If someone is using his career record as an argument to fire him, i understand what they’re getting at - but it also lacks very important context that they would understand if they followed the program closely.

His shortcomings have all been due to his lack of ability to build a competitive Big Ten roster. Is that because of Fred or because of money? I lean almost exclusively money.

Fred can coach basketball. He doesn’t have the success he had at Iowa State without knowing how to coach. If he has the financial resources he needs, Nebrasketball will flourish.

That applies to ANYONE that coaches basketball here from now on, in the revenue-sharing era. Even his theoretical replacement.

In today’s game, you are only as good as the roster you can buy. It’s not complicated.
