Following the season, Guy Chamberlin was named the first All-American in Nebraska history. Stiehm, who had won the MVC in each of his five seasons at Nebraska and also coached the school's basketball team,^[2] was offered $4,500 annually to take over Indiana's athletic department. Despite suggesting he'd remain at Nebraska for less money, the school refused to offer him a raise and Stiehm exited with the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history.^[3]
