OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[🏀]

I’d leave the Mo Valley for the Big East for the travel alone.  Is Loyola chartering a plane to Drake or Indiana State?  Life on the road in that conference would become a grind.

I thought this was a great question. Hard to track precisely, but @SportsAviation covers this to their best ability.

Looks like Drake, UNI and Missouri State fly extensively. The rest of the MVC often only fly into Drake, UNI, Missouri State and often Evansville.

In the past two seasons, Loyola has flown to Drake twice, Evansville once, SIUE once, UNI once. Cannot say it's a complete list, only what's available on @SportsAviation.

To compare, @SportsAviation had every 20-21' MUBB trip except @SH and @DePaul. Both were likely buses from Philly and Milwaukee.

Kimmie English is the new Head Coach at George Mason.

Some will remember his two Free Throws to help knock MUBB out of the 2009 NCAA Tourney.

Has been an assistant at Tennessee, Colorado, Tulsa. Baltimore native.

Wow great point, a perk to consider for sure

Nice resume, a cup of coffee in the NBA followed by learning under several solid coaches in multiple conferences & geographies. Good opportunity to take that first plunge into the HC ranks and build from there. Unfortunately for him, he's dead to me!

If Moser has 3 straight years where he finishes 2nd and 3rd in the conference and doesn't go to the Dance, will Loyola fans scream that he should be fired? Even if a few do, will administration listen to those fans?

The vast majority will go back to forgetting the team exists.

Depaul narrowing to 3-5 today... Goodman drops Gates name, maybe trying to get MU to move faster?

Rumors of Kenny Payne being the top candidate for DePaul coming out this afternoon.

Dunno. He had a couple of good seasons for the Pack, but then flamed out pretty quickly.

Oh, wait....

That leaves the playing field wide open for MU and Gates.

[RJax55]

That leaves the playing field wide open for MU and Gates.

If that happens, yes. Not surprised by this. I always thought Payne would be the guy for DePaul.

[DienerTime34]

That leaves the playing field wide open for MU and Gates.

Has the playing field been closed for Crean or Shaka?

[RJax55]

Those guys are not in the mix for the DePaul job. Gates reportedly is.

Why would Goodman care if MU moves faster?

The vast majority will go back to forgetting the team exists.

Can't argue about that. But it plays into the whole low-pressure thing.

Goodman himself doesn't actually care. But that's how the game is played. He puts out little tidbits like this at the request of an agent and in turn the agent will feed him a scoop to break at some point.

He uses "info" like chips.....Gets his "sources" better deals.....Pushes favors.....Get schools to bid against themselves.....That is how he gets info from confidential sources.....Kind of slimey.....But it gets him info and it works.....Take everything with a grain of salt.....Lots of "agendas"......

Just look at the nice articles he wrote about Buzz when he was here.

My favorite was Parrish when he said how suspending Buzz for a game because of Monarch lying about a car ride and t-shirt was what make coaches leave. Basically helping Buzz in his me against the administration showdown.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Has the playing field been closed for Crean or Shaka?

I think Crean closed it himself. Shaka likely still in play.

[Lennys Tap]

I think Crean closed it himself. Shaka likely still in play.

LOL. I doubt very much MU ever “opened” it.

Wasn't it Goodman who showed up at Marquette shortly after Wojo took over and wrote about Wojo's floor slapping days and the good ole' days at Duke? I don't think he wrote anything of consequence about Marquette. He's a gigalo. Sucked up to Wojo after being Buzz's errand boy.

Probably not. But there are some corners of MU fandom where he still has strong support.
