Market down.
Really? To coach a major program that needs to recruit against power conference foes? I'm sure he is an excellent x and o guy but no major school would hire a guy from a Colgate at this time. 20 to 30 years ago, sure. There are plenty of terrific coaches that would never get a shot now. That is the type of hire that gets a A.D. fired if it doesn't work. A stronger resume guy doesn't. I have told this story before, but a number of years ago, the University of Lowell won the D-2 national title. The same year, the Umass job came open and the Lowell coach couldn't even get an interview.
You are probably right. Dave Pauslen was very good at Bucknell and he can't get it going at George Mason in the A10. He's a solid coach but he doesn't recruit the talent you need to be anything above mediocre in a multi-bid league.
ZERO percent chance Blackwell goes from a local high school coach to coaching Syracuse. He won’t even get an interview. I can see if Red gets the job he might bring Blackwell on as Basketball Ops or the 3rd assistant. But he wouldn’t even be guaranteed the 3rd assistant let alone interview for the head spot
We shall see. I don’t want him as head coach anyway.
Only thing remotely similar that comes to mind is UNLV hired a high school football coach. He went 20-40 and got fired.
No one could have seen that coming.
Notre Dame hired a high school football coach as their head football coach (Gerry Faust). Not that it was a successful endeavor either.
He could be coaching elsewhere by the time Jb retires. Think people.
Blackwell has no control over Boeheim’s Army. They are not well coached. He won’t and shouln’t get a sniff.
Because by the time jb retires he could be coaching elsewhere.
Right, like he’s not even there lol. Its sad.
I agree he shouldn’t get a sniff but it’s impossible to compare his coaching ability to what happens with Boeheim’s Army. Boeheim’s army is grown men with a lot of professional experience, playing for a million dollars, with limited practice time and a totally different setting than say a high school or college setting yanno?
