2024 Coaching Carousel

[CountryRoads]

Indiana Stare Coach rumored by Mr Borzello to be leading candidate to replace Ford. Wonder if he would bring Robbie Avila with him?

TIL St Louis is a step up from Indiana State.

[Herman Cain]

Sounds creepy.

And he can probably do better.

TIL St Louis is a step up from Indiana State.

It is. But not significantly. The MVC and A10 are both 1+ bid conferences right now. But St. Louis likely has more resources and a higher ceiling.

If I'm him, I wait anyway.  See what opens up as other jobs get filled

[Uncle Rico]

Signs point to Holtmann getting the DePaul gig.

Good hire for them.

Keeps Brian Wardle in the pen for the Marquette job

[Zog from Margo]

I agree. Holtmann is a good hire for DePaul. It is weird for DePaul to be hiring a real coach.

Will be interesting how he tackles roster construction.

Well, it's apparently a done deal. They even speculate as to a salary of $3.08 million (while linking to a source that doesn't support that).

How normal for a subset of scoopers.

[cheebs09]

That feels to be a solid hire. Hopefully he can get them into the Top 100 at some point.

Another coach returns to the Big East.
Can Buzz-to-Villanova rumors be far behind?

Nova could do a lot worse ... and apparently did after Wright left.

I wonder who takes that OSU job. I don't think Miller is leavin'

Dusty May seems to be the name with the most traction?  I'm sure they'll swing big, but not sure what that means for them.  Thad Matta was their best coach of the last 40 years, imo, and he came from Xavier.  If their goal is Scott Drew or someone of that ilk, they're ignoring their own history.

I really like Lamont Paris for that gig but I'm not sure he's sexy enough for them.

[tower912]

How many calls do you suppose Shaka's agent has received this cycle?   How many more?

[CountryRoads]

That feels to be a solid hire. Hopefully he can get them into the Top 100 at some point.

It'd be a good hire but I get the sense that Holtmann is a job hopper. He quickly bailed on Butler when they had success and his name was floated for other openings when he was having some initial success at OSU. A good year or two at DePaul and he's a flight risk for the next step in the ladder. Moser would be a much better fit long term. Just my opinion.

Paris just signed a 6 year extension.  Over $4MM/year.

Shaka Smart's agent seeing these extensions: 👀

Pretty much anyone who takes the job at DePaul will leave if he has any success at all and other programs come calling. Moser might be an exception, but I have my doubts.  DePaul is a long, long way from being a destination job where a successful coach will be willing to stick around.

Mike Boynton out at Okie State.
But they'll always have memories of that one year of Cade Cunningham.

Cross him off the list.  Then I'll say Dusty May

It's a double win for osu as it also kills IU fans a bit.

Many, with many more to come.

Agreed. Holt might get the program respectable for a year or two which would be great but I'd expect DePaul to fall back to earth like it's post Leitao (part 1) again. Whereas Moser might've actually built something sustainable long term

Stackhouse done at Vandy too.
