Sources: Nebraska will throw big offer at John Groce

If he doesn't roll with it, we'll shift our efforts to Tim Miles. When both of them laugh at us, we'll hire Erick Strickland.

Okay I made that last part up :ss:

You didn't make that last part up. You know that that is your real first choice. Stop denying the inevitable.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

True, both of them will laugh at us

^^ your source?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Woah.......no, Andy Katz is not my source........but that sure makes my source sound a little more credible now that Katz is saying the same thing

Groce wants nothing to do with us. Book it.

I'm a hardcore Duke homer, so take this comment with a grain of salt... But why not Chris Collins or Jeff Caple???

 

[Brasky]

why would you leave the mecca of college basketball for nebraska??

 

[spdybeaver]

I think Collins is the "next in line" no? And Caple is just a year removed from ruining the Oklahoma basketball program with NCAA recruiting violations. I think his temperature is fairly cool on the job front right now.

I'd be more apt to take on WoJo just for the fact that he's not 1st in line for the Duke job. We won't get any of those guys though. Look what it took for Tommy Amaker to step away! Michigan, historically much stronger than us. Look what happened to him? Got his ass canned. Landed on his feet @ Harvard?

Say what you will about his job at Harvard, which has been great. That was one of the WORST jobs in all of D-I college basketball. Not just Power 6 schools but EVERYWHERE. Amaker made Harvard relevant. Hard to believe that either of those two (collins, wojo) are going to take that leap of faith after what they saw happen to Amaker.

Everyone needs to lower their expectations as much as possible.. Nebrasketball is back from the dead to go for your jugular guise.

 

[spdybeaver]

We won't hire anyone with a solid name...that's just not who we can be right now.

We are where coaches go to die. Hopefully, we can convince some sucker to come in here and babysit our brand new facilities while we wait for the spring game.

I expect Groce to get a big offer by Nebrasketball standards

$1.4 million/yr for 5 yrs

ie...Half million $$ more than Doc was making.

It ain't gonna be enough tho

 

[Brasky]

2 million is the number floating around.
