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. 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

We, on the other hand, know better. Well ESPN mentions that Mark great defense at least once a game. Jon Rothstein said Weaver was playing last game, despite the injury report saying he was out. Add to that the moron on X that said Texas has a high NIL. The people that actually follow Texas basketball absolutely know better. Guys keep thinking Basketball is Football. Quote

It could happen. But again, that would mean that Texas hired one of the most famous coaches in America. Not planning on that. Quote

But I don't think we'll be poaching from an SEC or Big Ten program with huge money to turn around and poach a P5 coach, and with the greater number of basketball programs, there is always a bigger pool of rising coaches.

Hashtag Posted February 28 Posted February 28 2 minutes ago, tylerlindsey2111 said: Why do you think Otz would come here? I don't know if he would but that low of a buyout definitely puts him in the category of attainable vs a coach who has 10+ million buyout to leave another job. But with revenue sharing coming and Texas being able to offer max revenue sharing and allotting 3-4 million for basketball plus corporate NIL of Austin, and Texas One Fund added deals there is definitely a lot of room to grow in Austin vs Ames and Texas brand vs Iowa St brand. It's not as simple as some of you make in regards to strictly NIL which is coming from TOF or corporate right now. Quote
tylerlindsey2111 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 No, I am not using NIL. I am saying why would he come here? He's King in Ames. They're good every year. He can pretty much be on the short list for any BB first jobs, such as Indiana. 1 Quote

He can pretty much be on the short list for any BB first jobs, such as Indiana. If you were a football coach and had to decide on a job between say Alabama and Texas in the current landscape of college athletics which are you taking? Alabama(Indiana) has more tradition than Texas(basketball). I could see quite a few reasons why he would choose Texas/Austin over staying at Iowa St or Indiana job from a business and growth standpoint. Easier to recruit talent to Austin vs Bloomington. If he wins in Austin his NIL war chest grows as well. I'd imagine we are going to pay the next basketball coach 5.5-7 million range per year to get a good one as CDC doesn't want to mess this hire up as revenue sharing comes into play. His salary plus bonuses put him making about 4 million. If we offer the 6-7 million range I definitely think he's attainable. Edited February 28 by Hashtag Quote
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 28 Author Moderators Posted February 28 Some notes ... Jai Lucas is a done deal to Miami. Will be announced in time ... will he take Shelton Henderson with him? Very likely. What about the Boozer twins deciding to stay home? We shall see. And which former HC will be his associate HC? Someone will be Beard doing everything he can to try and get Indiana. Still hearing Scott Drew is ahead. I expect to keep hearing Quin Snyder associated with Texas rumors, or when the job comes open. He loves Austin, house a house in Austin, etc... but that doesn't mean he would leave 8mill a year in the NBA. 3 1 Quote
