OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[GoldenWarrior11]

With BC parting ways with Christian, below are the current openings.  There are expected to many more in the coming weeks, since many schools chose not to make firing decisions last Spring when COVID began.  On average, there could be 50+ coaching changes each Spring (between firings, retirements, positions opening up from head coaches being hired, etc.). 

Wichita State
Penn State
Boston College
Fordham
Portland
Northern Illinois
UT Martin
UTRGV
IUPUI
Texas State
UC Riverside

Took me a minute to figure out what UTRGV means...but I got it!

Their coach, Lee Hill, sadly just passed away.

Hoosier nation very unhappy with Miller.   Celtic nation frustrated with the Brad.  Hoosier nation thinks they can lure the Brad home.

Sounds similar to Butler nation thinking Thad is returning

[tower912]

Yes.  The Brad does not enjoy recruiting.

No, that one is realistic.

[hairy worthen]

Yes.  The Brad does not enjoy recruiting.

I would think several other nba teams would jump at having The Brad as their coach if it goes south in Boston. He would look good on the Bucks sideline.

Wichita State removes interim tag of Isaac Brown.  I believe he is the first collegiate D1 Black head coach in the state of Kansas. Pretty cool.  He definitely earned it after the mess Marshall created.

Basketball. Both KU and K-State have had African American football coaches.

Let's hope he fares better than both the Turner Gill and Ron Prince dumpster fires

I think Stevens and the Celtics are heading for a divorce.  This is one of those cases where a new voice is needed in the room more than an indictment of Brad Stevens coaching ability.  He'll be very attractive to a lot of NBA franchises should he become available.  Is Indiana something he's considered in the past?  None of us know for sure

[Uncle Rico]

Paul Weir out at New Mexico.  I seem to recall that hire being lauded when it was made but then looked up his record prior and it was only 1 year at New Mexico State.

So what you're saying is that we're gonna get Brad Stevens as our coach?

That would be awesome!

Would not shock me if Brad Stevens ended up coaching in Milwaukee. Just not with the alma mater. Feels like he'd go to another NBA job before college.

Well, you have to make the call.

No chance until someone starts a thread titled "Brad Stevens".

Dear "someone": please don't

[4everwarriors]

Well, you have to make the call.

I'll ax Gruber, hey?

[cheebs09]

I really hope there's a bunch of jobs open up and Wojo jumps for one. This product is tough to watch.

BC, mutually waived buyout seems like an ideal scenario

[GoldenWarrior11]

Rumors swirling Archie could be on the outs at IU.  Four consecutive non-winning seasons in the Big Ten.  Buyout would be $10 million.

How would MU fans feel about grabbing the Hoosiers' reject?

Apologies. Yes, I meant to include basketball.
