So who hires Blackwell?

[Trueblue25]

In the event this team makes it to and/or wins the TBT championship, (I’m not trying to get ahead of myself) what colleges start sniffing at Blackwell? The last quarter of tonight was beautifully coached imo especially the last three or four possessions.

If gmac gets a hc gig id love to see him on staff

 

[albanycuse]

I talked about him getting a job at SU after he won the coach of the year last season.

I think he would be a great addition if we have an opening

 

[Col. Bleep]

He's a big advantage.
It didn't seem the opposition had any real in-game coaching.

Their coach was hilarious

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Let's go non-Orange.
If Orange, prefer Herman Harried.

None. Unless you're a NAIA school, you want to invest in someone who has a bit of a track record whether it be high school, AAU or college.

Blackwell has a HS record, coached Liverpool to the state champ this year. He also coached in Japans top pro league for a few years.

He's coached 4 years in Japan as a head coach and AAU here as well as a great HS coaching career.

Didn't know about Japan.

With that said, based off of his high school record alone, it is still too soon IMO to offer anyone based off of that. If he can do this consistently for a few more years, you'd think the interest would be raised at least for an assistant level role.

We shall see, never can tell for these jobs, there are too many variables to determine who fills what openings.

why his hs record alone? that's only part of his resume.

If you were an ambitious AD at a small school or a school with a losing tradition and you gave him his first job and he knocked it out of the park, you would both be rich. And he will, NO DOUBT.

All of that. He's shown some serious coaching talent. He's cool under pressure and knows how to use personnel. I like the thread!@

 

[Trueblue25]

The wins vs team foe last year and against fancy last night had some coaching brilliance to them. In my opinion im surprised he went unoffered, to the public eye, by a college

 

[MSOrange]

As an assistant, sure. But seems like a school would want to see how he recruits, or at least his plans for building a staff that can recruit, before hiring him for a head job.

that's a valid question.

 

[CousCuse]

I think he would take Devo as his No.1 AC. That would be a nice team and they are already very familiar with each other.

 

[Newhouser]

what does he do for a living here? I would think at his age he would start aggressively pursuing more lucrative offers.

I could see a smaller school giving him a shot as a head coach. Bigger schools would bring him on as an asst.

He's been a head coach for 5 different organizations now. I think he would find it hard to go back to being an assistant. Right now I think he would be a very good risk/reward hiring proposition for some team.

I agree, I just think if he wanted to go to a big-time program, he'd have to start as an Asst

Does he have any college coaching experience?

He coached 2 pro teams in Japan, made the playoffs twice. Liverpool 3 years. won the state championship and Boeheim's Army, made it to the semi's last year. He also has been involved in AAU coaching and I would think between that and Liverpool, he must know a lot of high school coaches.
