2024 Coaching Carousel

They are also very active in the NIL arena, back in 2022 ensuring that every member of the Men's Football and Basketball teams got a minimum of $36k per year, and for the elite players there is a deep pool of cash to make the players happy.

I can confirm that. Still lost a few players to TCU and Sonny Dykes, but TCU isn't too far behind (if at all) in $.

A writer on the cardchronicle reports that Louisville reached out to Shaka and were told no.

Their delusion is pretty embarrassing. They need to open their eyes and read the room.

You at least have to make the call

I don't think they understand how fundamentally things have changed for them. Or most programs really. Successful coaches that are in good situations and making good money aren't usually going to put that at risk to take a pressure cooker type gig.

And I don't know if rocket still believes he is going to take the job, but why would Scott Drew do that? He seems to be in a good place with Baylor, makes a boatload of money, and won a national championship there. Why would he risk that to go to a place where the last two coaches haven't even lasted four seasons?

Shaka heard the wolves at the door in Texas.  Beard took his dream job there afterwards - and it still fell apart for him.

The ONLY thing I'll say is that it MAY behoove coaches to be in the B1G or the SEC... at some point.

I could see Drew looking for a new challenge.  Some of these guys thrive on that.  Maybe he sees a landscape changing where Baylor can't compete with regards to NIL, too.  He's young enough to take that plunge.

JMU coach going to Vandy

Friend of mine was at the last Uconn game and his ticket was among JMU fans. Nice people and the guy behind him was the head of their NIL. This guy said after the game that the coach was gone " he makes $600k a year and somebody will offer 1MM"

[tower912]

WKU fans behind me on Friday said their coach needs to move up.

I read this article earlier...the way the response from Shaka's people was described is so refreshing.

Not sure where, but I remember hearing Sean Miller laughed when someone mentioned the Marquette job to him back in 2008 after Crean left.  It's nice to be on the other side of that for once.

Never heard the story, but it makes sense. He was just coming off an Elite 8 at Xavier and knew he was getting something bigger.

[MuggsyB]

Shaka loves MU and MU loves Shaka.

And now we would laugh at Sean Miller.  NIL is a b1tch for him...he lost his competitive advantage.

[StillAWarrior]

Shaka loves MU and MU loves Shaka.

I think it's worth mentioning that Shaka also seems to love Milwaukee and Milwaukee seems to love Shaka.

Seems like Waco would be a place where someone would be eager to leave.

True dat.  We are in great shape moving forward.

According to someone on here it's a done deal

Drew is always entertaining to me.  Always voted the biggest cheater by his peers, always preaches his religion.

I think that must mean the Ben McCollum to OK St rumors have some truth to them.  The Missouri State job seemed like a no brainer for both parties, but if there are bigger options in the room, then that would makes sense for Missouri State to grab the retread.
