Tim Miles FIRED at Nebraska
- Thread starter Fro
- Start date
‘Once ranked in the Top 25 and seemingly a surefire tournament team following an 11-2 start, the Huskers completely collapsed to lose 15 of their final 23 games despite advancing to the quarterfinals with two wins at the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago and earning a No. 4 seed in the National Invitation Tournament.’
I don't like Miles. I am glad.
Does Hoiberg take this or wait to see if UCLA, or another opening such as Kansas is available?
Michael Lewis is now available. I would like to see him get a head coaching position, but he would be my first choice if we had an assistant opening.

I guess I get why they fired him. But I think he’s a pretty good coach whose teams seemed to outperform their limited (by B10 standards, anyway) talent.
It’ll be interesting to see if his replacement will be able to make them any better.

Miles was a geek I remember a couple years ago he tweeted at halftimes what coach tweets while your playing?
Dude - all you had to do was watch his post game dance a couple weeks ago...geek indeed...
though that should have nothing to do w winning and preparing to win basketball games. Archie seems scared to show whatba geek he is, and scared to win or prepare to win basketball games...
Look at who got injured (just in time to play Purdue) to start that streak. Not saying he doesn't deserve to lose his job for not being able to put together a roster capable of competing by this point, but this season alone is a bad way to judge him vs the length of his time there.....but our fans love to judge our team/coaches based on individual games and rosters they haven't had a chance to put together. Pro sports mentality doesn't work in a system where you keep players 1-4 years....
The most normal quote i've ever seen Miles make. Dude just wants to chill and move on.
I really appeciated MLewis as an IU player. I believe he got more out of his ability than any 5'10 player at IU ever.
But Lewis was ineffective as a recruiter at Nebraska. Rivals ranked the last three classes at Nebraska 11, 13 and currently 11 out of 14 B1G teams. One 4 star in 3 years (7, 3 stars and 1,unranked). The 2018 class was 73rd nationally and 2019 is currently 64th nationally. Whoever succeeds Miles has a talent hole to dig out of. Hoiberg specializes in jucos and transfers, so he is my guess as the best choice for a quick fix.
Why are you so high on Lewis as your "first choice"?
would you want to go to Nebraska for basketball?
I think IU faces the same football dilemma.
If you are B10 quality, why go there instead of other schools...
So they take risks on the next step down...
I appreciate what Nebraska is trying to do in basketball. They are putting effort into it. Their arena, I’m sorry, makes SSAH look like a dump. They have outclassed IU in facilities. And, they have money to do it.
Since 1950, IU vs Nebraska is 6-6.
I believe they have won 5 of last 6 against IU?
Who is looking down their nose?
Quite frankly kids, we’ve been their beootch. So please, stop with your smack talk nonsense.
Time for little IU to put up or shut up....or fade into basketball obscurity for forever.
Ahh— being rich ain’t everything but it sure must make getting fired go down smoother than they crap juice he just called Coord Light lol
I don’t totally disagree but am finally digging the doom n groomers’ sign offs!
Like, read this reply or you may lose the ability to see forever...
I like it
It’s a sad time when even Nebraska has higher standards for their basketball program than we do.
Love,
fpeaugh
Actually, though I don’t like Alford as a coach, he is an exceptional recruiter which might make a good fit for Nebraska. Miles seemed to be a decent coach but Xs and Os are not Nebraska’s problem, getting really good players to spend 3-4 years in Lincoln, Nebraska is.
