I dont' see this as a bad hire at all...although i really doubt he'll be able to get much going at NU.  Until I see it for myself, I don't ever see Nebraska bringing in a high caliber coach similar to Huggins, so they probably won't be bringing in much high caliber talent to really compete and be successful (i can't think of any other reason why a 4 or 5 star bball player would ever sign with NU, unless Sadler is a ridiculously good recruiter).  Nobody really cares that much about basketball in Lincoln. It's going to take a ton of work to create some sort of excitement around the mens basketball program...good luck to Coach Sadler he's gonna need it!

Pederson is such a weird AD, he polarizes fans/alumni so much with his decisions. 
Firing Solich at NU
Demolishing Pitt Stadium
Renaming from Pitt to Pittsburgh

Sadler is similar to his hire of Ben Howland when he hired him to coach at Pitt, from Northern Arizona.

I think their recruiting is so screwed he's not going to be able to recover, you just can't afford to take a year off in the Big XII.
