I know, I know, who cares, not our problem anymore, etc. etc.

But I wonder where his next stop will be? A mid-major? Back as an assistant (at Duke or elsewhere)?

Regardless of the results, he was a likeable guy, so I'm sure he'll be just fine.

I would guess a year off or back to Duke in some capacity. I don’t know if he’d go to a Utah State or something if Smith leaves to try to rebuild his brand a bit.

Duke would be my guess

Dawkins and Amaker got mid major jobs pretty quick after failing at a high level. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same.

He could be the color guy at half time during the tournament.....zzzzz.

He'll have a new job this year, or sit out a year (collecting recruits) and have one next year.

He will NOT go to be an assistant somewhere.

UNLV
Or probably a mid major in NC if something opens

Hard to see how any big time program could sell him to the fanbase. I would bet mid major HC is the next step. It wouldn't hurt for him to take some time to learn some X's and O's from as an assistant at a good program, though. I doubt he'd take the demotion, but it might serve him well.

He got a hefty pay day. He can afford to be selective (either this Spring or next Spring). I personally, wanting him to succeed, would hope he sits this year out, reflects and waits for a great opportunity. I think the worst thing he can do is do what Richard Pitino did and take a quick job with New Mexico, a region he has zero ties and conference he has zero connections with.

I think a job in the A10 would be a nice fit. Anthony Grant (Alabama) and Travis Ford (OK State) are two fired coaches that have done very well there.

Didn’t we already decide Arby’s?

The George Mason job just opened up - and I agree, that conference could be a good fit. Not to mention that he's from the region, seemed to have decent recruiting ties in the Philly/NY area, as well as a history in NC, which would work well recruiting to Northern VA.

Personally, I think he'd be great on TV much like Crean and Lavin have been.

His halftime analysis: "They're going to have to PLAY HARDER if they want to win."

TV for a year then lower tier team in decent conference.

Wojo has needed to reset his clock for the past ~2 seasons, and that's what he should do now.

Had he done so 1-2 years ago, he could have landed somewhere better, now I think he should buy a boat and take a few years off, let the stink of failure wear off.

If fans thought he was bad on the sideline, just wait for their takes of him on camera!

I highly, highly doubt he has any career in media. Ever. That's not exactly his forte.

Buzz always paid careful attention as to when it was time to leave. Wojo learned the hard way.

I hope TV or nothing--- less chance to take our recruits.

UNLV is a real option. They wanted him a year ago.

Right—Wojo is not going back as an assistant at Duke. That’s absurd.
