This is a really odd post. He used the money and used Davidson as a back channel. That's great work on his part. Doesn't care about the basketball program but hires one of of the top coaches in the country.

Keep in mind Norm is literally trying to give me shit for a comment in march of 2017 where I said the whole athletic department should be shown the door. 6 months later the AD was fired, Then Riley, and since my comment Miles has 2 NIT's and 1 NIT win. What progress!

Not sure I really care. He was hired to bring in Scott Frost and he did that. Hoiberg is the best hire in school basketball history. Sad Moos can do this drunk (according to you and those in the "know") While Pederson, Osborne, Eichorst, ect couldnt hire a competent coach.

This fan base really doesn't deserve Bill Moos. After the BS rumors regarding him being a drunk despite getting us the biggest name coach for football and now this? What a joke. 

This entire thread proves what I've been saying for a long time on here, that Nebraska fans are constantly looking to have their ego stroked. Overly sensitive to any perceived slights.
Bill Moos wasn't at BIG Tourny for a very good reason,,,family. Is that something we believe in here at Nebraska or is just something we offer lip service? I can't believe people are actually question this.
All this whining about what he said? Really? He made a statement about TM  future which under these circumstances was understandable. 
 
Tim Miles is going to be let go from Nebraska. That is a fact. Bill Moos will make the hire. That is a fact. Will he do better than the past 3 AD's at hiring a coach? That is yet to be seen.
We do know that is extremely difficult to get a good coach to come here. We have tried and fallen flat despite our best efforts. Call it bad luck or whatever. 
 
I'm glad that Moos isn't going to fire Miles before the end of the season like I have seen suggested elsewhere. I want to see this group finish out the season on a strong note and will be supporting them all the way.
 

If we're being honest, I don't care if Moos statement was him farting  into a microphone for 30 seconds, as long as he hires a coach that wins us our first NCAA game. HHC - R*E*L*A*X...

With all due respect. We don't need a head coach that can recruit Nebraska. We need a head coach who can get Big 10 level talent here and get to the tournament. You do that and it makes it pretty easy to get the worthy in state kids to stay. 

A few things to share about the article.
 
Yes there is some talent there, but most of the players listed are playing in the Summit League or scoring two points a game out in the Mountain West. Would those guys be better than Thor? Yes, but if a Big 10 school is trying to beat out UNO, SDSU or South Dakota for recruits than that is the problem.
 
Mike Daum is a stud, but he turned himself into the player he is at SDSU, not at Kimball. The same could be said about Hahn.
 
Tristan Simpson is having a good career at South Dakota, but he wasn't a Big 10 caliber player.
 
I'd say the only players Nebraska really missed on were, Akoy, Patton, Thomas and Thurman. But for various reasons. Akoy wanted to go play for a Blue Blood program. That's why he went to Louisville out of high school. Patton was a huge project that Creighton took a big shot at, Thomas was a whiff and Thurman had grade issues that caused him to go to UNO rather than a bigger school.
 
While I get that Nebraska has some talent, it's not necessarily talent that is going to win the Big 10. Get the guys that are good each year and find the diamond in the rough type.

Had Moos attended the basketball game one has to wonder if it would have raised our FG% atleast 5 points to get over 25% for the game. 

Can we stop trying to blame the administration for Miles failures. That thought process is laughable. Miles has done nothing to warrant a large extension, why guarantee more money to someone you're likely going to fire. . It was clear he had to prove it this year. Hunter left because he likely knew the Miles was on his way out. It's that simple. 

It's ok, we are all in a pissy mood. And it's well deserved.

That's fair and valid. Thank you for following up. I'm in a pissy mood after seeing Nebrasketball crash & burn.  I answered that 2nd Q in a different thread. It's a shell game, basically. I am not advocating for Miles, btw. I think his Goose is already cooked.
 
 

Since you didn't bother to answer my inquiry on NU players leaving, I have no need to answer this. What is to you, Gov? Did you play college ball?

I believe our fans are considered the greatest because of the consistent sheer numbers we bring to sporting events. In reality tho, our fan base is the same personality-wise as everyone else. Majority good, some overly gracious, some overly sensitive. 
 
If we're going to say we're the greatest fans because we're the "nicest", it's simply just not true.

@ me next time, you coward.

This thread is ridiculous. What about all the players who transferred or left early BEFORE Moos was hired (Biggs, Hawkins, Wagner, Vucetic, Petteway, Pitchford, Smith, White, Evelyn, Hammond, Morrow, Jacobson, Horne)? There are some really good players listed there that we would all LOVE to still have in the program. Is Moos to blame for those? Gonna blame Eichorst? Boehm?
 
Accept the fact that Miles just isn't a very good coach - THAT is why he wasn't extended. Not because Moos wanted to bury the program. That is ludicrous and illogical. Like many, many other Nebrasketball fans, I thought Moos' one-year extension was the correct play.
