Rumors Flying - Altman to Nebraska???
Some rumors flying around that if the Nebraska job opens, Altman may bolt? Anyone know anything?

It's possible, but he's got a good thing going at Oregon. Dunno if that would be best for him.
I do know a lot of his family still lives in Nebraska though.

Man, that would be such a bummer. Seems kind far fetched.....There is no way Nebraska would pay as much right? Gotta think, uncle Phil would step in...northbeachsf wrote:Some rumors flying around that if the Nebraska job opens, Altman may bolt? Anyone know anything?
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: Rumors Flying - Altman to Nebraska???
it's a ridiculous downgrade any way you slice it, but i've heard this rumor, too. it seems to be based on:
1. an obvious personal nebraska connection, and
2. the B1G is light years ahead of the pac-12, and with the B1G network pumping more money into member schools nebraska could, in theory, dump a whole lot of $$ altman's way to try to entice him.
i don't believe it, myself. he'd have to have a very poor working relationship with the athletic department (which we likely wouldn't be privy to) to spur such a move. he's not at the age where you'd want to try to rebuilding a program from nothing, which is what nebraska would be. he's been to a final four here. the path to another is much more attainable here than it is at nebraska, as would be an elusive national championship.

Just a thought, the "war room" board currently has 5025 topics, how many if the rumors were removed? Heyward will be hired as Ducks next DC? ....... what's a sports message board without rumors, some even turn into fact.

This isn't a rumor, outside of a few people who think everyone is leaving UO.

A Pete Thamel speculation article from a month ago seems to be what started this non-story.

Matt Prehm from 247 - "Dana Altman mentioned as the possible target by Nebraska should it open."
Some others on twitter:
"Rumors on rumors but hearing Dana Altman is pretty much a done deal to become Nebraska’s next Basketball coach after seasons end."
"I am hearing Dana Altman to Nebraska. One of my AAU guys told me."
I could go on as there is a lot more of this on social media. Not saying it is going to happen, but I also didn't just make it up.

Wow, but wouldn't surprising considering the season. And would makes sense in some regards.
Kelly Graves to coach the mens team next?
