Early Break: The situation that many feared for Nebraska with Bill Moos just happened at Texas A&M

April 18, 2019 by Leave a Comment
  • Scott Woodward, the A.D. at Texas A&M who hired Jimbo Fisher last offseason and JUST hired Buzz Williams for basketball, announced he was taking the LSU job after Joe Alleva stepped down from the position
  • The rumor for a while has been saying that Bill Moos would step down soon, despite just landing 2 marquee coaches…how should A&M’s new coaches feel toward Woodward? Understanding, or pissed?

Early Break: Which program will recruit at a higher level going forward at Nebraska: football or men’s basketball?

April 17, 2019 by Leave a Comment
  • Is this as easy of an answer as you think it should be? The easy answer is Scott Frost; look what he’s done already with guys like Adrian Martinez in elevating his play since he got here, and other guys. But can Frost consistently land a ton of 4 and 5 star guys? Maybe, but that’s tough
  • Basketball, as we know, is nowhere near the same prestige level of football. But……they ARE now paying their assistants a lot of money, including the 2nd and 5th highest paid assistants in the conference (Matt Abdelmassih, Doc Sadler)….which makes you expect more in recruiting. Will they ever get higher classes than what football gets? Interesting conversation.

Early Break: So this Doc Sadler thing is going to happen..

April 12, 2019 by Leave a Comment
  • Think about how crazy that is—Sadler was fired by Nebraska in 2012, yet he resigns from his head coaching position yesterday at Southern Miss—where he won 20 games this year—to likely come back to Nebraska and be an assistant coach. When does that happen anywhere, ever?!
  • Also, Fred Hoiberg confirmed on the Jon Rothstein podcast (we have audio) that he is retaining Armon Gates and has Bobby Lutz on the staff in some regard
  • Who will get bigger cheers at basketball games…Hoiberg or Sadler?

Early Break: Texas Tech is in the national championship tonight…does Nebrasketball have the right formula with Fred Hoiberg?

April 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment
  • Texas Tech is incredible defensively, and has built a culture in doing so….and a good tweet showing the team they have and what their recruiting rankings shows what a great job Chris Beard has done with development
  • Both teams in tonight’s national championship are built firmly on defense…Fred Hoiberg has never really been known for that, but actually as an offensive juggernaut…does his coaching philosophy fit in for a long, productive run in the Big Dance?

  • Life comes at you fast—Nebraska all of a sudden is at the top, there. Others in conversation? Dantonio/Izzo (Michigan State); Harbaugh/Beilein (Michigan); then who? Malzahn/Pearl (Auburn)?

March 28, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Early Break: Are we sure that Fred Hoiberg is a ‘pie in the sky’ dream for Nebrasketball?

February 21, 2019 by Leave a Comment
  • It’s time to take a deeper dive into what people tried to play off as a possibility when (if) Nebrasketball moves on from Tim Miles after this season. Is part of the reason of why people think it’s not possible is because of national hoops analysts asking who could do a better job that Miles has done? That’s foolish.
  • Sorensen would love nothing more than to get a big fish like Hoiberg or someone else so that all these national guys would eat crow for thinking this place could never do better. It would be glorious crow
  • Both Sip and Jake have had sources saying there might be interest from Hoiberg. Is it as crazy to think he might be a candidate than previously thought?
