Danny Noonan is Fred on Roseanne.

So Jay Wright makes 2.4 mill a year I say we double it and lock him up for 25 years

L-town

Advertising with the Salt Dogs and the Stars would be far more economical than with the Huskers. That shit is expensive.

Sure, why not. Only Duke and Kentucky would be paying more.

For some reason, I'm guessing it's not as easy as just doubling a guy's salary or there would be many major programs doing it. In fact, Nebraska probably would have already done it.

Yeah J it is that simple. Most universities follow my proven method for finding coaches.

 

[gobigred]

Delusion ? Is that a hiring method ?

 

[HuskerPower52]

Raising the bar is.

Just frustrating watching good b-ball. And knowing Nebraska could be there if only we had the right staff.

HP, the problem is.....someone has to suck. You see it in College Football as well....just like you see it in every sport.

You can't just take a program with no tradition and pay for tradition. It's built over a long period of time. Every coach out there knows that, and that's why money only attracts coaches to programs with tradition. Nebraska traditionally is really really bad at basketball......and traditionally coaches come here to end their career.

Nebraska will need to gamble and get the right up and comer who hits it big and puts them on the map. Plain and simple. That guy might still be Miles.....we'll soon find out......this is the most talented group of guys we've had in over a decade.

If he doesn't take Nebraska to the tourney next year, he's probably gone. At that point, Nebraska Basketball will get another up and comer.....because Nebraska Basketball is not a landing pad for star coaches. History shows we have trouble bringing in stud recruits because.....well, kids like to go play at schools they see winning championships on tv.

Have you ever wondered why it seems so simple to us here on this forum to just throw out money and land a coach, but then these guys who are working in the athletic program can't figure that out? Trust me, they try. They're not retarded. They just don't succeed, because money doesn't mask non-tradition.

In reality we'd need to quadrupile a guy like Jay Wright's salary in order to lure him in. We would actually need to become the program with the most highly paid salary in the country.

He's not coming here for 5 million when he's got a Natty and all sorts of things going for him at a proven place like Nova.

It would take 10 million to get his attention at this place.

Now, if we're talking Nebraska Football as opposed to Basketball, that changes things. We do have tradition here in football, and we could lure in a big name in Football if we threw out some cash.

I counter with NW getting Chris Collins. And Tom being to much of a tight wod when he fired Doc and hired Tim. I'd also like to point to evidence "C" the Tom Crean feelers we put out to him. If he knew what SE probably knew at the time. Miles would be fired and Crean would have been our Coach. So I don't think we are going after a up and coming coach. MR was enough of a gamble. SE needs to crush it out of the park this b-ball hire.

Crean was making lil over 3 mill at Indian

Chris Collins is in his first ever stint as a head coach. Nobody had any idea he would take them to the tourney for the first time. To NW it was another up and comer hire. They got lucky and got the right guy.

Just because you're an assistant under one of the all time greats doesn't make you the best candidate in the country to be a head coach. There are several guys out there who fit into that category and we'd be taking a gamble by hiring any of them not having any head coaching experience.

Collins was a gamble.

So. Some guy named @Danny Noonan joined the hoop

Sadly only RA, HISL and I are the only ones old enough to remember him

Hmm, Is he repping the Caddy Shack Danny Noonan or the Husker Danny Noonan?

 

[HuskerPower52]

All coaches are gambles but you can limit the risk by hiring the guy even a first year guy with the right pedigree. He played at Duke coached as a assistant for 13 years at Duke. Learning from the best coach possible. He's over .500 and played in the second round of the turny. Miles might have been the right guy to replace Doc, and now we have raised our bar by going to the tournament. Now we need to replace Miles with a guy that can get us to the next level consistently.

What are you saying? You couldn't tell her sex?

No i dont remember how they were related

 

[HuskerPower52]

Dude Just if they are not going to invest in the basketball coach then why did we put 160 million in a new areana you know how many kids could have gone to college on that. It pays for itself when you invest in winners ask buffet

McDermott could be bought.
