Good job
Doc Rivers
Tim Miles...Nebraska
Just to make a modification: I see no "Cons" with regard to Shaka Smart. The success he's had at what TAMU deemed a mid-major at VCU speaks for itself. Exciting style of play. Charismatic dude. Wisconsin ties. Doubt ANY of the players (or recruits) would transfer if Shaka were named head coach. Question is, of course....could we get him to leave VCU?
Brad Stevens?
Isnt the coach at Indiana going to be available soon?
Thanks for this, Aggie Eagle. Saves me a lot of time running to Wikipedia every time someone throws out a new name.
I would add some assistants in there, though I hope we don't go down that path.
http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2014/03/the-candidates-far-fetched-possible-and.html
Doc Rivers is not a candidate but I think he would be a good resource particularly when it comes to screening a candidate like Ben Howland. Rivers should have heard things with his recent time in LA. At one point Rivers might have been a candidate but that ship sailed with his move from Boston to LA.
dookie incident? Majerus disciple?
We need to push the safe choice, Chew. Current players stay comfortable and recruits are familiar with him. We won't have to start at the bottom. Just hope he plays talent over seniority.
Chew is in no way the safe choice. Like Buzz wasn't a safe choice either. Not to say we have to take a risk because it worked out with Buzz, but I think Chew would be a much riskier hire than Buzz. Buzz at least had head coaching experience and had a lot of recruiting success.
I'm definitely in the Howland camp, and then second and third choices are Shaka and Marshall. As Chicos said, if we go the assistant route, I'd be a little disappointed. I think we have some higher profile candidates with what at least sounds like some interest, which is different than the last go-around.

I don't think Shaka would be a good fit. He's a superstar and I'm not sure that fits the culture around Marquette. Look, I love Marquette and it's basketball program, but we've got some alums who think buying tickets entitles them to something. It's actually kind of a weird environment, if you ask me. I actually believe it's unique to Milwaukee.
If I were Shaka Smart I'd stay right where I am.

Smart makes close to 1.5M at VCU, with alot of that coming from appearances and incentives. If MU offered 2.5M a year, would that change his perspective. I don't know how much UCLA offered, but thats a huge chunk of change.

A wish list? Who is realistic? I don't think any of the following are realistic.
Smart--won't leave for MU
T. Bennett--UVA for MU. I love MU but I don't think so. ACC for new BE. No way.
Amaker--Harvard for MU. No.
Marshall--Bet he prefers where he is.
Other names seem realistic.

Any man who can laugh at a Growler Incident stands well in my book.
#1 Shaka. I hope he looks at this place as a destination. Though, with Buzz's comments, I think it's telling about the landscape that is college sports and what people think of the Big East.
#2 Howland. Just like the hire as a continuity one: name recognition, associated with pro players, experienced, etc. Selfishly, it bridges a chasm and helps MU position itself for the next hire so they're not caught with their pants down. However, Howland may be the next one to catch MU with its pants down IF he succeeds at MU. One thing that troubles me about him: he threw his name out there for the job. That's a bit desperate with his pedigree.
#3 Masiello. He won't be here for the long haul. Much like the knock on Hopkins, when Pitino's job is up, he may just bolt.
#4 Marshall. As a coach for a 35 and counting wins team, he should be towards the top. But I think there's a feeling he may stay or go to a program in a more-exposed conference. Marquette would be a nice fit: basketball crazy, have the resources, his program would be for all to see...
I had hoped Buzz would be like Mark Few: beloved by his community at a basketball-only school; staying relevant through recruiting and a successful program; weathering changes in the league and landscape of Division 1 basketball.

Marshall too sees the writing on the wall: how good can Wichita State really get?
- 4 seniors (3 starters including Anthony)
- the cupboard is full for the next guy (10 frosh and soph on the roster)
Stevens saw it too at Butler. And he bailed despite the Butler community loving him so much.
Tom Crean
Ridiculous that Bo Ryan discipleship is a con. He is a great coach. Tony Bennett has been good everywhere he's been and fast. He won't come here but find it comical that being under Bo Ryan is a con. If the style wins, then who cares.

He is there more for the academics than you think. His wife teaches there. Marquette is a fine school, but it is hard to compare a faculty position here with one at Harvard.
1. Howland. If you want to win the press conference and understand that he is only a medium term solution. Of course, what is a long term solution anymore?
2. Wardle. If you are willing to lose more in the short term but really want to plan for 10 years.
Shaka/Marshall/Amaker ain't coming.

I know. But with your pedigree, you'd think they would reach out to you.
This isn't Wardle or FGCU coach we're talking about here!
He was West Coast ties and I don't think it'll suit him well to be here.
If a Pac-12 job opens up, he may just bite.
I definitely don't want Amaker. He is good in his current environment, but hasn't been good at high majors as the original post said.

