Yes he still has a home in Lincoln...about a mile from Bo and Coach Miles home.  And yes, I think his two sons and wife still are here part time and Doc is here when he can.  I continue to wish him well.

He's possibly a couple of years away from becoming the first former Husker basketball coach in a long time, if ever, to have a Div I coaching career somewhere else.

What about Danny Nee?

 

 

I guess Robert Morris and Duquesne are technically Division I...but it doesn't seem like it.

Congrats to Doc. ISU's defense should improve. I hope he gets another shot in a couple of years.

 

I doubt he will get another head coaching job and any major D1 schools but he might be a very good assistant coach at ISU or another school.  It's got to be difficult to go from being a head coach to assistant coach.

I don't think it will be a problem. It's not like he went directly from a head coach to an assistant. He did have a year at KU to cool off so to speak. Granted he didn't have any hands on recruiting or coaching but I think Doc will be fine. And he will be a head coach if he wanted to. Not at a major Division I school but still a Division I school. There are like 300+ of them.

Another?  Like you mean he had a head coaching job at a major D1 school previously?  Oh, you mean us?  Or UTEP?

 

On the other hand, aren't you thrilled that this step-up in pay for Doc means UN-L's costs for his buyout go down?

Maybe not at a BCS school, but he'll land something in Div 1. He's a damn fine coach with a weakness that he'll be addressing. He's not the first coach to have this happen to him and he won't be the last. I honestly think he's picked up for a head gig within 3 years.

In 6 years at NU he had only one truly disastrous season: his last. He also coached out of his mind for one of those seasons: his third. People who pay attention to these things won't just remember year 6.

I'll give credit to my "inside source" in Lawrence for forcasting this when Doc didn't get the Dooley job he wanted. Now to see if Wiggan's dad ends up with his old job. This is already on the "other" basketball forum that only the crickets visit. I liked the old days when the dungeon had every post and I just had one button to push on the old ebay.

Sounds eerily similar to positions that opened up for both pop Chalmers and Manning Sr.

I think the NCAA changed the rules to make such hirings impossible.  As I understand it, you can hire family members as assistant coaches, but nothing else.

Doc was paid off in one lump sum over a year ago.
