2016 Coaching carousel thread

[Pakuni]

Not that we have to worry about losing our coach this year, but for discussion purposes here are the notable openings so far:

Stanford (Johnny Dawkins)
TCU (Trent Johnson)
UNLV (Dave Rice)
Rutgers (Eddie Jordan)
Okie State (Travis Ford)
St. Louis (Jim Crews)
UCF (Donnie Jones)

Any I'm missing?

Wojo to Stanford/TCU/UNLV/Rutgers/Okie State/St. Louis/UCF!

Wonder if there's any chance Dawkins could end up here as an assistant if he doesn't get a head job elsewhere. Even if just for a year or two, might be nice for Wojo to have a familiar face and experienced head man on the bench. Probably aiming too high, however...

Someone like Dawkins is really needed in my mind.  Would love to have someone outside the Duke family in a perfect world.

It would be interesting to see how the "Coach K retiring... blah blah blah" angle works with two of K's more talked-about successors on the same coaching staff.

Billy Gillispie to SLU

Buzz to Okie State....book it.

Dawkins made one NCAA trip in 8 seasons at Stanford. He's out of the running to be Coach K's successor. He'd look nice on MU's bench though.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Dawkins, a lot like Collins at Northwestern, had an incredible academic standard to carry with recruiting at Stanford.  Not saying it should hinder either of them from building a winner, but it is just another hurdle for a staff to overcome (especially in this day and age with fake classes, prostitutes, and having other people take tests for you being used as recruiting tools to get outstanding basketball players to play for their school).

Stanford would actually be the ideal job for Wojo IMHO

Though, granted, there's always at least a half dozen names being tossed around, and I'm not saying he's even an heir contingent, but Google any article about Coach K retiring, and Dawkins's name appears more often than not.

Buzz to Okie State....book it.

I did see Buzz's name mentioned in the list of potential candidates at TCU

We could make some good money if Oklahoma State was willing to open the pocketbook and buy out Wojo's deal.

Funny that Brent's name is listed as a possibility.  He's like a fidgety child, and about as rational.

It was a burden, but Stanford had plenty of success with the same burden under Montgomery and Trent.

Not saying it'd happen, but Buzz would kill it at Louisville.

Yes saw that and they are ready to load the Brink truck up.  Wasn't Buzz originally from Oklahoma?

[GooooMarquette]

Given Buzz's propensity to leave for lower paying, less prestigious jobs:  Buzz to SLU.

With luck, he may end up making $50k/year at Grambling in a few years.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Not saying it'd happen, but Buzz would kill it at Louisville.

A school with violations over the years, all kinds of wink wink, nudge nudge on the side....a dream job for Buzz.   Maybe some of the Just Win Baby fans here could migrate over and become Louisville fans.

[Jay Bee]

He'd look nice on MU's bench though.

nh?

[Oldgym]

All I know is I'm really gonna miss VCU Insider at this time of year.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Not saying it'd happen, but Buzz would kill it at Louisville.

It'd be weird to see him leave for a school in the same conference and this soon into his contract, but he can walk away for pennies.

I think that'd be IDEAL. You also already know the prior guy set the ethics standards pretty low, so as long as you're just marginally less disgusting of a human being you're "cleaning up the program."

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Virginia Tech fans on twitter saying that Buzz likes Blacksburg too much to leave, and that he wouldn't take a lesser TCU job. Hmmm, where have we heard that before.

Has OSU17 and TCU18 made an appearance yet?
