Jay Wright is my choice for SU’s new coach.

Everyone will be highly disappointed when Red Autry is named next head coach. JB has total control over the basketball program.
We aren’t going outside of the family, Jim will not allow it. Wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t end up in an executive role to still have his fingerprints on the team.
Also JB has to retire first. There will be a whole new crop of young coaches to look at by the time that happens. Current names are just moot at this point.
 
Jay Wright is making over $6M with CBS after leaving Nova because he'd lost his edge to coach.
 
Didn’t know we were looking, but there is an ironclad plan from what I here.
Luv JB but he was born during WWII. I am sure we are looking for a replacement or the administration is negligent.
 
Did JB retire all of a sudden?
JB was born in WWII. Luv him but administration must have a plan moving forward. Any solid organization public or private has a plan.

Jay is actually a little stiff in his tv work.
He could use a little coaching...but for some inexplicable reason tv outlets rarely do that.
Maybe just some more practice because he's such a great resource.
 
There is no danger in pursuing him, but the chances of him agreeing are very low.

I will say however the chances now are at least higher than when he was at Villanova. He would never have left Nova for Syracuse. The posts that Wright would leave a Nova, or Few leave a Gonzaga were silly.

At least now if he gets tired with the broadcasting gig, there is no Villanova standing in our way.

Agree and maybe his coaching batteries got recharged. I doubt he is interested, but also, 62 is getting a little old to start over and I wonder if he could catch the magic a second time in a different setting.

I'm still thinking Shaka Smart who is looking better and better.

I'm sure the holier-than-thou among us might be triggered by Pitino, but his hire would be a home run. He was cleared of those charges against him, so why not?
Ironically I can see JB being totally against hiring his former assistant- wouldn't want anyone to steal his thunder.

Nobody ever said there was an ironclad plan on who to hire.

So what IS there an ironclad plan on? That we’ll need another Head Basketball coach at some point in the future?

When JB would retire.
 
We can afford to pay a new coach $15M if my previous calculations are correct.
 
Jay Is a religious man it is close to his heart. Adam can build him a nice church or work with an existing one and he can have the best of both worlds, saving people with the church and using his position as a coach to further build said church. Money is not an issue for Jay so that is not an issue. We need to get creative or we will not get a quality coach.
How do you dream up this nonsense?

Agreed. We need to think big to get us back to national prominence. Anything less than that is a slap in the face to the people who have built this program. We need not wait when so many coaches are out there who are fully able to get us in the top 20. Pitino is not morally perfect but who is? He can coach his ash off. We have to go with proven winners who can thread the needle right away.
