Hoiberg Hired!!!

HuskersNC949597 said:
Honestly becoming hard to argue. It really makes me question the rumors that were floating around about him. If he has such an out-of-control drinking problem, how is he pulling this stuff off?

Anyone who questioned the timing and thought Miles was left "twisting in the wind" looks like a moron, IMO. Miles knew damn well where he stood based on the goals laid out before the season started, everything fell in to place as well as Nebraska basketball fans could have expected. I don't know if Hoiberg will bring Nebraska their first NCAA tournament win in school history, but I do know he has as good a shot as any of the other realistic candidates out there. Not messing around with questionable mid-major hires is a huge change of philosophy, and it's about time.

If that powerhouse to our east he coached at is any indication,I think were headed to the tournament, and wins.
If small schools can recruit their way into the final fours etc, let some of those guys come to a filled out arena in a much larger environment,playing many more ,and greater opponents.

I want to applaud Moos as much as anybody, but the cold, hard truth of the matter is that Bill is simply doing what all strong, quality organizations do when looking for a new leader: Go with experienced and successful people who have "been there and done that" at the top level.

If you expect to compete at the highest levels, D1 head coaching positions at Power 5 schools aren't 'take a stab at somebody and cross your fingers' jobs.

It's about time. I was correct about the money to throw down for salary. We have it and dang glad we forked it over. I believe Hoiberg will have NU in the NCAA tourney and a win within the 1st 2 years. JMO. I haven't ever been this exicted about Nebrasketball. Finally the Atheletic Dept is showing they are taking Men's Hoops seriously.

To anyone who thinks Nebraska basketball is "cursed", coaching matters. We're finally trying.

Funny how curses seem to follow programs who refuse to fork over the bucks necessary to hire highly successful coaches with experience.

It doesn't guarantee success, but you've certainly got a much better chance. We've sure as hell seen how successful the alternative has been since 1946 in BB and in football since TO retired.

So happy this has finally happened. I will admit I was one that felt Moos didn't do the firing part correctly but I'm an impatient person and the writing was on the wall for Miles. So feel free to take shots at me. One thing with my impatience is that I forget that there are/were lots of hoops that needed to be jumped through in this entire process that it still only took only a measly 4-5 days to accomplish.
Two things that already amaze about this hire and I haven't seen anyone post anything here yet. But some people (other social media) are ready to name the court after Hoiberg when he hasn't even coached a game and has a long way to go to get this program where we all hope it gets. While a few others are calling this a ho-hum hire and Nebraska will always be a bottom feeder when it comes to NCAA basketball.
But right now it is exciting to see this type of commitment made to Nebraska mens' basketball. I'm going to celebrate with a couple cold ones this evening.

My surprise is that the announcement has been publicly made at this point. Someone posted on here that the job had to be posted for 7 days. Miles was fired Tuesday. I guess with Moos not making the official announcement until Tuesday they have covered themselves. Except that Huskers.com already has Hoiberg listed as the new coach. Just leaves me a tad confused what the correct protocol is.

Talked to my ISU brother a bit ago. He reiterated what a great hire Hoiberg will be, class act, good family man, etc.

No one should be mad at anybody, firing someone sucks, to the one fired, to those who expected more.
It makes it tougher firing a class act type, like Miles, and the waters are easily poisoned, and some drink from them.
Facts at a personal level are held by few, allowing for easy corruption to many.
The good guys won this one, the ones who just want the Huskers better, not how they look, but actually care, bringing it back to exactly how hard it is to let go Miles.
You'll get no complaints from me.

Oh no, my anger was at the local and national media who seemed to be trying to undermine the AD :oops: Guys like Andy Katz saying Nebraska should never aim higher than a 116-114 record in 7 years :smirk2:

I don't know if it's true or not but I read on another site that exceptions to the 7 day rule can be made for a high paying/high profile job like this.

I can accept that. Just a bit befuddled having read seven days and here it is 5 days. All, is good!
 
I have to run errands today and come home this this.. Man, now we have to wait 7 months before our first game.
