Nebraska has their coach

this is a really good hire. people will laugh, but nebby a basketball sleeping giant. if they win some games they will haves rabid fan support, and with the addition of bten network money they are going to throw TONS of money at it.

I fully expect them to be respectable going forward.
 
Pretty solid hire, I know some people that live very near CSU and I have always followed the Rams...seems to be a solid coach.

Yes people will laugh. Buwahahahahahahaha!!!!
 
I can't believe how much they are paying him. Is that salary higher than fran's? Great hire for them though solid coach.

How ironic. We love to tell Nebraska football fans to take their history and shove it, and now your using their same argument. FAIL.

Not at all. Playing a Big 8 football schedule along with enough cupcakes to fill a bakery in no way compares to earning your stripes playing B1G basketball over the years.

Yes. Fran's salary I believe is $1.2 million. Nebraska has more $$$ to throw around though. Miles also has done same as Fran - building a program - but at a bigger school and in better conference than anywhere Fran's been. Miles has proven it on a "bigger" level. He's a solid hire. Nebraska will be a threat to Iowa in a few years.
 
here's the thing. osborne wants high level basketball. he proved that when he fired doc. he proved it again when layed down 1.2 per year to get his guy. the ad is flush with cash after the bten merger, and its obvious they are willing to spend it, towards facilities, and for a coach. basketball is the ONE sport where a fist full of dollars, a good hire, and one good recruiting class can turn everything around.

And if they lock down Chicago too? I don't even want to think about it.

This! No matter what Nebby fan says, the schedule they played in the 60's and early 70's were full of Sister's of the Poor.
 
Sleeping giant my a$$. Creighton is the only show in that one horse state. The state ain't big enough for two to be successful.

The new arena didn't hurt in finding a coach either.

Is this the bank that buys up all of the unsold football tickets to keep the sellout streak alive? Can't remember the name. Went to college out there and my best friend's mom worked at "the bank" that bought them up. Was able to go to several games this way. Hadn't really thought about it until I saw the arena was named for a bank.

yeah, like uni (and Drake), creighton is only one bad hire away from mediocrity. they have no recruiting base, no national exposure, no facilities advantage. its all about the guy in charge.
