Nothing quite like having staff leave your university for another school in the same conference (or something like that)...

[Huskerpapa]

Timing sucks

[hhcmatt]

I don't see an opening there for an assistant. Is someone from Oregon moving on or is he leaving for a different role?

[Nighthawk]

Official statement from Coach. 

[hhcmatt]

Do we hire Danny Nee or Barry Collier here?

[Navin R. Johnson]

I would think Hoiberg would replace him with someone who has recruiting on the top of his resume.

Jimmy Williams

Time to take the phone off silent and await the call from coach.

[mkroll12345]

He's hiring the entirety of this forum, get ready

[HuskerFever]

What kind of office chair do they have? That might be a make or break for me taking the job.

I like it.  Kind of like that football league that let the fans pick the plays.  
 

Create an app and let us choose things like inbounds plays, man vs zone, who to sub, etc.  It could work!

 

Better yet, make it to where only the fans in attendance choose this stuff.  Sellout every night!

Need to hire a 5 star's dad 

[Huskerpapa]

So does he replace the assistant who took the Omaha head coaching job?

[Cazzie22]

Oregon is probably more stable for his future.  Who knows how long Fred may last?

i was wondering if he took Crutchfield’s spot as well

They hired Chuck Martin in April, a guy most recently coaching under Frank Martin (no relation) at South Carolina

[Huskerpapa]

So who's spot is he taking?

[Huskerpapa]

I am currently in the great pacific northwest.  There is basically nothing that I see about this hire up here.

[Husker4theSpurs]

Better gig ... more stable and successful. Good move by him ... surprised? they want him.

[hhcmatt]

A somewhat odd end to the somewhat odd tenure of Armon which started with him being at Florida for less than a Burno before coming here

[Fullbacksympathy]

Not a lateral move by any stretch.  Eugene will have way more stability, more NIL money, and a weaker conference.  Altman will value Armon.  
 

His next step will be as a head coach somewhere in a couple of years if I’m making a prediction.  It was just never a fit with Fred.

How can you determine if it's a step up or back if you don't even know what job he'll be taking?

I’d love to see what they put in his bio on Oregon’s athletic site.  “At Nebraska he helped coach Hoiberg……”

24-67 (9-50)

 

I think he's better off saying "At Nebraska he let Hoiberg coach the team to its demising three seasons; Armon had nothing to do with that."
