Gates to Minnesota

That’s a kick in the junk. Gates is a good assistant. Minnesota is a step down, as well. Not a good look.

One thing I will give credit for moser for is his ability to replace assistant coaches with quality. He is going to need to do that again.

I feel like our assistant coaches have gotten worse each time he's had to replace somebody.

Agree with it not being a good look.
 
It sucks losing Gates, but if he can hire someone like Brock Morris as a replacement it could be okay.

The turnover in staff hasn't been good- and I believe the stability the last two years can be seen on the bench during games- but he has done a fairly good job on replacements.

He knows how hotter pm's seat is/was. He'll get a guaranteed min of 3 years at Minn with a coach that is trending much more upward than pm. Niko might be at a blueblood in 3 years

Yep, worse program but better coach and more job security.

Saw a clip over the weekend of Sean Farnham, the ESPN analyst (he is really good, BTW). In 2022, when Todd Golden was at San Fran, he predicted that he would be a great power conference coach and make the FF within 6 years. Seeing so many programs make great hires while we flounder around with an older coach with no real upside . . . it just sucks.

What has Hoiberg done since being at Nebraska that tells you he would be able to do anything more than Moser if even what Moser has done the last two years?

Wins and Losses:

7-25
7-20
10-22
16-16
23-11
19-14- this season
 
Gates hasn't stayed at a single spot for more than two years except for his stint at Northwestern. He has left jobs with stability multiple times before. He left Oregon/Dana Altman to come here. He also is not under contract. Humphrey and Custer technically are also out of contract and due for an extension.

First of all, it's Nebraska. It's one of the worst programs of all power conferences. They've made like 2 tourneys since Y2K.. guess who accomplished half of those??

You throw out those first 2 or 3 seasons (is that fair? Idk. It might be, bc his results def have a positive skew), and he's doing a pretty dang good job at nebbish actually IMO.

But I don't even care about his nebbish results.. He is a much more proven winner in a power conference, than pm is (or would ever dream of being). Go look at his career win %, even with nebbish.. it's better than pm. Again, if you take out those initial years at nebbish, look at that career winning %, it's great.

Simply, he's a winner. He's at a dumpster fire program and is circling the drain on relevance. The support he would get at OU (i know, i know) would assuredly be better than Nebraska. bc Nebraska football is even more desperate than ou football. I can't imagine hardly a single cent going to nebbish bball over football rn.

I think he'd come on a decent deal and I think he would jump to go to ou imo and i think hed be a great bridge coach option (if not long-term). We just need the spot

Yes, Nebraska is even more desperate for football success than we are. They are indeed going to pump every possible dollar into football.

Two differences between Nebraska and OU: Their fans will support anything with a big red N on it, no matter how bad the product. They fill their arena win or lose. And, they have a relatively new arena just off campus. Nebraska has built two arenas since Lloyd Noble was built in 1975.

It's a bad basketball job...they've never won an NCAA tournament game. But the bar is lower, as well. And, apparently, Fred gets along with the current AD.

If he wants to ride off into the sunset and irrelevance he certainly could do that at NU. Maybe he even wins a game or 2 someday in the tourney. Maybe its a passion job for him. But it's a far fall from ISU and his careers peak
 
Hoiberg is another guy I’m skeptical of now that the buying recruits game is on/above the table.
