What’s funny in comparison is what TJ has done in 7 months. Fred hasn’t gotten in done in 3 years
These ADs get absolutely WORKED by agents. It's embarrassing.
Fred has some pretty good ties with Nebraska having a grandfather that coached them.Frost (Football HC) - Played at Nebraska
Bolt (Baseball HC) - Played at Nebraska
Williams (WBB HC) - Played at Nebraska
Alberts (AD) - Played at Nebraska
When it comes to the major sports, Fred is the outsider in the UNL coaching tree. Look for him to be replaced with....................well, somebody who played Nebrasketball.
(I mean, Tyronn Lue coached LeBron, so there is that.)
He had a losing record also.Fred has some pretty good ties with Nebraska having a grandfather that coached them.

The Nebraska job has been the interesting case so far.
Some people on here didn’t think he could overcome the disadvantages there. Others thought he could clear the low bar of winning a single tournament game.
I don’t think anyone predicted that it would go THIS poorly.
I was trying to be diplomaticLess than favorable?
The Titanic sprang a small leak.
The Hindenburg suffered temperature issues.
Dont forget (3) "mailing it in".
High level mgmt job like a cbb coach, you gotta work your butt off. Especially to turn a program around. It looks like cfh doesnt have the drive or ambition required anymore to work that hard. And if you are giving 50%, so will all your staff and players.
I just think he fleeced Nebby, knowing he didnt really care much and wasnt going to give the 210% danny mac levels of effort required to succeed.
As far as next job... he needs something with tons less responsibility. Until and unless his ambition returns, he should be a shooting coach, or mid level nba office guy. Or just start a foundation and call it a day.
I officially nominate this for a 2022 Clonie Post of the Year award.Im sick of you of fair weather fans bringing our prodigal son down. Do you not see his work for what it is?
A proud Cyclone man, who’s done nothing but win games as a player and coach for us. Then takes a massive paycheck to go keep his foot firmly on Nebrasketballs neck for the foreseeable future.
Thanks Fred. I’m one of few who truly appreciate the gifts you’ve given us.
I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Iowa State's defense when Kyle Green leaves. Maybe his wife keeps him anchored in the vicinity of Cedar Falls, but his kids are almost out of school. I could easily see somebody writing him a big check to come and fix their defense or him being offered the UNI job.
We're all a bunch of jaded lovers. Let's be honest. When Hoiball was rolling in Ames and Fred would come out to Let It Rock, it was like we were all at the prom with the hottest chick in the universe.
I think the Little Cyclones are having a good year, otherwise Ames High could be next dream job except whole fish bowl thing.
Is Julius Michalik still coaching Fort Dodge, maybe he needs an assistant? Taco Tico time!

Julius has moved on to Ridgeview HS in Pisgah.
Just saying Fred has ties with Nebraska. I'd imagine like Frost it will help a bit with him hanging onto his job. Money being the only real reason I can see NU hanging on to him though.His grandfather coached from 1954-63
81-132. .380 overall
38-80. .322 conference
Ridgeview HS in Holstein, IA or
West Harrison HS (Pisgah) ?
Right. I was just pointing out that pretty much all of the people coaching the major sports have played for Nebby except for Fred. I don't know if there's another school with close to the amount of alumni serving in head coaching roles as Nebby, but it kind of sends the signal that they aren't good enough to lure top tier coaching to the State anymore (not to diss the coaches that actually are successful though).Fred has some pretty good ties with Nebraska having a grandfather that coached them.
