Coach Search Options after Autry

[pokercuse08]

Wikipedia never destroyed the planet, surprised you're on board with that username. And it was also sourced so gave correct information, unlike whatever the hell that incorrect summary was above saying UConn played an "european style offense"

I generally speaking hate AI and think it's going to be terrible for most of society and the planet. But, it's not going anywhere, so might as well enjoy goofing around with some pictures.

Regarding it's deeper level output, whether it's basketball analysis or analyzing world events, the quality goes up or down drastically based on the prompts and how you judge it.

Off the top of my head, Hodgson, Kadary Richmond, Erik Reynolds, Malik Mack, Jesse Edward’s, Hop 30 mil, Smith and Rippey, Schertz. Have any of these low chance situations actually ever happened?

Brian Blair would be just that. Very few put his name out there.

 

[FireballPhil]

As someone who had lived in STL the past decade plus our board cares about Schertz way more than anyone here.

I would agree with this. I live 3 hours away from St. Louis and don't hear a peep. It is actually kind of unnerving how little you hear about it.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

It's business. You dont want the best coach on the market because hs broke his verbal commitment?

Yes. But I also don’t care if kids renege on verbal commitments. Some folks here get themselves all riled up and are disparaging, at best about the kids and their lineage, yet they are rooting for Shertz to break his verbal agreement, which was negotiated in good faith. I don’t like hypocrisy. Situational ethnics should be avoided whenever possible.

It’s one game. One doesn’t prove anything more than the other. People seem to think coaching one good game makes him a genius.

He’s had a number of these “one games” this year hasn’t he?

 

[CuseCO]

Prepping myself for a surprise similar to the AD selection. Thus, a name I havent seen mentioned in this thread yet.

Schertz, BH, GMac, Martelli Jr, Skinn, Murray, K Young, Otz, Hopkins, Groce, Steele, Gallo, Olen, Langel, James Jones.

Is there ANY chance it is someone not listed? (I likely also missed a name or 3 that should be listed).

 

[Irishsecra1]

You’re the one rationalizing hiring a coach based on one half of basketball. Duke ran Siena off the court the last 17 mins. They ran TCU off the court the last 20 mins. That’s what happened. Both games were exactly the same.

If gerry played at any other school he wouldn’t even be mentioned with this job.

So losing by 4 to Duke is the same as losing by 23 to Duke?
The only thing that is the same is both lost.
One was in it fighting till the last minute, one got steamrolled.

I’m about 2 and a half hours east of Saint Louis in Indiana and you’d never know STL was ranked in the top 25 and won a tourney game based on local coverage. Most of our in the Midwest area where I live suck and SLU got zero coverage.

After 5 years of no ncaa tournament, I am tired of ethics, id like to win again.

It's just a tool, like any other.

Even if it was 90% Gmac and a distant 10% chance at Schertz the process was nicely done by BB.

Right now if you're not in the Gmac camp because you're so damn sick of the JB Family Tree (I get it) but then you're getting a call saying put your money where your mouth is because if we get the money we're getting Schertz. If they don't pony up then it's on them.

Same with gmac crew. From day one that crew floating Hop and then Gmac knew that the only way it works is with a huge NIL bump.

The point is that with both options there is money flowing from both sides so it's a win no matter what.

We could very well be here with a Hop, BH, Skinn final list and then what. If that's the list no way the different factions are giving to each other and they're walking away real upset with the process walking into portal season.

If this plays out with either Gmac or Schertz, BB did his job as good as it could've been done given the crap he was brought into.

 

[Lame-0]

Can only consider people who want to be considered. Folks think everyone wants to coach at SU.

How do you know he doesn’t want to be considered?

I disagree why is it just Schertz or gmac? There are other good candidates out there. Like martelli

 

[jncuse]

I think its pretty crazy to create a point for your side based on comparing results of a few tournament games.

I'm hoping a one game tournament sample is not used by anybody making the decision (and is completely ignored), and they look at things far deeper in terms of performance, whether its for GMac or Schertz.

 

[PoppyHart]

If Gerry and Schertz have both declined we might end up hiring Red Autry back

With Kline?

 

[Cheriehoop]

So, his team improved over the year. Novel concept

And despite losing key players over the year too.

Also that may not be enough beer to get through the rest of this thread.

It’s like friggin groundhogs day around here (he says on the push to 1000!), same exact posts/debates/discussions, same shite different pages/posts. Including this post as I see now! Lol

It’s like we’re all working in shifts around here, workin it, taking a break for a while and now here comes the night shift with this occurring!

We don’t. The OP assumed he wanted to be and wasn’t. Assumed facts not in evidence.

yes, they both got blown out in the second half and they both lost. Moral victories mean nothing in the end.

Coaching with passion isn't enough. You have to win.

This isn't about GMAC per se, but I agree 100% with what you're saying. Brian.

It is not compelling to hear things like:

• "...nobody wants to win more than this guy..."
• "...he bleeds orange..."
• "...he gets his players to play hard..."
• "...he coaches with passion..."

At this point, with our program on a significant multi-year trend of decline, I'd rather focus on more tangible evaluative criteria. But that's just me.

Ok, but never (I don’t know if you do) complain about a kid changing his verbal commitment)

I pretty much did that years ago.

 

[SuFTW]

Axe blasted a text about Schertz this morning. Not that he has a ton of followers but he has a big mouth and if he knows alot of people know too.

People might want to remember too that maybe we want to let the gals celebrate a big win tonight before stealing their thunder with the mens head coach.

They are not announcing the coach at night.

You’re saying Wikipedia always gave correct information? In what world was that.
