Coach Search Options after Autry

[Briancuse]

I've heard good things about Doug Gottlieb

I give him a lot of credit.

I give him a lot of credit.

He’d take it.

I want to believe this but to me that would imply talking with P5 level coaches which would be really surprising to me.

Jay Bilas for the win!

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

He’d take it.

JB's head might literally explode.

Mine too.

Need to invest a little more unfortunately. What do UCONN, South Carolina, LSU, UCLA, etc pay their players. How much is needed to compete with The Big Dogs. Last year Coach was begging for working treadmills. She is a miracle worker.

And the freshman center is amazing, great athlete. And they run, sometimes too fast, but exciting.

The man knows how to make a phone call.

So who are we realistically looking at? Sounds like the top guys aren’t interested or are out of our price range.

Nobody knows. Everything you hear or read is 100% pure fan speculation/dreaming.

If that's the case on Hodgson, I think it might be a good sign that Wildhack is having some conversations with stronger candidates. Some of the names that are starting to emerge, even if it's just Phil doing some research here for us, show that there are a lot of potentially excellent options.

Schertz to Ohio State just... feels... likely.

Ohio State might not even fire Diebler. Everyone needs to slow their roll.

I see us going for some big dogs and them all turning us down for bigger jobs that open up.

Ultimately they turn to Gmac . I’m picturing how this will play out and everyone will be on board w the process once it’s set this way

Honestly the Siena game last night and how Gerry operates was eye-opening compared to our team/staff.

I’m starting to lean this way as well, maybe hop. I also think some big dogs might like the job but we don’t have the resources to afford them.

Consider the Cignetti route. Who are THE best lower level coaches.

Right now it looks like Jim Crutchfield but he's 69 years old. That excludes him but these are the guys we should pound the pavement for. Iowa snatched up the most recent best candidate; Ben McCollum.

Jim Crutchfield
Nova Southeastern
Career record 222–26 (.895)

Overall Career record
581–87 (.870)

Last 4 years 135-5; 2 National Championships, 1 runner up and 1 elite 8.

Curious, what do you consider "bigger jobs"? To me, the biggest jobs are those with a combination of history and potential. What do you see opening up that provides significantly more of that than Syracuse? If the university is going to pay up there aren’t too many. The tired old narrative of poor old Syracuse is both tired and old. It's just factually incorrect. This job offers massive upside for the right hire. That to me is undebatable.
