Message: [QUOTE="Brian Orange, post: 5649631, member: 948"] The new coach to me HAS to be a proven head coach to me first. Recruiting now is overrated. Autry is a good to very good recruiter and where has that gotten him? Hodgson feels like a good fit on paper but would like to see a year or two more coaching acumen from him. Shertz seems like the easy #1 option if he wants to come here. Luke Murray we have no idea if he can actually be a head coach and frankly we can't take the chance in my opinion. "Retread" is often thought of in a negative light but it could make an awful lot of sense to go that route. Maybe we catch someone at the right time and they want to stay put for their rest of their career like Rick Barnes has done at Tennessee. Chris Mack, Travis Steele, Johnny Dawkins, etc. I also think Wildhack with his connections COULD pull a rabbit out of a hat and maybe get some inside info that a bigger name would be interested in a change of scenery.
