I think a team of 4 Derrick Walkers and any other player from the current team beat any combination of our current team 9 out of 10. With the one loss coming when the other Derrick Walker had a monster game.

People seem to be discounting this idea because of the specific numbers attached to it. What I say to that is forget the numbers. Think more low end of guaranteed money but still competitive then incentives. And thats where I think this works.

Not Norm but no. If he's interested see what he wants. We haven't tried the "Power 5 Coach that needs a soft landing" approach yet. Just don't back up the Brinks truck.

I like this idea and I think it may be the only realistic option. I've jumped ship on Hoiberg. I don't think he gets it done. I also think he's here 1-2 more years because of his contract. I also believe there is absolutely zero chance he renegotiates his contract. Why would he? He holds all the cards. So even in 2 years it would be a significant financial hit. This is the least enjoyable three years of Nebraska basketball in my life. I was firmly in the camp it was a "not spending more money for coaches" thing before this hire. Nope. I'll take the cheap hungry up and comer from here on out.

Just reading this...only confirms what my heart already knew

I feel we at at the level of bottom that is like getting kicked in the groin three times vs. four times. Sure getting kicked in the groin four times is worse. How much worse though?

Sadly we don't have anything else to discuss right now because as you stated...

I guess I'm confused. They way I 1st read your post was that you argued the expectations here may be too high. Which could scare off future potential coaches. But this post makes me think you are arguing the opposite. Or possibly the expectations are high because the pay for the head coach supports higher expectations. Anyhoo, that we are having these discussions at this juncture of Hoibergs tenure absolutely blows.

In what world is the expectation here to make the post season every year. What coach believes that is the expectation here. Seems like a strawman argument based on statements from message boards.

If having the WORST 3 year stretch in program history is overrated expectations then we should all just pack it up.

Time to part ways. I my view there is nothing you can state to support bringing him back except a large buyout.

Good comparison. Both are soft. But in vastly different ways.

When the announcers are musing how a team stays focused knowing the dumpster fire that is Nebraska Basketball is coming up on thier schedule it has to be the bottom right?!?

If you don't have anything nice to say...

This is just silly logic. You could put any role player from any other team on this one and we would still be a bad team. And it has nothing to do with the role player.

Pfft. Patience and development?!? We'll just reload in the transfer market. It's all the rage. Pretty soon it'll be nothing but dancing and banners!

Good gosh. If I win this bet I lose. If I lose this bet I lose. Is this Vegas in Nebrasketball hell?!?

If fate has a sense of irony its the Omega variant we have to worry about.

I know its been picked. But I think we angered the basketball gods and are being punished. So I say we are going winless.

My hunch is the exact opposite
