bobcat402 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 depending on the opponent, i may try and go to that game. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I think their head coach makes something like $115,000/year. I wonder if he's the lowest paid coach in post-season play. * Yep, looked it up. Derrin Hansen is paid $115,500 per year, plus he drives a 2012 Tahoe provided by the University. That's less than any of Connie Yori's assistants. http://dataomaha.com/media/news/nu-foundation/ Quote

AuroranHusker Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 depending on the opponent, i may try and go to that game. I wouldn't expect a very good opponent. I think I am going to try and go also. The Murray State Racers are likely a 'road' team for rd. 1... if it's Omaha v. Racers, it has a sense of symmetry with the Omaha Racers being a former fixture in the big O. And, who knows, maybe Popeye Jones will be in attendance? Quote
49r Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 I will never forgive Murray State for ruining the undefeated non-con in 1990. We should have started 16-0 that year. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
Fastbreaker Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 >That's less than any of Connie Yori's assistants What's your point Normie. All of Connie Yori's assistants are better coaches the the D-2 coach at UNO. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
uneblinstu Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Very cool. Good for them. Hope they do well. I think they'll be competitive in the Summit when they can join the post season fray. I like what Hansen does. Wonder if he'll get a shot at a bigger school. He's a great coach. Quote

He's a great coach. i like hansen, ever since he took over for McKenna, i was at a camp when i was 11 or 12, and Mckenna just didnt seem interested in helping the kids, and was very distant but coach hansen was so cool Quote
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 >That's less than any of Connie Yori's assistants What's your point Normie. All of Connie Yori's assistants are better coaches the the D-2 coach at UNO. Uh, not sure if you're serious or not. Assuming you are, you appear to be misinformed. He's not a D2 coach. He's a head coach at a D1 school that just moved to D1 within the last couple of years and he already has his team playing in a post-season tourney. Re-read the OP: Trifecta of Nebraska D1 schools reaching post-season play. They peaked at a higher Kenpom rating this year than we obtained all of last year. And he's done it with a bunch of kids who probably had no more than a handful of D1 offers among them. Don't know how you could compare the quality of coaching between the head men's coach at D1 Nebraska-Omaha and the assistant women's coaches at Nebraska-Lincoln. But the point of the comparison I was making was not a knock on Connie's assistants, which appears to be how you read it. It is a fact that men's coaches historically earn more than women's coaches. And head coaches historically make more than assistants, right? My point, as plainly stated in my post, was that I wondered if he was the lowest paid men's head coach with a team in post-season play and, as context for just how low his pay is, I added that he's making far less than the assistant coaches at a women's program an hour away.
