Obviousy Tom S. is not too enamored with Collier's job as NU hoops coach.  

A couple of my favorie points:

If Collier had posted four losing seasons out of five at Iowa State or Oklahoma, he'd find a buyout and a bus ticket under his door. At Nebraska, 14-14 is called "progress."

At least in basketball. There is now a clear distinction at South Stadium. Remember when former Football Coach Frank Solich was fired after a 9-3 season? And Pederson said he didn't want the program to gravitate toward mediocrity?

The same standard is not being applied in basketball, where Collier is allowed a chance to "coach his recruits and see what he can do." Solich had just hired a new staff of recruiters. Why was Collier given the chance that Solich was not?
