If you can’t beat them steal their coach

Time for Niko to Minnesota to come out

He was about 3 seconds way from being the new coach at Villanova. Now it’ll end up being Cronin.

 

[Goskers07]

Would Crutchfield leave Omaha? He's pretty dug in as an alumnus, right?

He has some very angry shoes to fill.

I don't think we should've fired Hoiberg given his contract.

That being said, I do not like the fact that this was a very fruitful off-season of coaches we could've hired if we made a move, and a lot of them are going to be coaching against us in the B1G now (Devries, McCollum, Medved).

I just texted a couple buddies pretty much the same thing. It's killing me watching these other schools hire quality coaches meanwhile have to sit here and hope and pray Fred figures it the fuck out.

My thing is we simply don’t know this though. Everybody thought that Groce when he got hired at Illinois was this incredible hire, Archie Miller at Indiana, the list of failed coaches goes on and on.

Couldn’t agree more. Wish we would have moved on from Fred but good coaches will always be available and they might not pan out either. People thought hiring Fred was a slam dunk and look how it has turned out. Can’t say it’s been great.

Sure they could end up being busts, that can be said about any coach making the jump. You don't know until you know. I think they will all do fairly well, personally. They're all well above .500 for their careers, with Medved being the lowest at .627.

If given the choice, would you fire Fred and hire one of those 3 instead (contract issue aside)? I would

I think Devries could initially struggle at IU. I mean he didn’t exactly kill it in year 1 at WVU. Give or take his son being out.

Ben & Niko are going to need more NIL than what the previous coach had. They aren’t walking into the best situation.

Would I take any of these coaches? Yep. But they will all have their work cut out for them.

Completely agree. Let’s not forget—we’re talking about Nebraska. Would Medved leave CSU for NU? Or DeVries or McCollum? My guess is no.

Nebraska hasn’t yet proven to be a place where a coach can win consistently. I remember when Miles was hired from CSU, and there was so much hype around him for turning that program around. But at the end of the day, NU still struggles to establish itself as a competitive destination.

If you ranked Power 5 coaching jobs, Nebraska would likely be near the bottom, probably last. It’s a tough sell. This isn’t necessarily a defense of Fred, but rather a reality check—many coaches would likely pass on NU and wait for a better opportunity elsewhere.

All of the guys but Devries are in pretty much the same mold of the guys we’ve previously had. So I’m not sure the shiny new toy argument is going to work on me this time.

If we find ourselves in the market, I’d probably be in the camp that wants to hire a retread who was at a big time job but it didn’t work out there but has proven to still be a solid coach.

Will Wade probably would have been my first call if I were searching for a coach.

Sadler I would say fits the same mold. Miles I would disagree on. He was an average coach at CSU with a few upsets that brought too much hype imo.

I would be all in on Wade.
