Hoiberg to Nebraska?

Sounding like a done deal, $4 mil a year for seven years. With their facilities and Fred’s ability to land transfers, they will be an immediate force. Add his NBA ties, and he will win there.

This has always been Nebby’s problem. They think they can just throw a ton of money at something and end up dominating a sport the way they have with women’s volleyball and bowling, but it just doesn’t work that way with the higher profile sports.
Lol...who has Neb thrown a ton of money at? Riley? Miles? Pelini? Frost was paid market value. Bob Diaco was the only football guy I can think of that they threw a lot of money at and it ended up terrible.

Wait wait...we'll trade you Fran for Tim but you have to take Frans buyout. Deal?
 
Question would he be able to get the same deal from the Lincoln cops as he got in Ames? If not he won't take it. You know what kind of players he wants.
 
It’ll be interesting. I don’t care now but if he does something like sign Tamin Lipsay out from under Iowa State I’ll be kinda annoyed.

They would be pissed if he went to Kansas, most would not care if he went to Nebraska and probably would enjoy it because he would be a thorn in Iowa 's paw.

This is accurate imo. Cyclones fans would be fired up if he went to another Big 12 school or Iowa, but not much of an issue going to Nebraska especially with the family history.

Clone fans got all creepy and weird when Hoibergs daughter went to KU...I can't imagine what they would do if Fred ended up there.

Not just cops but academics. ISU basketball transfers that have either been kicked out due to crimes committed or flunked out do to academics never have any trouble once they enroli at ISU.

They want the 90s back to just like other fans...

Fact..

Which ones flunked out and then transferred to Iowa State? That would be an ncaa violation if you can prove it.

You do understand that she went to school to be a nurse, and going to Iowa would NEVER be considered. She actually interned for Bill Self. Rumor has it that Bill Self is going to the Bulls. So I have to think that Fred might want to wait to hear on that. If KU opens up he would be at the top of the list.

I’m not talking about the sports where they’ve historically struggled. I’m talking about the ones where they’ve become established blue bloods—the women’s volleyball coach, Cook, and women’s bowling, I forget his name.

That’s probably the main reason he wants the job, right behind having an administration that will let him build through free agency.

Why can Iowa never make hires like this? Oh, I keep forgetting....what would it look like to the rest of christian society to fire a .500 coach after only nine (9) years? Not the "Iowa way" to do things....blah, blah, blah.

Hardly.......

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

Fred gave some kids who had made stupid mistakes second chances. None of them were bad young men or bad teammates. If he goes to NU, they will immediately be regular NCAA participants, the tournament losing streak will end, and their fans will love the guy. Fun style of ball. Great ambassador of his alma mater. Pure class.

He won’t invest in recruiting 5 star kids that end up at UNLV with a handler landing a job or a pocket full of cash. That soured him on recruiting. He’ll go after the 4 star kids who get to the NBA after four years.

Was BDJ a good teammate?

None of this changes the fact that there were Clone fans who were really weird with her going to KU.
 
All I know if he takes the job he better be scouring the transfer market asap. They are going to be awful next year especially if Roby goes pro.

Don't remember seeing that. Probably some of that fake news that's going around.
 
On a sidenote: Don't you love the way of journalism today: "says a source..." ... "A source close to the situation ..." As a former journalist, it drives me crazy all of these anonymous sources :)
As a former journalist, I absolutely agree. In the old days, you used an anonymous source only as an absolute last resort. Some reporters never used one. I always assumed, when I saw a reference to an anonymous source in a story, that the odds were at least 50-50 that the "source" was the reporter.

It seems since Woodstein that reporters actually start out by offering anonymity, and think it adds credibility to a story. That's simply nuts.

If I were going to offer a source anonymity, I would do so on one condition: If it turned out the information was wrong, I could identify the source.

Thumbs up post!
 
as an isu fan i would be giddy if fred went to kansas.
ive been looking for a way to unite the cyclone fanbase against him for years.
my ban on cf ends april 12 so hopefully nothing happens before then.
also im a strong believer that fred got sick of ames because he was fawned over too much.
my guess is this would be perfect for him to go to kansas because he could finally get the fawning to stop coming from ames.
hoiberg came back to a game this year i think it was baylor and of course we lose [i knew we would because of him] and the fans would just fawn over him and annoy him. all he wanted to do was watch a game and drunken idiots want to shake his hand every 5 minutes.
ku will not fawn over him and in fact it will be more of a hate/accept relationship. if he wins they accept him as their coach if he loses they will hate him.