Well he had great success at Pitt too so...
Thanks for doing this TAMU. Agree with you Tower.
Glad I was unable to hit the board yesterday afternoon/last night.
Buzz served MU well. No regrets. Hoping for a third consecutive effective hire. Concerned about the process given no president, no AD. I hope the board empowers Cords and that there is no dilly dallying while the hiring process for the president and the ad continues.

I like Hopkins for a few years but the Syracuse beat writer isn't buying it.

Marquette's alumni base is a big reason we can't keep coaches. Many of them are yokels, yet believe they are power brokers. Believe what you want.

Downside of Stallings is that he has a tremendous amount of transfers. I think he is the opposite of a player's coach. I think we would get a mass exodus of our current players if he was hired.
Why not put Mark Few on the list.
I nominate Riley Crean as an assistant.
He's an aspiring basketball coach, you know.

Since everyone has opinions--I would lay the line out with everything I have for
1.Tim Miles - Very Impressed. No matter what happened in NCAA T. Got Jobbed.
2. Brad Stevens- Would take him in a heartbeat
3.Ben Howland- Yes, he can recruit. Might be our best bet
4. Dwayne Stephens - Mich. St. Assistant
My opinions only.

If we can wait for Wichita to lose, I actually think this may be a good gig for Marshall. If I remember correctly, he has a heart condition, and doesn't want the stress of a big time job (i.e. a blueblood). The Marquette job would certainly be more stressful than Wichita, but not to the extent of a blueblood.
The level of attention and media exposure of Milwaukee, and the Big East, may be perfect for him. Not too little attention, not too much attention.
The dude can flat out coach. I don't know how well he can recruit, but he has been able to get some really good players to Wichita.

There's some truth to this. We don't have pro sports down here. Shaka runs this town. I think he likes it that way (not to say that he is a megalomaniac or anything like that...just enjoys his level of sway within the university).
As you alluded to, our alumni/boosters don't have quite the same position of power as Marquette's. Not sure how that affects things exactly but the culture is certainly different.

He is 57. I just don't see him being a 10 year solution.
I think he ultimately gets it. With the current lack of president and AD he is the best choice.
1. He wins the press conference. Solid history, solid character.
2. He's a pro.
3. When the new AD and new President in place, with a solid, low maintenance choice as coach already in place, they can focus on other things.
4. Because he is 57, in 5 years, when the Big East wants to expand, when the new pres/AD are comfortable, they can start planning his succession.
With all of the other uncertainty, I don't see an untested hire, a waiting until the end of the tournament hire. But hey, I've been wrong before.

I don't want my children having to go to school and getting ridiculed with all the crazy stuff people say. That's not worth an extra $200,000 or $400,000 to me.

Yeah could be tough, but he didn't close the door and if he and Doug McD are close, maybe he'd like to coach with him in the same league. Also interesting how Marshall says something like "don't mess with happy". Gee I've heard that before.
OP has been modified.
Danny Manning, Tim Miles, and Dwayne Stephens have been added to the list.
I saw a request for Kevin Stallings, but that is the only time I have seen any mention of him. Plus, he seems pretty entrenched at Vanderbilt.
I saw several posts for Brad Stevens, wasn't sure if they were jokes or not. Way out of our reach.
Anyone else I missed?
Bump!
Why not Greg McDermott? Creighton's gonna suck now with douggie mcbuckets gone, and he knows his way around the conference. Might not be as good of a recruiter as we need.
Might as well throw Jim Calhoun on there if we want a retread....now there's a resume!
What about Billy Donovan? Have to hold off until he loses, but we should definitely consider him if he's interested.
Amaker's wife teaches at Harvard. I read something in an alumni magazine how they love being there. I really doubt he will ever leave and why would he? His family has a great thing going there. And not that it is a financial burden but their kids get preferential admission and a full ride.

That could be. They get to stay in the area so it would work. I am surprised, though as he is set for life at Harvard. BC brings a whole host of risk, stress, intrigue, and uncertainty. Why not create a legacy for oneself?

Then the BC job is perfect for him. Wife stays at Harvard, doesn't have to move, kids get preference at two great academic institutions.
Jim Calhoun wants back, if he doesn't get BC, how about MU?

Here's a new ESPN Front Page story. Interesting where this goes. If Howland wants it, the why didn't MU offer? Are they waiting for Smart or Marshall?

Why not Greg McDermott? Creighton's gonna suck now with douggie mcbuckets gone, and he knows his way around the conference. Might not be as good of a recruiter as we need.
So .... the team Greg McDermott built is going to suck once his son leaves, but MU should hire him?

MU is talking to a current major college coach, if not these four than who?
Haven't seen this info other than from you. Where did you find it?

A little bird whispered in my ear. I do like the idea of Brey or Motta though.
Jamie Dixon...hmm...
My top 3 are:
1. Marshall
2. Smart
3. Howland
If we strike out there, I would seriously consider Chris Collins from Northwestern over all others. He is recruiting very well at Northwestern and that type of coaching hires has done us well the last 2 times. I would definitely take him over Wardle, Saul, Miller.
