JMU coach going to Vandy

JMU coach going to Vandy

Vandy is where promising coaching careers go to die.

[The Sultan]

Will be curious watching the new hires at Stanford and Washington.  Think the travel issues ate a bigger problem in a bloated basketball league than football. 

Don't think Washington is a particularly good job anymore

Not sure it ever really has been.

Yeah and that seems like an odd fit. Gotta strike while the iron's hot I guess.

[Uncle Rico]

Lots of talent to be had and some have had success there.  Getting stuck in the Big 69/420 ain't gonna help

I feel like UW will have a good year and be in 10th place in the Big?. Same as USC, Penn St, Minny, etc.

He's from the South, he previously took over 2 other moribund programs and turned them around rather quickly.  I think he's a pretty good pick for them to be honest.  Especially because some of the more trendy names weren't interested.

I just received an ESPN text that the new Washington coach will be the now former Utah State coach.

After nearly 20 years of ole Stew at the helm, Utah State is now looking for their 5th coach since 2015.

Hard to replace The Legend.

[Hards Alumni]

Why do you think that? He's 65 years old and been doing it this way his entire tenure at UK - about 15 seasons.

And then I would have to ask, if he does WANT that reset, why didn't he do it at UK? He had all the power and authority to make such a change, but never did so.

Simple.  It hasn't worked in years.

I'm not sure he has the freedom to do exactly what he wants at UK.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but Pat Kelsey's name has been thrown around in Louisville.

aww damn it, that darn drew family name keeps popping up.  Bryce got the hell out of vandy before it left a scar and righted himself quite well at GCU

Bryce Drew's record at Vandy:

Year 1: 19-16, 10-8

Year 2: 12-20, 6-12

Year 3: 9-23, 0-18

First coach to ever go winless in the SEC.

Definitely none of that was his fault

Weren't there some key injuries at Vandy Drew's last year?

Darius Garland missed the season.

Drew since 2017-18 season, his last two years at Vandy and four years at Grand Canyon:

6-34 vs. SEC, -9 scoring margin

9-47 vs. P6 opponents, -9 scoring margin

It seems like he has recruited well for a low to mid major at GCU. And while I realize that yesterday was the only time I have seen a Drew coached GCU team, at no point did I think they looked all that well coached.

  that game was a big outlier

I was super disappointed in what I saw and the fact that he didn't seem to do anything to change things up.  missing 14 free throws was very uncharacteristic of the team.  allowing themselves to get into a track meet and lose the way they did was really disappointing  so many opportunities to change things up, but it was like they got sucked in to a the mayhem vacuum of a pretty good coach

Pete Thamel reporting Andy Enfield in the mix at SMU.  Interesting.  Very interesting.

Some smoke yesterday that Porter Moser was also in the mix... strange one.

[The Sultan]

Seems like both of them are looking for soft landing spots.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.

He could have gone to DePaul.......
