We have one of the historically worse programs ever, have made the tournament once in the last nineteen years or so, our program has taken a nosedive with one of its most talented rosters ever and you want to criticize the fans?!  

UNL is lucky to have the basketball fans they do, anywhere else there wouldn’t be this kind of support.

Just curious, why would the amount of people cheering for Creighton make you sick? It was their home game.

 

Because those same people cheer for Nebraska in football.

Just got home from the game.  Frustrating game and officiating, we look so much better than we have in a while though.  The amount of people cheering for Creighton at the game made me sick.

He'll probably go the analyst route.  That's what all these guys are doing the days aren't they?

Definitely a possibility.

Would LOVE this, but he was recently quoted as saying he doesn't miss coaching college basketball. He prefers coaching professional basketball. ?

Not sure he’ll have much choice in the matter.

Why not just make a run at the guy in Omaha who we can't seem to beat.

Lol, if Mcdermott didn’t leave for Ohio State he’s not leaving for us.

Hoiberg isn’t going to survive this season, would be nice to take a run at him.

edit:  Also, I would rather be awful forever than hire Pitino, that guy epitomizes everything that is wrong with college basketball.

Copeland looked like a man out there, I will take 12-14 from the field every day, awesome job.

Dale, you're like the angel of death.  You show up when things look bleak and everyone kind of checks their pulse to make sure they're not the ones dying.

 

When you show up it means something bad happened.

 

Norm, you’re like a labrador.  Dumb as shit but always sees the good in things.  Please never change.

Miles will be fired after his season, until then we’ll get a bunch of the same.  We’ll see bad games like this that are almost unwatchable and others where the team will come out and look good, ultimately I’ll be surprised if we crack .500.

Oh, c'mon, Dale.  If I was the incoming AD (which I'm not) then I could see you making that point.  It wasn't a boast; it wasn't a sales pitch; it was just a spontaneous statement that seemed like he wanted to be able to share his excitement and optimism.  There was almost a giddiness in his tone of voice that I hadn't really seen before.  Had nothing whatsoever to do with "knowing he's on the brink of being fired," which I don't think is his mindset at all.

 

Would you piss in someone else's cornflakes please?

I'm sorry for urinating in your cereal.  

Forgive me for not getting too excited for Mile's optimism, he hasn't really done anything lately to garner any trust in his in game and in season coaching abilities.

This is different.  Way different.

 

Privately, going into the '14-'15 season, Miles wasn't sure if we were really that good in '13-'14 or if we just got hot at the end of the year. So, he wasn't strongly confident going into '14-'15.

 

I don't think anyone was legitimately optimistic going into last year. Hopeful?  Maybe.  Confident?  If we'd had Andrew White coming back, perhaps.  But legitimately confident about last year?  Nooo.

 

This is different.  This is a coach who, under the circumstances, didn't have to say anything at all.  But instead, he said "You're really going to like this team."

 

 

The guy knows he's on the brink of being fired, he's trying to be optimistic.  Unfortunately, not much is gonna change this year, maybe a nice NIT win.

This ship is taking on water fast.

 It's certainly not the best possible outcome for me. I'm not getting any younger. Starting over with a new coach doesn't guarantee success and puts the timetable for when we can expect that new coach to succeed that many more years down the road. 

 

 I am led to understand that no further transfers are anticipated. That would obviously change if there is a coaching change here. If there is no coaching change and if there are no further transfers, which is what I understand the case to be, then I think this is a tournament team that we will have next year. 

 

 It would have been better with Ed Morrow, but I still think it is a tournament team even without him. If that turns out not to be the case, and we don't make the dance, then Miles will almost certainly be gone. But I'd like to have an opportunity to see what this team would do with the pieces we will have next year.

I'll bet you some scratch if no other players transfer and Miles is not retained they won't make the tournament.

Michael Flynn was the lead recruiter on this one, give credit where it's due.

Please let this happen, best for all parties.

Lol, tigerboard might as well be 4chan with more cousin connections.  The absolute last place you should find for news.

Craig has used the same plan that Tim used when he first came to NU--relying heavily on transfers. 

You are referring to their recruiting methods, I am referring to their coaching ability and intellect.

Also, just to make it clear I am not endorsing or stating Craig Smith should be Nebraska's new coach.  That would be unwise for Nebraska and Smith.

This has really turned into a tough position.  I can see both sides, we have everybody coming back next year minus Webster plus our two transfers.  But then again I understand the other side of thinking that even with talent you can't see Miles being able to coach them to a good season.

I really wonder how much of Mile's success was due to Craig Smith, Smith was with him at all the successful stops and Mile's only successful year at Nebraska and now has coached South Dakota to one of the best seasons they've had in years.

Regaardless the decision made Eichorst is going to unfairly catch grief either way.  If he fires Miles then he didn't give him a chance to coach the best roster he would have had.  If he keeps him then he's keeping the coach after three failed seasons and it doesn't matter how much talent he had.

in the end, I'll accept either decision made because I can't really fault whichever way they go on this.  I will say this though, if you do fire him then open up the checkbook and make a big boy hire, no more mid major coaches.  Been there, done that.

I like Miles but this is just a very clear sign that things are not going to get much better.  Might be time to move on.

No home Saturday games really sucks. Not cool Big Ten.

While we all may disagree with how this was handled, I think we all can agree Dirk Chatelain is a moron.

To me, it seems pretty reasonable that Nebraska would want him to reclassify to 2018, so he can play his "senior year" of high school at a prep school, before starting his college career at Nebraska...

 

Maybe Miles should have offered to pay for said extra year of high school.

While I don't like this situation, get the F off a Nebraska board.

Don't really like any of this after reading Chubick's quote. This is a bush league move by Miles.

I don't think miles did anything wrong. If Miles doesn't see a role for him on the team, why would Arop want to come here?

The kids been committed for how long and you are just recently telling him to go to a prep school for a year?

Don't really like any of this after reading Chubick's quote. This is a bush league move by Miles.

He's going to Louisville.
