Next Nebraska basketball coach

[BjoeHusker]

Adam Cohen (Stanford Associate Head Coach)

Darian DeVries (Drake Head Coach)

Chris Jans (New Mexico State Head Coach)

[hhcscott]

My vote is for Dwayne Stevens.

We need a B1G coach who can recruit the B1G footprint for B1G style players, B1G bigs

SB Nation MSU site

 

"As a coach he not only featured prominently in the development of future NBA big men like Paul Davis, Draymond Green, Adreian Payne or Jaren Jackson Jr but also developed into the bench‘s second defensive mastermind. “There is a reason why he‘s my defensive coordinator,” Tom Izzo says, never shy of implementing a football term. “He does understand it, he‘s very analytical and he has a great understanding of the X‘s and O‘s. Sometimes coaches get labeled as recruiters only but DJ is a very good coach who can and will help me with a lot of things.” It is a sentiment that‘s widely shared among the Spartans staff, some even say that Stephens is on par with his head man when it comes to defensive prowess."

I was there!  Very cool!

 

On the morning of that game I had given some thought to whether I wanted to drive up to Lincoln to go to the game, and I decided against it because I thought there was no chance we were going to pull off the upset so I decided to stay home and watch it on TV instead.  I was kicking myself after the game for not going.

Memories. Big 12 network..studio 66..the ORIGINAL ESPN Plus…

 

Consistently having ballgames on at 12:45 or 3 on a Saturday was the great part about Phillips 66's sponsorship of the Big 12 basketball schedule.... it made for a perfect Sat. afternoon.

 

Now, games are on at so many different times/dates, it's hard to have any sort of rhythm for players, coaches, fans, etc.

Probably not Kyle Smith at WSU but Kyle Smith has been pretty impressive

No way we could land Mark Pope right?

Could Kidney right the ship?

[Cazzie22]

I had better not make a choice because last time I wanted Fred Hoiberg!

[hhcmatt]

It's pretty natural that the next coach you hire is strong in the area in which your previous coach was deficient.  Thus I'd look for us to hire an established coach known for culture and/or teams that play hard as opposed to an up and coming assistant type.

Ha! I remember that guy. Junior high girls basketball legend IIRC. He just might be in our price range.

Someone with that type of prestige isn't coming here after what happened to Hoiberg.  This is a pipe dream fellas.

Put him on my list. All the guy does is win

 

Interestingly, about McCasland's North Texas Mean Green, they are 0-3 when their opponent scores exactly 69 points.

 

They are 20-1 when their opponent scores something other than 69 points (that only loss being a 12-point setback to KU).

 

There's a joke involving a city park after hours in there somewhere for @cipsucks.

[Norm Peterson]

Before @cipsucks wins the internet for the day, let me take a swing at this:

 

When someone scores 69 on you, you shouldn't look at them as an opponent.

Well, Gary Sharp this morning said it's time to start talking about who the next head basketball coach at Nebraska will be. This thread should be poppin' the next few weeks.

That's interesting to say the least. 

 

Medved or DeVries are still my pick. Linder wouldn't be bad

[Nebrasketballer]

I think my current list would be:

 

Top 4 (Current Salary):

Dana Altman ($3.5 Million)

Ed Cooley ($2.2 Million)

Darian DeVries ($500,000)

Mike Anderson ($2.5 Million)

 

Then:

Mark Turgeon

Gregg Marshall

I'd go after Chris Jans at New Mexico State or a B1G assistant.

 

No P6 head coach is coming here. And people underestimate how much Devries hates this university.

I've seen others say this. I hadn't heard this before. Care to elaborate? Not saying I don't believe you, just want to understand

I feel like any coach that's been at Creighton as long as he was develops a disdain for their rival, especially working under Altman. He coached at Creighton for almost 20 years. That's a long ass time. And he took legitimate pride and joy in being the lead scout against us. It was personal to him.

 

Not to mention he's an Iowa fan and his brother went there. I've heard he's riding the Drake job out until Fran retires.

 

Now can people have a change of heart? Absolutely. Money can change things. But you have to take into consideration his past. And didn't he just sign like a 10 year contract with Drake last year? That's not an easy buyout.

I didn't realize Jans resume was that good.

Him and Trev are the same age and grew up half an hour from each other. What are the chances they know each other?

I mean, he's kinda been saying it for a while now. He was a little more direct about it today, but he's been at this conclusion for a while.

Chris Jans wouldn’t be crap without Teddy Allen.  Oh wait….

We know a thing or two about “not easy buyouts”.

I would like Altman but I think we missed our window.  

Ed Cooley would be very interesting.  My only question about him would be fit because of his east coast roots.  His teams are physical and play their asses off…would be a nice change if he could instill that culture here.

 

I like Devries but wonder if he would take this job, as alluded to by OmahaHusker.

 

Mike Anderson is funny.  I always though “meh” when his name came up last time.  When I look at his career performance, I would kill to have his level of success.  Perception is a funny thing.

 

I feel like Turgeon would be a bit of a hire like Mike Riley.  Best years are behind him.

 

i used to really like Greg Marshall.  Guy seems like a prick but Wichita played a very hard nosed style under him.  The last few years they have been slipping so not sure how I feel about him at the moment.
