I can remember when Sipple said Scott Frost would be Coaching the Dallas Cowboys by now, & that Tanner Lee was a “can’t miss” NFL prospect… jdw and thrasher31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch Light Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Sipple is a tool and Hoiberg needs to go. I don’t think they are mutually exclusive. What a mess we are in. Imagine having to buyout both coaches in the same fiscal year. It’s very possible. If Hoiberg goes 0-fer, I don’t see how you bring him back. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m done with Nebraska athletics until some changes get made. I’m letting our football tickets go. HAF donations, sorry, Nebraska is not getting a dime from me anymore. I stopped going to Nebraska basketball games and fully plan on not renewing our tickets, which we have had since forever. Done. You can call me a bad fan or whatever, maybe I am. I just can’t do it anymore. Just not into 3 win football coaches and whatever basketball this is.

royalfan Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 The fact Derrin Hansen is mentioned here as a possible replacement is a good indication that this is not good. There would have to be several thousand better candidates. Cowboy Kermit, Bugeaters1 and Chuck Taylor 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question your poor choice in beer, but not your fandom. We all have to draw our own line deciding how much emotional abuse is too much.

HuskerFever Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Basketball is sometimes about stringing some good games together. It's also about not losing control of your season.

Seems we kind of just glossed over it and chalked it up to "we have a better team next year to look forward to". So far Hoiberg is at 9, 17, and 9* (*so far) losing streaks.

If you just use losing streaks against D1 teams (because Doane broke up an 11 game) he had a 17 game in year 1, an 11 game in year 2, and now currently on a 9 game. Double-Digit losing streaks every year tend to make progress hard. tcp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphilso1 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Doc's record of never having longer than a 7 game losing streak is pretty impressive. Especially considering the roster, facilities, and resources he inherited. Is it weird to say that I miss Doc, considering he's on the staff currently? Back in his heyday he was so fun to watch on the sidelines. Noah121, tcp and HuscurAdam 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean, but I also think those teams were filled with talented perimeter defenders. Doc was clearly a defensive minded coach and recruiter. We had some very talented defenders (Sek, Gallegos, Perry, Harley, Ade, Velander, McCray, Bear, Jeter) under his watch. hskr4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in his heyday he was so fun to watch on the sidelines. Generally, everyone knevv he could coach. It's recruiting that did him in. But I can see from this experience that I think Doc doesn't like 5 star players much. He likes guys to teach. And that's not generally the thing top recruits enjoy hearing during a recruiting pitch.

Huskerpapa Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Doc was not a fan of many of the AAU programs. He preferred to recruit HS programs/coaches which hindered him a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Question(s)...then what? Lets say we get rid of the coach. I'm fine with whatever the decision is about his future...but what next? Even if he stays we almost all seem to think a good portion of these guys will be transferring or going to try out for the NBA. Lets say we get a new coach for next year...new coach new team. I'm guessing that if we get a new team that it will include no one that played this year...or even practiced with the team. Next year could go two ways...we suck or we look amazing...but what about the following year? Lets say we lose a bunch of guys to the NBA or the Portal again. Lincoln just doesn't look like a destination school. We don't send out four year players anymore on Senior Day. We send out guys that maybe got one season in as a Husker before deciding to head to "greener pastures". Does whoever is coaching go for the players that might give us one maybe two years of basketball or does he(or she) go for players that might not be NBA caliber but will actually be around for three or 4 years? Maybe all the other teams are going through the same thing, but we are just getting the worst of it? I don't pay much attention to other teams. Are the days or four year players done for the most part due to the portal and the NBA being so open? Part of me wishes that the pro level programs would say "You have to show commitment to the team and the sport by staying at a school at least two years before trying out". No more of this right out of HS or give a team one year and then bam you are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
