If Vandy can go 9-4 over this stretch then we should be offering him $20 mil.
Shaka, Byington, DeVries, Rhoades
Because theyāre not going 12-6 in the SEC Dave thatās how. But if we want to play in fantasyland I think we wonāt hire Byington because Ron Sanchez goes undefeated the rest of the way and wins us a second national title, even though Jay Huff plays zero minutes for us along the way
Kyle Smith is the best coach in the ACC right now. We should go get him like we mightāve if Bennett retired last Spring on a normal timeline. Used to academically challenging jobs at Stanford and Columbia. Would extend our Washington State pipeline.
You have to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure.
UNC people I talk to are frothing to get rid of him. Not sure if it happens this year or later but he is not showing well currently.
Iām of the belief if Manek didnāt get hot at the right time he wouldnāt be there now. Or I guess if Dawson Garcia didnāt abruptly leave the team.
Good to know. Kind of irrelevant since heās not leaving the state of Texas anyways. Hell of a coach though.
If we expanded the under the radar list to include Huss, Richey, Bucky, then Iād probably create 2 tiers: Tier 1: Turner & Calhoun. Tier 2: Gerlufsen, Huss, Richey, Bucky.
The tier 1 guys are pretty proven successful head coaches. Tier 2 has some upside but a lot of risk.
Full disclosure: Iām a big fan of Turner and think he should be getting more consideration than it seems he may be. If he keeps winning and makes noise in March, he should have a real shot (if heās interested).
One could also say if Manek and Love didnāt get hurt heād have hung a banner and had an even longer leash
Fans here in NC are passionate⦠One of my friends grew up a diehard heels fan then end up attending NC State and Still roots for heels when they play each other.
They both got hurt in the title game? I didnāt remember that, and stat sheet shows they both played 36 minutes.
Consideration by whom? This board?
Only people who matter
Iād have to go back and look and see exactly when it happened but they both twisted their ankle badly and both played hurt and were way less than 100%
Will Wade to Miami not happening. No mutual interest apparently.
Also Kevin Durant is pushing Royal Ivey to be the next Texas coach whoever that is.
Heās a former NBA player that played his college hoops at Texas and is now an assistant with the Rocketsā¦and coached South Sudanās menās team in the Paris olympics.
He played with and then coached KD when he was with the Thunder.
Think I remember his name getting brought up as a potential replacement when the Beard stuff was going on, and before Terry won the job with his tourney run.
David Riley has a degree in mathematical economics. Just sayin
Intrigued by Riley. Definitely too early to hire him IMO, but I like the model we have with lacrosse of just taking the successful coach from the same school again. Itās worked well there
