Coaching Carousel 2017

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Well he said he wants to coach at a program that can compete for a national chanpionship... So id say that disqualifies Dayton.  Low major program

[brewcity77]

But why would be leave for what would be considered at best a lateral move, but would really be a step down?

Going home, able to actually be in charge of the main program on campus, and does anyone really want to be at Notre Dame?

You could have said the same thing about Marquette in 1999.

Wants to get back into a real conference. His fellow hillbilly's aren't cutting it for his taste. His basketball television network is bleeding viewers. He wants to coach against the best. Wants to put his mark on the rebuild.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Nope

As MU fired their coach largely to a comment about just that.

More turtleneck shops in DC....

I'm not a Dayton fan, but it is NOT a low major program.

I wouldn't call it a step down. Lateral perhaps. But then like Brew said, the personal factors come into play. DC has its flaws but it's home for him and South Bend is a dumpster fire.

And even if he won a NC in South Bend, most domers wouldn't find out until they logged back into their message boards when spring football starts....

Hicky coverin' attire, hey?

[Herman Cain]

Yo Kostas, Yankee wants yo number, hey?

Hope springs eternal. Lets make it happen.

[forgetful]

Hope springs eternal. Lets make it happen.

Why would he leave?  He already did a RS year to become eligible to even play.  If he leaves, he has to sit out another year.  He would only have 3-years eligibility left then after his first minute of NCAA ball.

Thoughts on Crean for Georgetown from their message board

[rocket surgeon]

Coaching decisions, so much like politics-da golden rule seems to apply.  He/she who has the biggest bag of money, has the biggest megaphone.  "Joe upper deck" can't be heard down on the floor.  Starts with the ole sweater vests, eee'na?

Wish you were, at least, a low major poster.

[Galway Eagle]

Not low major but it may be one of the most over inflated programs in all of college basketball and because of that they deserve to be called low major

What, in the linked article, suggests "nervousness" to you on the part of Providence fans?

[buckchuckler]

What does that even mean?

[MUDPT]

Bo backed out of his retirement because Barry wouldn't hire Gard permanently. Basically he pulled what Dick Bennett did for  Soderberg. The difference being Gard put himself in a position to get the job at the end of the year.

That's not what happened...

[GB Warrior]

Not low major but it may be one of the most over inflated programs in all of college basketball and because of that they deserve to be called low major

So that must make Georgetown a low major too.

[Spotcheck Billy]

I found this (laughable statement) on DBR:

I've also gotten credible information last night from someone close to the AD that the Hoyas talked to Tom Crean yesterday informally about the job, as well. That would be a mistake, IMO, but obviously I don't have a vote.

Does Georgetown even have a plan?
