans are watching a better brand of basketball right now than Husker fans.

He was great. Exact character I thought NU needed.

I would never

Didn't see this posted anywhere on HHC yet but Tim Miles' Spartans (#321 KenPom) beat South Dakota last night 61-52.

When Miles gripes about his computer ranking, that's a good time to wager on his team

[49r]

SJSU won their 5th out of 6 games last night getting their first road win of the season vs. Portland Pilots.

 

 

Their KenPom ranking is up to 268 now.

Good for Tim.  Sitting at 6-4, but looking at their schedule, maybe 7-3 is where they “should” be.  Overall, hope he has success out there in Cali!

[Red Don]

Tim!!!!  I keep hoping someday we'll be able to say:   "Tim! We knew ya When!"

he's at his best taking a huge underdog and inflating them up. 

 

this is the perfect gig for him.

Remember the days when Twitter was a new thing & Tim would send out a halftime tweet & we would all swoon @ how hip/wow/with it Huskers hoops finally was… Seems like a lifetime ago.

I forgot about this!  Those were definitely the days.

Program building as usual

I doubt it's coincidence that the $2 beers are Coors Light

25 dollar nachos? lol only in San Jose....sheesh. Miles should be able to fundraise a behemoth there, even taking into account Berkeley and Stanford. 

[jason2486]

They hit a school record 17 3s in their last game. They move the ball well and are fun to watch. Most of their games stream on MWC free streaming service. It's nice to have a 2nd team to pull for!

[49r]

We might as well start calling Tim Miles "Rick" because he is most definitely Richard Pitino's daddy!

 

 

[HB]

Yeah, that had to be personal, as Miles thought he had that job.  Until Pitino’s dad and Coach K intervened.  Great W for Tim.

First time I had seen Tim's new team play. I did not note any glasses. Has he had lasik or wear contacts now? His overall record so far is now 8-19 and Fred is 7-19 so pretty much a wash for this year. Maybe it will light Hoiberg's competitive streak to win at Northwestern.

Hopefully Tim makes better progress after year 1 than Fred.

Bet if Fred went to another school he'd succeed.  There is just something about Nebraska and men's hoops that just doesn't work.

No, this is a whole new level of "not working".  Single digit season wins and last place finishes 3 straight years just doesn't happen, even here.   Until now.

In fact, Nebraska had NEVER before had 20-loss seasons, and, now, Fred is on the cusp of his 3rd consecutive 20+ loss season! It's remarkable, for all the wrong reasons. . .

Let's not overblow this too much. Had some of our prior coaches had 20-game conference seasons, there's a chance Miles could have had 4 20-loss seasons, Sadler with 2, Collier with 2, Nee with 4, etc.
