i'm just describing what idig is doing. that's not a pet phrase, that's just frustrating (see: impossible) to deal with.

Musselmsn should be fired on spot for only 36 points

Porter Moser with talent would be scary good.  Would hate to lose him to UT and I’m sure you all want a big name but the dude can coach.  

[HookEm 2492]

There is no reason to think Porter Moser would have significantly better talent at UT than OU. OU objectively has a better basketball history than we do and has plenty of money to get recruits. If he doesn’t have top end talent, it is his own fault.

[Rickylovesweed 15307]

Why would we want a coach that's won 0 NCAA tournament games and missed the tournament all 3 years so far at OU? Maybe it's a troll?

I don’t have any suggestions to add to this thread but whomever it is, I’m looking forward to it.

I got my eye on this dude. Tech tried to hire him as an assistant two years ago under McCasland and he is now at Drake. Won 4 national titles at the D2 level and has Drake 6-0 to start this season with wins over Miami, FAU and Vandy.

He is the coach that I wanted for the WSU job when they stupidly gave it to the interim guy and set the program back 5 years. My best friend played for NWMS in the 90's and has remained close to their teams and staffs since graduating. He has nothing but praise for McCollum. I don't imagine it would take much to convince him to leave Drake when the time comes. That is, if the Drake job doesn't kill him first.

Nice try, sooner. Why would we hire that block-headed dildo to replace a coach that is 4-0 in h2h matchups the last two seasons?

I mean I’m a huge fan of your HC, I’ll just leave it at that.  Thankfully Beard is a POS or there was gonna be a serious run but we are all safe, for now, with Terruh…

Two separate issues. Most of us realize we will need to replace Terry, but I think we want to actually get a better coach in the process.

Fair.  Still think Porter with talent is a very good coach.  

[HookEm 2492]

Why does Porter not have talent?

There is an up an comer out there at Ole Miss named Chris Beard.  Should we give that guy a look?

He’s busy doing advertising stuff with warby Parker

Need to see how the season plays out but Otzelberger looks like the real deal. 

He's young too.

McCollum looks like the truth. Drake beat Kansas State tonight and moved to 10-0 in McCollum's 1st year. 

.813 winning percentage at the D2 level with multiple national championships and now 10-0 at the D1 level. This guy just wins it looks like. He's also really young.

McCollum now has wins over Vandy, Miami, and K-State this year with a roster he primarily recruited out of the portal from his D2 team. 

He's beating power conference teams with a D2 roster. He won't be at Drake longer than a year. It's already pretty obvious he's a good coach.
