Highly Incompetent Athletic Director Makes Best Hire in School's Entire Basketball History (Satire)


Lincoln, NE - In his latest act as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's athletic director, the highly incompetent Bill Moos secured the most impressive basketball head coaching hire in the school's history.

The clearly "in over his head" athletic director introduced Fred Hoiberg as Nebraska's new head basketball coach at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. The hiring of Hoiberg, which has been unanimously praised both locally and nationally, is the latest in a myriad of miserable successes that has plagued Moos' tenure at Nebraska.
Moos, who handled the coaching change "horribly" according to many local and national media pundits, secured the impressive hire just 15 months after making one of the most exciting hires in the storied football program's history by bringing home native son Scott Frost. On major coaching changes it appears Moos is a perfect 2 for 2, raising serious questions about his ability to lead Nebraska's athletic department into the future.

Detractors of Moos point out his “cruelty” in waiting for former Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles to return home from Fort Worth, Texas to relieve him of his position instead of firing him immediately while on the plane home.  Others criticized the embattled athletic director for sticking to the policy he's had his entire career of waiting for the season to end before making a coaching change, a policy he has stated on numerous ocassions that he will always stand by. Some critics even pointed to Moos' rumored drinking problem that they had completely made up as irrefutable evidence of why Moos and the university should part ways.
Omaha World-Herald staff-writer Dirk Chatelain, who less than 2 weeks ago accused Moos of completely botching the impending coaching change and for treating the basketball program as a "second class sport," offered enormous praise for the hire, referring to Hoiberg as "Nebraska basketball's version of Bob Devaney" and writing that it gives Nebraska basketball "instant national credibility." 

"It's hard to put into words how exciting this hire is for Nebraska basketball. Combine this with the hiring of Frost and the unbelievable support he's given him and his staff to resurrect the football program and this clearly underlines some alarming issues stemming from the athletic department's head man," Chatelain probably said, or thought, or at the very least implied.

Several fans of the basketball program agreed with many of the opinions offered up by Moos' critics in the media.

"NU could not have handled this more poorly," one fan commented on the Omaha World-Herald's website before quite literally praising the incredible and suave professionalism on display with the Hoiberg hire just 3 days later. When asked to further elaborate on his initial comment, the fan simply replied "Moos man bad."

BREAKTHROUGH: After Decades of 'N is for Knowledge,' World's Scientists Announce Creation of 2nd Nebraska Joke

After over four decades of milking the exact same joke about Nebraska football, the world's top scientists in every major field of research have come together to announce the creation of a 2nd joke. The original joke simply proclaims the 'N' on the side of Nebraska's football helmet stands for 'Knowledge.' They announced this breakthrough was the culmination of 10 years of collaborative research and over $250 billion spent. "Normally we'd spend that kind of time and resources on medical advances, technological breakthroughs, more efficient methods of engineering and manufacturing, but this joke had just gotten so stale. We eventually came to the conclusion that the best possible service we could do for society was to help them out of this rut," world-renowned quantum theorist Alain Aspect said. "I mean, come on! The joke doesn't even make sense. By the very structure of the joke, the joke teller is the one insisting the N stands for knowle...

Lil' Red in Concussion Protocol after Jumping on Head

Lincoln, NE - The Nebraska football team will be without it's beloved inflatable toddler as it opens fall camp next week. The (Faux)maha World-Herald has confirmed Lil' Red has entered concussion protocol after multiple incidents of bouncing on his own head with absolutely no protection or safety equipment. It's been a rough offseason for Lil' Red, who has just finished recovering from multiple stab wounds received from a sect of deranged fans who believe that "sacrificing" the mascot would "break the curse" on Nebraska football. Lil' Red is entering his 20th season of eligibility for the Huskers and was expected to contribute as the 2nd man in the mascot tandem-bike routine.  "It'll just be the next man up," Frost told reporters on Wednesday. Corn Cob Man is expected to go into fall camp as the starter. He hasn't seen game action for a few decades, but he's been "hungry" for his shot, he told reporters. "Sorr...

To Break Nebraska Football Curse, Frank Solich to Sacrifice 'Lil Red at Halftime of Fordham Game

Lincoln, NE - After finding yet another Rock Bottom last week at Illinois, Nebraska football finds itself growing increasingly desperate to break the almost 2 decade curse that has befallen the program. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln announced this week that former Nebraska head coach Frank Solich would be returning to Memorial Stadium to perform a blood sacrifice of 'Lil Red while dressed as the original fan favorite "Blonde Herbie" during halftime of the Fordham game.  "We thank 'Lil Red and the unfortunate student scheduled to play him this Saturday for their long service to this university," said new UNL Athletic Director Trev Alberts in a statement released on Friday. "But these are desperate times and 'Lil Red was always kind of stupid anyway." The source of the curse remains unknown, but its existence has long centered around 3 popular fan theories: 1. The introduction of 'Lil Red as a mascot 2. The retirement of "Blonde Her...
