Minnesota fires Tubby

[huskers1217]

I don't understand this move...

 

[MISKO]

this is no surprise .. they have been talking about this for weeks that if tubby didnt get past the second round he would be gone

 

[tabascojet]

where is shanesman.......i told you so.

Losing to current Nebrasketball doesn't help one's job security.

I hope they stay away from Tim Miles. That would be one of the only schools he'd seriously consider IMO.

 

[MISKO]

I forget who they said that they wanted to hire as a coach

probably want to go back in a time machine and hire wooden when he wanted that job over ucla....

 

[MISKO]

they have been talking about it on the local radio stations today

The #2, #9, and #40 recruits in the Class of 2014 are from Minnesota. The #1 recruit (from Chicago) has said he will go wherever #2 goes. The #34 recruit is #1's high school teammate and will likely go where he goes.

Minnesota thinks they have the chance for a short-term dynasty, so they are going to try to bring in a coach that can land those guys. Apparently, the recruits didn't like Tubby.

send him to Lubbock

Wait, Wiggins isn't one of the top two recruits?

Wiggins reclassified to 2013. He'll be playing NCAABB next year.

could have saved a lot of money on his buyout by not signing hm, for 3 more years this past july.

Was there something internally going on because on the outside, I'm like who the eff does Minny think they can get that's better, it's Minny. Which makes me think its something like VT had with Greenberg. He was arguably our most successful coach ever but we fired him because he had become a pretty big douche that pissed off a lot of people in the department and drove away assistants/players. So on the outside you're like "WTF is VT doing" but its just because you don't know all the details

No, he was just a shitty coach. He had one of the best shooters in America on his team, and they never figured out he should be the guy taking the shot at the end of the shot clock. His teams always came out flat. They let up tons of wide open threes.

If you have the best shooter in a conference and the best rebounder and the best true athlete, you should be better than 8-10. They weren't.

They also probably think they can get Shaka Smart, because Shaka is from the Midwest (Madison) and his old AD is Norwood Teague from MN. I don't think they'll get him, but they'll still likely get an upgrade from Tubby if they conduct a good national search.

UCLA's probably got the edge on Shaka Smart.

He got to tourney and won a game. What do they expect a Final Four

GL finding a better one than this guy

Not really. Minnesota's AD was once the VCU AD, and several of his staff went with him from VCU to Minnesota. Also, it's being reported that Smart was seen in the Minneapolis airport this afternoon.
