2023 Coaching Carousel

If there were to be a coaching change at UT (which there won't be, but let's pretend), my guess is that Buzz would break his neck trying to get that job.

He would be pretty far down on their list IMO.

taylor made job for wojo eyn'a?

Yea he needs to make at least a pair of second weekends, much less get to the tourney, before he is anywhere on the radar of a promotion.

Well I bet he has a fully prepared speech and presentation explaining how it's every factor except for his scheduling, coaching, and recruiting that has prevented the second weekends at A&M. Then 4 Buzz's bunch videos.

An article talking about how it's the SEC's fault and A&M never should've left the B12

At Texas, I heard the student managers flush, though.

If there are any Dale Layer sightings in Austin, we'll know for sure.

Smart money is on Rick Barnes.

Rick will be 69 in July

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I would guess Eric Musselman will be among their top choices.

[MuggsyB]

I could see Musselman.  Kelvin Sampson? 

[panda]

Only half joking but I could see them throwing a ton of money at calipari and cal looking for something new after Kentucky.

That's not a bad call.

Jay Wright?  They could bring out several Brinks trucks.  Pop if they don't get Wemby? 

[MuggsyB]

Oh.....Quin Synder?

[WhiteTrash]

I follow the logic but Cal is threatened by UK football.  I think Taxas football would scare the sh!t out of him.

Cal's 63 already and there's speculation he only agreed to the Gonzaga series with a game at the Kennel in 6 years because he doesn't plan to be around for it. I could definitely see Muss, maybe even Nate Oats. But that's trying to find another Chris Beard, and those types are rare and hard to pry away.

If they can't get someone already winning and recruiting at that level, where do they go? Someone out of work like Chris Mack? Maybe the next level HM like Buzz or Mike Young? A top mid-major like Anthony Grant or Grant McCasland? The hottest name after the tourney?

Sure seems like a program that will just never hit the highs they expect if they can't get this to work out with Beard.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I mean you never really know, but UT was set up with a successful coach who had his dream job and was probably going to be there 20+ years.  36 hours ago, hiring a new men's basketball coach was the last thing on that AD's mind.

Rumor here in Michigan is Nate Oats takes over Sparty once Izzo retires. He might hold off for that

I hope he holds off as long as possible. Better on the bench than in the studio. Izzo on TV reminds me of a high school gym teacher. Probably helps him as a coach but he'd not someone who can talk over your head.

I was told the reason Stephens took the Western Michigan job was to get experience in the big chair so that he can return when Izzo leaves.   The Broncos are horrible so far this year, so the jury is still out as to whether that is still plan A.
