It ain't just Nebraska. It's the chances these schools have to take to try to get better..Nebraska takes another unfit coach and or AD and makes them millionaires for doing nothing more than driving the program into the ground

Strangely, Barry was at the game today. He got a polite round of applause. I think that Collier was probably a better floor coach than Miles, but in all other phases was probably inferior to Miles. Doc was a strange coach - he never seemed to have the players he wanted in his system - not that he had a bad system, just never fit. Good guy, but again not a great coach.I'm starting to believe Miles is a worse coach than either Doc or Barry. Maybe I should have believed that a while ago.
I think it’s easy to get stuck in the moment sometimes. Collier was a train wreck. He couldn’t coach or recruit for crap. His winning percentage should be worse then what it was because his non-cons were softer than Charmin. Doc got his players to sell out on defense, but his offense was way worse than Miles and he couldn’t recruit a lick. Also didn’t play anyone in non-con ever. Give me Miles over those two guys any day of the week. Still though, that’s not saying a whole lot.
Miles has gotten better talent than either Barry or Doc. Especially due to transfers, which was much less common pre-Miles. Give each coach the same set of players on gameday, and I'm not so sure that Miles wouldn't finish 3rd. Miles can only win if he has a couple of stud talents on the floor, playing an opponent that allows them to go all street ball and simply carry the team on athletic superiority.
Anyhow, it's not about being stuck in the moment. Today is simply a reminder of the vast majority of the Miles era.
It sucks. There's only two NU hoops coaches I got excited about upon hiring. Tim Miles and Danny Nee. I actually believed Miles would be better than Nee, but that's not the case. Yes, Nee had great talent. But there were several years that he got a lot more out of that talent than Miles has. Yet Nee was far from a great coach.
This season is so much like 2015-16. All sorts of expectations -- and very valid reasons why with returning talent. Only to see that team underachieve big time.
Does copeland being out give Miles a good excuse and buy another year?
I don't see how nu recovers from his loss.
For Miles, the unfortunate thing is Moos was hoping for a no tourney birth in my opinion.Does copeland being out give Miles a good excuse and buy another year?
