2024-25 Coaching Carousel

[OrangeXtreme]

This is Coyle.

Remember the details of his leaving for Minnesota? He was scheduled to attend a meeting of ACC ADs (probably in North Carolina). They call the meeting to order and there's an empty chair. "Where's the Syracuse AD?" He was in Minneapolis, being introduced as the new Minnesota AD.

He never advised his fellow ADs nor his compatriots at SU.

It was either Atlanta, or Amelia Island outside of Jacksonville.

I don’t really see the issue. Teams are already being led by their new coaches: Miami, FSU, Utah, etc… and out there recruiting.

If he didn’t do it now, he’d have to wait until Sunday night or Monday morning.

Unless he fired him by phone/text/zoom, in which case it would be made into a bigger deal.

Exactly. The way Coyle left SU was pretty classless but I don't think he did anything wrong here. Transfer portal and recruiting starts soon and there's no time to waste. Coaches have been fired in the locker room after a game and on the tarmac. This was fine.

Or get a very very good contract

I think Indiana might win a bidding war.

I think Indiana might win a bidding war.

Indiana might lose out to Iowa if McCaffrey retires as most of the Iowa fans hope he does.

Drake coach McCollum is an Iowa native.

Chris Collins is a possible coach at Indiana if he wants to move on from Northwestern to a school with more NIL.

Completely agree. "Ruthless" would have been sending the 2:09 AM social media message without telling the coach in person.

Great.

Well, knocking on a guy's door at 2 AM to give him a pink slip is pretty harsh. Could have waited until the next morning.

It was either Atlanta, or Amelia Island outside of Jacksonville.

It was the latter.

Meh, with what these guys are making, "ruthless" isn't actually a thing.

They'll be fine.
