New Coach Coming Soon?

[royalfan]

2nd your thoughts on Hansen.  Also worries me a little now that you mention it, as someone posted something about a potential hire being "one of the good guys in college basketball" and he is a nice guy seemingly.  Just can't coach very well.

I'd say there is a good chance at an announcement today.

Of course the first (and so far only) reply to Rothstein's tweet there is a Creighton fan.

 

Those guys are so SO weird.

Is he wrong? Lol

He’ll be getting paid for 2 years regardless. That’s the industry standard

2 for 1 is a pretty good deal!

Zieger typically has been a frontcourt coach so we'll see who coaches where this year.

Like this hire. Not the guy I thought (or was told) it was going to be. But this guy seems like a no nonsense, but relationship driven coach. Lots of experience, knows how to recruit. Coach Hoiberg has a ton of strengths... being the enforcer/accountability/energy guy is not one of them. This guy seems like he has the goods to do this.

Time will tell...but on the surface this appears to be good addition...by the by, I just saw Oleg at Hyvee buying groceries.   Must be trying to further build up his weight.

[AuroranHusker]

That's about a good a hire as Freddy could have made. NU should benefit from this to put the Huskers on a good path if Hoiberg Hoops can make somewhat of a B1G jump in 2022-23.

[NUdiehard]

One possible bonus with this hire.  If Ziegler has been unemployed since March, then he essentially was not subject to any recruiting restrictions.  A lot of times these assistant coaches use the time off to really develop relationships with potential future recruits and their families without any restrictions. 

 

Or maybe he just went to the the Bahamas for five months.  Ha!

Crayton fans are going to Crayton.

Is he over 210lbs yet?

I honestly don't think we should expect anything different from what we had before.

I'd say that any B1G footprint guy he was in on at Mississippi St we have a decent shot at.  The only overlapping recruit I could find was Braelon Green. Not sure how much mutual interest there is atm with us already having Chase Clemmons signed.

Besides Zeigler having different recruiting areas and head coaching experience, I feel like he'll have trouble duplicating Gates' 'recruiting coach who doesn't go out to recruit' vibe.

Seems like as good a hire as we had any right to expect under the timing and circumstances.   Impressive.

You can't spell "irrational-optimistic-fanatic" without fan.

That's how I feel about it, we're hiring in August with a coach who might not last another year. Kind of like recruiting, why get excited about a kid who likely will decommit if Fred gets fired?

How much of that is Gates and how much of that is the role they put MA into as far as team building?
