Offer Jay Wright whatever he would want.

First call I'd make.

John Vincent Calipari is ready for a new challenge. 

[hobbes2702 13073]

Musselman

Wright

Ivey

I honestly don’t know who else we would even consider.

[Valmy77 13273]

I have to say whatever happens I have a lot of confidence CDC will handle it right. He has a great track record of hiring great coaches so far.

Call Steve Nash 

[Pancho 44995]

Y’all need to stop with the Jay Wright shit. 

Bro is retired. Let it go.

I don't think Calipari is a very good coach. Certainly not at this point.

[LonghornSean 4023]

Coach K

[dieucla98 2942]

Given how important recruiting is to college basketball, Ivey feels like a stretch. 

There are so few realistic names that are actually exciting. Musselman, if you can call that realistic, is the closest.

If we're REALLY looking to piss off a fan base, hire Kelvin Sampson. 

Icono would love that.

[Rockethorn1978 6102]

My first choice is this isn't what it seems and Beard is our coach.

 

After that I'll be so pissed I won't give a fuck and anyone outside of a for sure home run hire won't move the needle for me.

Muss isn 't leaving Arkansas I guarantee it. Oats is kinda meh. after that? it's all meh.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Coach K would be fun. 
 

Stevens?

Just now, JFKFC said:

Yes. Though this is based on the fact that Closetojumping assures me CDC has nothing at all to do with football hirings.

[Js1 85574]

Glancing at the current top 25:

• Highly unlikely to jump - Painter, Bennett, Self, Drew, Calipari, Few, Scheyer, Gard, Holtmann, Larranaga
• Big old no thanks: Sampson (too old), Pearl (lol), Dixon, Underwood
• Still have a lot to prove: Janhs, Willard, Young
• No Rick Barnes 2.0
• Muss, Oates, Hurley, Lloyd, Cronin?

google tells me tommy lloyd is only making about $3 mill per season at arizona.  we could try and money whip him.

[Pancho 44995]

Arizona only has 1 title. I thought they had more than that. They also haven’t been to the FF since 2001. 

Despite that, it just feels like Arizona is a better job than Texas due to prestige. I don’t see Lloyd happening unless CDC does his magic. (Then again, I didn’t see the women hiring Vic either.)

[BigOrange1 6471]

oh i agree that an arizona->texas move doesn't feel likely, but if you offer to nearly double his salary maybe he jumps/arizona can't match?

i just realized i'm going to need to update my avatar...

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Ooooo Tommy would be lit!

Pretty lateral, all things considered, IMO.

Is it? A lot of these non-USC/UCLA coaches are going to have to make decisions about their careers and whether it makes more sense to move to SEC/B1G programs.  Arizona is in that weird in-between - they could stay in a watered down Pac-12 without the SoCal schools or they could join the Big 12, but down the road, maybe, who knows? 

CDC should be able to sell the shit out of a new arena and a move to a new conference.

Ivey HC with Terry as an assistant is my current best case scenario. 
 

I don’t see recruiting taking a hit with Ivey.

I did that first thing this morning.  Just in case.  Looks like I'll be sticking with "Kevin's Famous Chili" until this situation gets unfucked.

Interim coach? Avery Johnson. He’s well connected to some BMD at Texas and knows Jay as well. He’s around campus for some of the sports leadership and sports analytics stuff as well as some real estate events.

I don't think Beard gets fired (I hope). We don't have all of the facts, and he still has to go before the magistrate.

Too late. #metoo says he’s fired. They’ve all read the tweets! He’s guilty and done. And it’s Austin.

Yeah? I would be surprised if they don't just promote an assistant for continuity. This is still a great team and a new coach changing things in the middle of the season may do more harm than good.

Of course this is basketball, NBA teams change coaches midseason all the time so maybe it is not as big of a deal as other sports.

Terry is likely the coach the rest of the season. I think it’s possible he might get a short term offer if results go perfect. Otherwise I think we are shopping all season and announcing after the season.

I originally said it jokingly but I really would like us to go after Nash if he would be interested in such a thing. Ivey was on staff at BKN with him and he has the ties to KD. I also don’t see how he wouldn’t be an incredible influence and recruiter.

He bit, slapped and choked a woman. He’s already fired, he’s just waiting for the push notification.

I like Lloyd and Musselman are quasi realistic options.  Oats would be below them in my pecking order. But he would still be a good candidate all things considered, and Alabama feels like a place that’s easier to leave in basketball than Arkansas or Arizona.  

Oats would be right there.

[Funk Doctor Spock 12512]

Rodney Terry might be an assistant for a reason. 0/10 Would not recommend

Allegedly, bro. Who hasn't bit a woman every now and then? They love it, even when the cops are called.

If we won a national title this year under an interim coach

We did it with tennis.

Didn’t Indiana have an interim coach take them to the FF a while back? They hired him and he was a disaster?

I don’t think Nash is a college coach. No experience, hasn’t had to deal with the portal, doesn’t sound like the recruiting type. He strikes me as NBA only.

 

 

At this point, I’d take Brock as the HC instead of Terry.

So, to be clear, your contention is that this police report could be incorrect to the extent that we should retain Beard, and that the #metoo brigade is canceling him before all the facts come out?

I'd argue instead that you're enough of a fucking moron that even a relative lurker like myself knows it, and takes like that are embarrassing.

No I’m saying let him have his day in court. If every police report was correct we wouldn’t have wrongful convictions. We have a legal system that decides guilt not posters on surly. If he is then yes fire him.
