BobInHouston Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) 14 hours ago, Gerry Hamilton said: My current college coaching list … at 4.5-5 mill a year salary and 4 mill NIL commitment TJ Otzelberger Brad Brownell Mick Cronin - don’t love the style, but results are there Doug McDermott - tremendous offensive coach Sean Miller ***Guys like: Tommy Lloyd Todd Golden Pat Kelsey Are at better jobs and will all be making 5-6 mill a year in short order with solid NIL backing Grant McCaslin (Tremendous coach) will go to Baylor if Scott Drew is the pick at Indiana It seems as though it's up to the school to make the financial commitment that the AD says will bring the success he expects. Edit: FWIW, Cronin's buyout is $16 mil. It drops to $10 mil at some point in April. Edited February 24 by BobInHouston 2 Quote

UCF might wait another year until it gets full Big 12 money to move on from Dawkins. Smith was the first of three successive Utah State coaches who moved on to new jobs in a three year period. He was followed by Odom, who went to VCU, and Sprinkle, who went to Washington. Kind of amazing that Utah State is on the bubble this year when it it on its fourth coach in 5 years. I'm going to hate it if Utah grabs an up and coming coach and takes over the world. Quote

Assistant Regional Manager Posted February 25 Posted February 25 For a fanbase and program that needs to be re-energized, an almost 60-year-old Quin Snyder, who hasn't coached in college since 2006, probably isn't moving the needle. 1 Quote

bierce Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I don't know if the articles' writers really know anything about the Utah opening, but I find it interesting that many of them seem to think one of several NBA assistant coaches would be the way to go. Quote

Hashtag Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Just now, BobInHouston said: Just because of this, he's probably not a fit for Texas, and I would definitely consider him. Yeah his outburst the past couple of years seems misplaced. I don't think he'd be the best fit either. Love his energy just wish he'd put out more positive energy. Quote
qaertyisthatdude Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I see UNC has committed to becoming the next Indiana. 1 Quote
BobInHouston Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Supposedly this was done in the summer and for some reason is only being announced now. I am pretty sure the base will be unhappy. The thing is, fans at every high D-I school clamor for a tournament appearance and then a path to a championship. It can't happen for everyone. And there aren't enough good coaches to go around, which is why they are paid so much. Not sure who would have been after HD, except having the contract to rely on in recruiting... "I'll be there, no problem," etc. 1 Quote

There is only one senior to go with two freshmen, two sophomores, and three juniors in the top 7 guys in minutes played for UNC this year, and if Wilson stays with his commitment, then UNC would have a very strong incoming class. That could be a very good team next year. Quote

bierce Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) We already have openings at Florida State, Indiana, Utah, and Miami. Ron Sanchez's brief flirtation with support after winning a couple of games against tournament outsiders has already evaporated. The only thing protecting Mike Young at Va Tech is athletic department finances. Syracuse may give the lie to the notion that a coach has to get three full seasons. Tang's on thin ice, missing tourney for the second straight year. Neptune is the same way, only about to miss his third--at Nova. Hurley has students screaming for him to be fired every ASU home game. Is Porter Moser safe, and if he is, then is he sick of not getting good NIL support and willing to listen to another school? The idea that the busy-ness of a spring coaching carousel should be determined by whether Terry is let go or not is ridiculous. Edited February 25 by bierce Quote

We, on the other hand, know better. Silliness to think we would cause some avalanche of movement in P5 schools by firing Terry. We would affect at most one other P5 school. Even if we steal a Miller or Otzelberger from Xavier or ISU, it isn't like they would poach from a third P5 school. They'd probably have the smarts to hire Wade, McCollum, Pitino, Murray, or some other up and comer and wind up doing very well for themselves. Quote
