Miles likes to build programs from the ground up, and by ground, I mean he likes to set the bar so low that he has nowhere to go but up. Let's just say I don't think our roster needed to be as bad as it was last year.

Wait, are you suggesting that Miles tanks his first year just so his subsequent years look better? And will get rid of good players just to accomplish that?

From SBNation:

 

"When Tim Miles became the 19th coach in Colorado State history, he inherited a program that could have returned as many as four starters and eight letter winners from a 17-13 team. Instead, Miles, hired to replace Dale Layer after seven seasons of mostly mediocrity, with the notable exception the 2003 MWC Tournament championship run, will open his first season with just two players that have ever played a game of Division I basketball. The departure of Jason Smith (16.8 ppg, 10.1 rpg, .579 FG), who was the 20th pick in the NBA draft, was expected, but the losses of Tyler Smith (10.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg), Stephan Gilling (8.9 ppg, .435 3PT), Tim Denson (8.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg) and several other reserves were not. ''We started with eight and kind of worked our way down to a workable number,'' Miles said with a laugh about the number of players CSU had going through individual workouts in the spring. ''It's not an optimal situation to step in to,'' Miles said. ''At the same time, if you've got to go through it, you might as well go through it right away and get things the way you want to. It might be a blessing in disguise.'

 

I don't know all the specifics, but CSU had 6 guys who were the regular "starters" on the team the year before Miles, and 1 was senior, and the 1 kid went pro. Miles kept 1 kid around and the other 3 were gone. In short, they could have been a lot better than 7-25 in his first season. But would they have been 20-12 and in the NCAA Tournament in his 5th season if he had kept all those guys? Maybe, maybe not.

Didn't he get like two guys that tried to kill each other or something really bad like that?

Sorry Dimes didn't see what you had there.

 

Aren't you thinking of the Northern Colorado punters that Scott Downing coached (Downing being a former football assistant at NU)

So now we go from playing against an almost-Husker player to playing an almost-Husker coach.  If Mark Fox' Georgia team wins out tomorrow, will he tweet something like this?

"That win was for all the haters I have in Nebraska . Never going to regret for a second going to Georgia. I love this team and these players!" :unsure: 

I should point out that in this case, Fox rejected Nebraska's offer to be the head coach in 2006 when he was at Nevada, not the other way around.

Sorry, Mark.  Mike was better #OutFoxed

No read Dimes' article one guy pointed a gun at another right after

Tim got there.

 

Ok, gotcha. Missed the article, will need to read that... by the way, the northern CO case was a punter battle for the starting position: Maim the starter & hope no one finds out who did it~  :o

 

 

Tanya Harding'd him...

Jeff Gillooly never seems to get his proper due for his role in Nancy's knee-ache...  <_<
