I would be shocked if Schmidt leaves Bona for BC, too. Especially going into next season when they should be really good.There needs to be some rationalization of some of the names thrown out here. Why would Randy Bennett, a west coast coach throughout his entire career, go to a dumpster fire of a program on the East Coast?
That is so true, dumb move to fire Skinner, they haven't been able to replace him
I think it makes sense logically. It will be interesting to see what approach the BC administration takes. Schmidt is a guy who will take a few years to get it going. If the admin wants a “win now” coach, they might do some more dumb things.Schmidt is a BC alum if they actually pay 2 million per year I think he takes that job.
Gerry couldn’t get the Siena job. BC needs to get this hire correct. They haven’t made the NCAAT since 2009.Gerry makes too much sense for this job if he's given a stamp of approval from Boeheim and Wildhack. I mean let him go learn on the job and build that program up.
Rick Pitino is the fix now candidate that they can't afford. He'd do wonders for them getting back to the NCAA but alot of noses would have to be held to accomplish this lift.
Christian was a complete outsider type hire. I think it makes sense they go for an alum here and suspect Schmidt is their top pick.Gerry couldn’t get the Siena job. BC needs to get this hire correct. They haven’t made the NCAAT since 2009.
They will hire a midmajor HC and hope he has the program good in 3 years.

Not sure if they will pay what he needs to leave Bona.
Again, if it was me, I would go for Cooley. He has the contacts and recruiting ability in the East and New England to turn things around pretty quickly.
But there is BC we are talking about. Doubt they go that direction.

BC screwed up the last time in 2013 when Hopkins interviewed and wanted the job. Also Bruce Pearl was working as an analyst for ESPN and probably would’ve taken the job as an alum. They chose a Mac coach who didn’t do a great job and gave them seven years. If Mike Hopkins got seven years at that job they would have been in the NCAA tournament by now.What is the Cooley direction mean? I think they'd love to have him but he's aspiring to go higher is my guess. He was Al's right hand man at BC so that is a plug and play.
I think if they want the best alum go get Bruce Pearl. But he comes with roughly 3,000 red flags i would guess. The alum route makes sense if you are looking to build on a legacy. BC has zero legacy that they are trying to build back into. They have had coaches who have had varying degrees of success. They need to import a legacy and some sort of infrastructure. That's why i think Gerry would make a decent hire. He comes with the Syracuse pedigree and is young, enthusiastic and could potentially get Joe Girard types to the Heights (they lost out on him). He would matter to the local AAU circuit, ISL league, etc.
He would be a home run hire. He would be a steal.They should reach out to Beilein.
IMHO, BC would never hire someone like Pearl or Pitino. They don't have the ambition, they don't have the money and would not be able to tolerate the heat making a controversial hire like one of these guys.What is the Cooley direction mean?
