2019 Coaching Carousel

[Eldon]

How much does Willard currently make?

I looked it up online and the range I find is $1.2M-$1.8M (maybe a result of incentives?)

Either way, that strikes me as low.

[Herman Cain]

If Willard goes to VPI, we could potentially see JTIII come off the sidelines and go to Seton Hall. JTIII spent the first part of his career coaching Princeton, so going back to New Jersey is not going to be a major change of lifestyle for him.

Although JTIII  presently is the "leader" in the Vanderbilt search.

As was mentioned above in this very topic, Jerry Stackhouse was hired at Vanderbilt.

And I really doubt JTIII ends up at Seton Hall.  Too bad Dan Hurley took the UConn job last year because he would have been a natural at SHU considering its his alma mater.

Jerry Stackhouse was officially announced 3 hours ago by Vandy. Something tells me JT3 isn't leading anything there.

I was on a conference call. Sorry for the incorrect info.

Thats not an excuse....come on man....you are a much better BS'er than this.  Put a little effort into it.

[GoldenWarrior11]

There's some reports on Twitter about Mullin potentially not coming back to St. John's and them getting Bobby Hurley.

Wow. That would be some news if true.

A governing body exists because there need to be rules enacted to assure institutions are not cheating while keeping some semblance of a level playing field. 

Musicians have competitions from one school to another?  I did not realize this, but will assume it is true.  My hunch is there isn't tampering going on with the debate and music students from one school to another.  Nor are 80,000 people coming to a concert or to watch the debate team perform.  I also do not recall nightly shows dedicated to the performance of the debate or music students at universities as we do with college sports teams.  That is why I think the comparisons are not appropriate.  They couldn't be any more different.

The governing body would just have to change some rules, as it does often. Otherwise, you and I simply disagree about the "benefits" ... and that's cool. Everybody need not agree on everything.

This will be my last comment on this subject on this thread (should have its own thread) because I don't want to bog it down any more.

I disagree.  No...wait...

Didn't see anything official one way or the other, but apparently Cameron Mack has asked for his release.  Juco transfer, was going to be their starting PG next year.  I would say that's some smoke.

For St. John's, it is very peculiar that they have not yet named a replacement for Matt Abdelmassih yet.  Matt was their top (and by perception only) recruiter. 

Regardless, nothing can be going on today.  Bobby Hurley is at the Arizona Diamondbacks' opening day (threw out the first pitch) in Phoenix.  If things do move, it likely wouldn't be until early next week.

They should do so immediately. Mullin as figurehead doesn't work and St. Jean is not a DI level coach.

The Hall looking for a coach could push the Jamaica outfit into action.

Not really that odd. Some coaches pick their next assistant and like them to remain off book so they can attend events without having to adhere to NCAA recruiting restrictions.

Maybe he's following Abdelmassih to Nebraska?

Look, I respect your opinion and understand why you think players should be free agents.  The other side, that I see more strongly is that a scholarship is an incredibly valuable asset for the institution and player.  A scholarship alone is really, really valuable for the players and should be the primary concern of 98% of those taking a scholarship  - what school and academics - not who is the coach.  A system that makes the coach the number one item, is not what 98% of these kids should be most concerned about..

Some players have no business being in college and will go pro after one year - transfers don't matter for them.  98% should be putting college first and their sports careers second.  There maybe between 1% and 2% where the coach is what it is about for the players - those that are not one and done but have serious hope and likelihood of getting to play high level pro ball.  I feel for those types when things don't work out, but the system can't be built around the 2%.

To me, the fact is that a free agency system devalues the institution and what the purpose of the 98% that get scholarships should be concerned with - school.

It may not be popular with many here, but I agree 100%.

Man, I'm not sure anyone comes out looking good there. UCLA is cheap,  TCU is stuck with a coach who wants to leave,  and Dixon is stuck coaching a team that knows he tried to leave.

I think this is the first time I've seen a buyout actually keep a coach

Yeah, no chance that works. For anyone.  This is just the start of the negotiation.
