Coach Search Options after Autry

[pearl31]

He got a late start to the portal this year and still had a decent season. Hes a hell of a coach. Give him next year and then make a judgement.

As a Minnesota resident, alum, and watcher, I can assure you he's not a hell of a coach, despite his genes.

I added proper context to your post. There is a difference between DI and DII. Everyone knows that.

There is a difference playing in the MAAC also but people dont see to care about that.

Here is tonights math question: How many people must donate $44 in order to purchase one basketball player who is a 6th man off the bench.

One non-conference saturday dome crowd.

We should have an NIL day. Get your $44 commemorative t-shirt at the door. If you’re not wearing one in the crowd, you look cheap.

I think realistic four would be

Murray - UCONN ASST
Martelli Jr - VCU
Groce - Akron
Steele - Miami OH (This one scares me but I cant argue with the offense)

 

[pearl31]

Has there been any murmurs of any school pursuing Murray yet?

Revived his career at New Mexico.

I think it was AZOrange said we were on him early early. Dont know if we stopped because BH looked really good.

 

[Brooky03]

About 23,000 (check my math but that should just over 1 million I did it in my head)

The math works but no 6th man is making a million

meh, saw quite enough at Min

JJ was making more and he should have been 6th man at best

Yeah but any other schools? Like, why wouldn't provy or bc at least interview him

I guess you haven’t read all 550 pages of this thread.

Olen seems like a good coach. I think it’s an extreme stretch to think he’s the top candidate to take over as Syracuse HC. There are at least a half dozen candidates that appear to be a better fit.

Clever

 

[phil77]

Groce had a rough go at a good job at Illinois but he is a very good coach

I have to look into what happened with him because most of his career his teams really struggled with offense and now the last two years, his offense has been great. I think the two brothers got some help with the offensive side of the ball because their offense sort of took off recently.

 

[GHLF]

BH was a year or more in the making - at any point they never considered the NIL situation? I have no words.

I utterly refuse to believe that, I believe this is a character issue and has nothing to do with this way pretty Girlfriend 0. I think there was honestly some bad blood several years ago and it was not forgotten, possibly rightfully so I have no idea,

Yup I haven't read all the pages. I just jumped in tonight.

Blair is in charge of picking the new head coach, correct?

?

 

[OptimusOtto]

There’s not even a place to donate for basketball for NIL. Sure you can donate to SU, but that’s not going to help NIL.

When Orange United folded I emailed the athletic department for where I should start redirecting my monthly contribution and got no response.

The last 2 scare me because of their previous struggles at higher level programs. The lack of HC experience gives me pause about Murray, though I'd take him over the other 2 for his upside. I think Martelli is the safest pick with the chance to be really good. Besides his coaching success in each of his 3 seasons, including making the tournament w/ 2 different teams, he has great bloodlines and beat Hodgson by 12 this year.

If Olen is seriously considering a move from the west coast, he is one of the best coaches on the market. Top 3 easily. You’ve either never watched one of his teams or are blinded by orange glasses

That part is strange maybe they reached out and he said no thanks?

D1 has much more recruiting and NIL job requirements. DIII does not.

The difference between high D1 and low D1 to low D1 and D3 reminds me of a quote from Brian Scalabrine after he torched a bunch of former college players 1-on-1 as an old man, “I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me.”

Iron Dukes for starters.

They basically have a secret society of donors where you have to pass a process to be a donor in their group.

Is that the group led by a couple of quiet hedge fund guys?

 

[ezbeezy214]

It’s either Gerry or a surprise candidate. Who are siding with?

TJ Otzlberger

Yeah I'm surprised PC didn't go after him considering his Dad coached there.
