Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Again, after hearing Cook talk about how shit the athletic department has been for 20 years, it sounds like just an overall cultural issue. Schools with good ADs are good in almost everything. It’s extremely rare that a school is only good at 1 or 2 sports. Look at tOSU, OU or even fucking Baylor. Baylor is good at almost every sport on campus.
That's because they let their players rape whoever they want. Volleyball probably being the biggest culprits. Those poor boys on campus.
I doubt the plan is to blow it up again. It may happen if chemistry is so fucking shit that guys just want out, but I think Fred has pieces he should be able to build on.
I mean by blow it up I mean you are likely losing what? 3/4 starters?
Trey and Walker could both be back. So could Bryce if he wants to get drafted high
He might walk if he got a NBA front office position. (don't see it) He should be fired, but he won't be. I'd say the buyout is one thing, but how you could not fire Frost and then turn around and fire Hoiberg....the optics of that look terrible imo. So Nebrasketball has higher expectations than football now? lol. I think that reason is enough that Fred will be back.
Yeah from what the talking heads have said, they don't expect any of them back. You get 2 or 3 from that list and add a point guard then you can be in business.
Agreed, plus looking at some incoming guys Ramel Llyod and Keita are exciting prospects to me. Seem like they could fit the big ten better. I think that's been the problem. It's likely a problem they won't fix either. The run and gun, out shoot people personnel thing isn't working. I don't ever see it working in the big ten. Teams just bully our beloved Nebrasketballerz 🥺
I don't think it's a big ten fit thing. This team wouldn't compete in any major conference with how they play defense and how they shoot.
In my opinion the optics of expectations wouldn't be nearly as bad as the buyout. IF it was affordable, firing Hoiberg for absolutely circling the drain with no progress whatsoever during his entire tenure isn't QUITE the same as firing Frost after what a large chunk of the fanbase saw as "being so close." I don't think most fans would bat an eye about firing Hoiberg after the pathetic display we keep seeing, but firing Frost would have been a very hard sell, regardless of whether it was warranted (which I think it was).
