Great news!

It would be surprising for him to leave. Really the only slight concern was being closer to home and if his wife wears the pants. So not too surprised, but the reassurance is nice.

Great news. Really like his drive and passion. He is also all about the kids
that play for him. They lose it's his fault not theirs. He is the perfect fit here.
Look what he has done the first two years with a rag tag mix of player's.
I really believe that this program is going to be one the best teams in the
league year in and out. The players seem to buy in to what he wants and they
play as a team.

YaaaaaYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a feeling a story like this with him saying he's out of the running for the job would come out.

Would have been very surprised if Altman had taken the Nebraska position. That job is career suicide.

The only time I've seen a coach take an inferior job is to be close to a stick family member. I know there's a stipulation in Altman's contract that UO pays for a certain number of flights for his family members to travel between Oregon and Nebraska every year.

I think one of the biggest keys for Altman though is his daughter. She's a student at UO and she apparently loves it.

A perfect example...

“I’m disappointed because I thought there was a little bit more there,” Altman said. “I’m disappointed in myself because I didn’t get us to respond sometimes, but I’m not disappointed in the guys. They were easy to work with, they played for each other, we didn’t have any problems off the floor. …

“I’m going to miss them. I didn’t want it to end. … I had a lot of fun with these guys, they were a great group of guys.”
