Coach Search Options after Autry

[LpoolNative]

Didn’t Jay Wright recently step down from his analyst gig?

I seriously think it’s him or Gerry.

Don’t think it’s Oats or TJ, but I’d take any of those guys.

 

[hoopsupstate]

If TJ is the hire I will record myself doing the naked cartwheel

I just read that if Davis gets let go at Carolina that TJ might be on a short list. Iowa State’s financial situation is in dire straits and people say it’s the reason he might be looking elsewhere.

The absolute line I would still draw in the sand is to not bring in the whole Blackwell AO assistant crew if we do go with Gerry, which I still think would be a shortsighted bad long term decision. But at the VERY least, bring in an offensive minded assistant who brings a clear vision for offensive sets. I don't know nearly as much as some here on the specifics, but it seems like Gerry is not gonna bring in some elite sophisticated offensive system that gets us back on track in that department, like a Luke Murray would. If you look at their season as a whole that seems more clear.

I am still overall anti hiring gmac and think one game should not be the end all be all. Social media acting like it would be a guaranteed slam dunk is clearly clouded by recency bias. But it is getting very hard to deny that he would be excellent at getting maximum effort out of his players and encourage a far better culture than most coaches. Those are key points in his favor. They are far from everything!!! But they are points in his favor.

I agree but he needs them guys and honestly they know what he wants. Ao is a good bigs coach. They do need to fill in blanks after that.

Havent there been whispers that 'Bama wanted to dump more into Football and take some away from Basketball? Thought there was some talk about that at one point

If it were Oats I wonder if he’s getting tired of running hoops at a football school a long ways from home… that said when so many hard feelings it’s hard to see him being welcomed if it was him too

I think it was more than just money.

I truly hope it was recognition of his slimy spin, and presentation. Skilled people with a heart coupled with wisdom can truly and potentially see motives. That would be my hope and for that I am thankful. Failure can still occur as it relates to an alternate choice, however character would not be the reason for it. In addition to that I very much trust that this University now realizes that all aspects must considered in relation support. I believe we are trying very hard.

Yes. Short list includes Mark Byington as well.

They like to see their name EVERYWHERE.

No way on Golden, he probably gets whatever he wants out of Florida. Would have to be someone that is maybe a bigger name coach that has a problem with resources at his current school.

Carolina’s first choice.
