depending on the opponent, i may try and go to that game.

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.

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?

I will never forgive Murray State for ruining the undefeated non-con in 1990.  We should have started 16-0 that year.

What's your point Normie. All of Connie Yori's assistants are better coaches

the the D-2 coach at UNO.

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.

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

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.

No further comment, huh?

Old North Central Conference rival from back in the Division II days in North Dakota.  This will be a fun matchup.
