Coaching Carousel 2017

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

What exactly was unfortunate?

Fair question given the results at Texas.

Like most others, I was bummed when Shaka said no. Like Marquette, I quickly moved on and bought into Wojo. He's our coach, Shaka isn't, and he has outperformed Shaka. Boom!

Dayton fans and co. breathe a sigh of relief.

That's a no brainer.  If Marquette was looking for a coach this year, he would be at the top of my list... Luckily they aren't!

I have to think NC State got feedback that Archie wasn't coming. Keatts is a fine candidate, but no way they don't go for the high profile alum if they think they can get him.

That this was announced the day after Indiana opened up might not be coincidence...

For now.

I might put Danny Hurley above him.

I think John Becker of Vermont will get some looks — if not this season, very soon. He just led the Catamounts to their 6th straight 20-win season and 2nd NCAA appearance. This was his best team yet (ranked #63 by KenPom). They gave Purdue a game, playing smart and tough on both ends. And 3 of his best 4 players should be returning next year.

CBS is pimping their own Doug Gottlieb for Ok State job.

Oklahoma State Cowboys
Out: Brad Underwood
Underwood will replace John Groce at Illinois. Now Oklahoma State finds itself looking for a coach much, much sooner than expected. CBS Sports’ Doug Gottlieb, who played at Oklahoma State, could be a prominent candidate. A faction of the fan base will want him to take the job.

Chances that Gottlieb asked Norlander to float his name? I'd say pretty high.

I'm ok with that.  Means I wouldn't have to hear his ignorant opinions on TV!

[tower912]

Gottlieb  shows his lack  of knowledge and contempt for humanity every day.  Would be perfect for IU.  They're used to it.

Seriously, letting a talking head coach would be awesome.

Syracuse coach-in-waiting Mike Hopkins leaves for Washington.

Didn't they put it in writing that he'd have the job after next year? I wonder if he started to doubt Boeheim would actually leave after next year, or if he didn't want to follow a legend.

This school is turning into a Scoop meme now.....  According to today's New Haven Register, supposedly he's the person Quinnipiac is targeting to be their next head coach after firing former UConn assistant Tom Moore.

Gottlieb isn't with CBS anymore fwiw.

Or, perhaps, he figures that Cuse may have made a mistake in moving to the ACC.

He is currently with CBS radio.

.....the article literally says "CBS Sports’ Doug Gottlieb"

Or he can make mad money at Washington for a year and still get hired by Cuse if he wants it.

See Brad Underwood...  .  Realistically, though, I suspect his contract might prevent that.

He could also write in a clause that allows him to leave for a specific gig.  Don't know if it's ever done in college sports, but it could be done.

Lou Holtz had an out clause for Notre Dame when he was coaching at Minnesota.

I missed the initial announcement a week ago, but was interested to read that LSU fired head coach Johnny Jones — just one season after having the #1 pick in the NBA draft in Ben Simmons. They really went into free-fall, finishing 10-21 and winning just 2 games in the SEC.

Wojo > Johnny Jones
