2019 Coaching Carousel

[Dr. Blackheart]

You're right, I should have said Guys that played for him.

His was a very circuitous path, so I got your point...really what I was saying is that ND sucks.

Back to Wojo, though, and job openings, has anyone heard anything from him? Radio silence

[Eldon]

I just checked Trulia for College Station, and an 8-bedroom, 3-bath, 1-panic room house was just sold for $2.4M.

Wrap it up.

Wojo in the top 3 list to Virginia Tech.

Wait!?! There's really a VTScoop!?!  Trendsetters we are...

It’s too bad Topper used the brand mark paperwork as an Arby’s napkin, and the dried Horsey Sauce is acting like White Out on the key protection paragraph of the legal document.

Roy Williams to MU! Wait didn't he just get humiliated by Auburn.

Until there's an extension in place, I assume we'll see Wojo mentioned for most every HM opening.

Can't be true.  For the first time in many many years we haven't had to worry about the coaching carousel because our coach would never be listed as a candidate for any other job.

Reading their message board is pretty entertaining. It’d be funny to see blackshear grad transfer to A&M.

I appreciate what Buzz has accomplished at VT and I'm personally grateful. And if he leaves for a job he’s always wanted I will wish him well. But——-if he allows KJ or other current players to follow him he will loose all my respect. It’s one thing for him to leave but for him to allow players to leave with him for his new school is to me totally disrespectful of VT which has been great to him and to all of the students and fans who have supported him over the last 5 years with their attendance and their money. Buzz says all the time it's more than basketball and that he teaches life lessons to his players. I agree and think that's great. But the life lesson here is you don't sabotage the people (institutions and fans) that have been good to you and supported you for the past 5 years for your own future gains.

Hoiberg to Nebraska is a #donedeal.

And Bruce Pearl is a sleaze.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Not good for St. John's

By the Pearl Necklace, no less.

Great list of replacements in line at Va Tech. Looks like we will see what style they want running the program.

Cronin could make sense there

It is funny that of the three top candidates from his “plugged in source”, Rajan could only spell Wojo’s name right.

[HutchwasClutch]

VT is going to have a hard time luring another current, established coach again this time.   They pulled it off to everyone's shock with Buzz, but that just doesn't seem a very attractive job still.  I don't think there's any way they get Marshall or Cronin.   

[MuMark]

Cronin is tight with the AD at VT....if he is looking to move for whatever reason that could be a factor.

[HutchwasClutch]

Didn't know that.  Definitely could factor in.  Cronin would be able to step into much higher profile conference too if that appeals to him as well.   We'll see.

[VegasWarrior77]

When Cronin was offered the UNLV job a few years ago the reason he stayed in Cincy was to be close to his daughter.  He said as a divorced father he wanted to stay close to her.  Don't know how old she is now...?  Probably used UNLV to get a better contract.

Aren't Buzz and Cronin tight?

Here was another one with similar themes here.




The only thing I'm pissed about is the roster

The cupboard bill be absolutely bare next year - esp. if KBJ leaves. That's on Buzz. I don't want to believe this, but its almost like he was just building the program for this year and then he knew he was going to bolt.

I'm more than thankful for what we did on the court this year, but the guy was paid to be the coach for VT which includes manages future rosters, whether he plans to be here or not.

Yes.....Cronin suggested Buzz to the VT AD who he used to work for iirc.

Thanks for refreshing my memory.  I knew there was a connection.

We need to get Heisy over there stat to explain that the cupboard isn’t bare.

[GoldenWarrior11]

When Buzz takes over at A&M, it will be interesting who he asks to join him on staff.  Yahoo said Benford was coming along.  Given his ties to Buzz, I would not be shocked if Joe Fulce came along with him as well in some capacity (since he is from Texas).  Jamie McNeilly has been with Buzz every where since New Orleans - have to think he comes along too.  Jeff Reynolds is also a current assistant at A&M, probably a fit there as well.  Toss in Dale Layer for another off-court role, and you probably have your full staff. 

[Billy Hoyle]

Of all the things going on in CBB, Nancy writes about BBQ’s and recordings of rival recruits? They have a Kansas assistant on tape talking about payment issues with Zion and no one talks about it. Coach K calls it a blip.

It’s not just the BBQ it’s the circumstances surrrounding it. It’s shows unethical Pearl is as a person.
