OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[willie warrior]

Avoiding the question Part II.  You said "better gig."  Now you are shifting goalposts too.

No shifting
I cannot tell you the gig because the one coaching jobs are constantly shifting, just as many other things are fluid. So take your goalposts and stuff them.

So you think people with leftist political beliefs would be upset if UNC hires a minority??

Touche.

Moser to Oklahoma, apparently.

This has Jeff Capel written all over it. But, he'll get paid.

Best of luck, should be interesting.

Feels like if we wanted Porter, we would've gotten Porter.

[muwarrior69]

Stackhouse is arguably more qualified for the UNC job than Wojo was for the Marquette job and than Doherty was for the UNC job. And he's DEFINITELY more qualified than Kingsbury was for the Arizona Cardinals job. Ipso fatso, those three only got those positions because they were white, right?

And plenty of racists WOULD rip them for hiring Davis.

You know, Billy, it's OK to "send a message" (your words) AND hire someone who is qualified.

Maybe they can get Frank Martin from South Carolina.

Correct

[Billy Hoyle]

Good lord Robinson would be a bad hire.  He was putrid at FSU and he would be 64 when the season started.

Wojo sure, but not Doherty.  Doherty stunk at UNC but he was a high major assistant for almost a decade and then had a fairly nice season at ND, who had been terrible for a decade post-Digger.  Stackhouse had no college coaching experience and limited NBA experience before getting the Vandy job.  He was very solid with Raptors 905 and I think his trajectory at Vandy will be nice, but hes still very much an unproven college commodity.

But he's been at UNC throughout Roy's tenure which may work in his favor.

Davis seems to be the favorite though and I can't see anyone being upset by that hire. Stackhouse has proven nothing at the college level except getting into social media fights with fans. He doesn't bring much more to the table than Chris Mullin did.

Agreed.

This is a really weird fit IMO.  Not a fan base who is starved for success cause they've been relatively good lately, but it's gonna be a culture shock cause Kruger's team scored a lot of points and the program has had 3 lottery picks in the last decade.  That's gonna be different.

Moser had to cash in eventually. I don't think this will go well.

This isn't correct.

Stack gets (deserved) bulk of credit for developing Aaron Nesmith and Saben Lee into NBA draft picks and players. He also gets the bulk of the credit for developing Scotty Pippen into an all league player. (Disu is next) He inherited a zero win SEC League record team. He's been there two seasons.

[The Sultan]

I think Stackhouse would do just fine at UNC.

[shoothoops]

Stackhouse has gotten into some Twitter battles with fans/writers. I'm not sure it's disqualifying, but would make me wonder how he'd handle a job like UNC.

Where I would go, is their local media. I would begin with Joe Rexrode, Athletic Columnist that covers college and pro sports there. Joe used to cover Michigan St. and Michigan as well. I would also add Chris Lee and Adam Sparks (beat writer) to that list, some others. They would give you a a fair, objective take on that.

He doesn't get along with Jeff Goodman and vice versa.

[shoothoops]

People wondering why Moser would take the Oklahoma position. One thing that helps a lot is Joe Castiglione. He is one of the better AD's in the country. And that matters in these situations.

[Warriors4ever]

This does seem like a weird fit to me too.

Goodman doesn't like NBA guys that come to college.  He can't get any scoops from them

[Heisenberg]

Can we assume Moser said no to DePaul?

Seems like the DePaul payday was capped well under what Moser knew he'd get elsewhere.  So effectively yes.

Agreed on many levels. It'll be interesting to see how it works out....

I think he has a better chance of succeeding at OU than Indiana.  Big XII is a meat grinder, though.

Iron sharpens iron. His teams will be even better come tournament time after going through that gauntlet.

I'm looking forward to watching his Oklahoma teams.  It feels like it's out of his comfort zone but it'll be fascinating IMO

Didn't work so well for the Big 10 this year
