Coaching Carousel 2017

Georgetown put out strong feelers to Xavier's Chris Mack at $4 million per year, source told ESPN. Mack staying at Xavier. - Jeff Goodman

Damnit Georgetown, at least poach a coach from a different league, you asshats.

If this is true, it means a lot of things.   First, the narrative from another thread about the ethnicity of the next coach is now obsolete.   Second, Mack is a good coach who likes being at his alma mater.    Third, Georgetown isn't making much progress.   Fourth, I must concur that they are asshats for attempting to snag yet another coach from another league opponent.  (Cooley)

If GTown's not careful, only the needy will even answer their phones.

Is Wojo next?

[cheebs09]

This has been a very quiet search. I kind of hope Crean gets it. However, I think it would have happened by now. Although, they may be still shooting for the stars based on the Mack news. Granted, Casual Hoya isn't buying it and thinks it's just for a raise.

I honestly think they are finding out that that job isn't what a lot of their fans/media think it is..They have been rejected now by...Brey, Smart, Mack, Hurley, Cooley and probably others that haven't been made public. They waited entirely too long to fire JTIII, that's the biggest problem here. I know their fans would hate it, but I can't see Amaker rejecting it if he was offered. I think they want a big fish, but are finding out that no one wants to deal with the spector of JTII looming over them. Still no idea why they don't offer it to Crean, he'd do great there. I'm just not sure if he's an east coast guy.

Is Wojo next?

Now that would be interesting.    Returning to the area of his youth.   And while I know it was teal, if MU goes to the tourney next year, it will no longer be a joke.

Wojo is comfortable where he is at.  He is building something.  He is going nowhere anytime soon.

I don't think they would view Crean as an improvement over JTIII.   If they end up settling for Crean, it is going to be a huge punch in the nads to Hoya nation.

I agree, with the exception of Duke.    However, two straight tourney appearances will cause the feelers to start coming from other places.

Has it been reported that Hurley turned them down?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Yah, the feelers will come, and he will stay put unless Duke comes calling (they won't).

[wadesworld]

I've stopped thinking any coach out there won't ever leave except for one single job.  Everybody has a price, and it's not always a monetary price.

[cheebs09]

Has it been reported that Hurley turned them down?

I saw he got a 1 year extension in the last day or two. Not sure if that is definitive, but probably an indicator he isn't going.

[muguru]

Has it been reported that Hurley turned them down?

It is speculated that he did, because his name was supposedly one mentioned and hurley just signed an extension yesterday i believe.

[4everwarriors]

I tink y'all are in da nile if ya believe Steve woodn't bee interested in utter gigs than Dook. Da coachin' landscape is fluid and changes yearly. Plus deez dudes all have egos beyond measurement. Dey can bee gowne if da proper hello is ant yelled der wey. And, of course, da door swings both weys, hey?

Kinda like you, am I right, or am I right?

If Stans name came up for Georgetown , it would be cause for concern.  That would start a real feud .

Stan is nowhere near Georgetown's radar, I promise you.

Thanks for the assurance . I can sleep better at night now .

[AlienWarrior]

So where does JT III go?

I read this and thought "somebody's trolling MUFNY".  Then I saw who posted it...

[Herman Cain]

So where does JT III go?

He will tag team with Steve Lavin in the Fox Sports Studio.

[wadesworld]

So where does JT III go?

He can come coach some defense at MU, ai'na?
