Nebraska cares more about basketball than Wake.
Also, "football school" seems to be a dying concept. Schools that are raking in money for football are just using that to pay bball coaches handsomely
Good one, deacondaughterObviously nothing. however, you and turner think that it will take someone off their game (insult) and its ok.
Almost all of them.
Hoiberg to Nebraska. 7 years, $25M.
If my calculator is correct, that's $3.57M per. Not bad at a football school.
In terms of overall status of the program, how many P6 CBB programs have we fallen behind in Hatch and Wellman's tenure? The list is quite long
Things can change so quickly. Check out the records and ratings for this program:
- 2011 13-19 (5-11) #121
- 2012 8-23 (1-17) #235
- 2013 11-20 (3-15) #239
- 2014 14-18 (6-12) #80
- 2015 13-19 (3-15) #155
5 years. Collective record 59-99 (18-70). Zero post-season bids. Average ranking of #141. Clearly, the worst program in its conference, and among the worst of any Power V program..
Who is it? Texas Tech. Within 4 years of being in the abyss, they have reached two Elite 8s and Final 4, and are two games from a Natty. Any program can turn around quickly with the right leadership.
This year's NCAAT is a pretty great example of the significant impact a good coach can have on a program. Bennett, Beard, Bruce Pearl, Buzz Williams, Kelvin Sampson, Rick Barnes all totally turned those programs around, some in just a year or two. Not to mention guys like Painter, Izzo, Beilein, Leonard Hamilton who overachieved or have otherwise built consistently strong programs.
Va Tech hired Buzz Williams in 2014 and they're making NCAATs on the reg and the Sweet 16.
We hired Danny Manning in 2014 and we suck.
Hopefully Currie is paying attention.
Good one, deacondaughter
