could it happen again?

I've been impressed at how he has evolved as an offensive coach. The tempo and type of games his teams would end up in at North Texas his last few years was a borderline disgrace to offensive basketball.

He probably knew he had to open it up a bit to get the type of players he needed in a major conference.

i wonder if we will give will wade a look now that paying players is legal. his resume is the exact kind that you’re looking for when filling a vacancy like this one. 

•jumped chattanooga up 163 spots from the previous year in his first year in charge. got hired by VCU after just two seasons.

•won the A10 and a tourney game in his first year at VCU. was hired by LSU after just two years at VCU.

•kenpom finishes at LSU:

66, 19, 37, 24, 21

his first four teams were elite offensively: 33rd, 12th, 4th, and 5th nationally in ORtg

his fifth team finished 6th in DRtg

•30-4 in first year at McNeese with a team that was 9th in the country in 3-point shooting and 6th in the country in forcing turnovers. 

THAT is the type of resume that Texas should be going after. not a guy with four months of d-1 experience, not a guy with 10 totally unremarkable years at fresno state and utep- no. a guy who’s young enough to stick around for two decades but proven enough to unarguably warrant his hiring and the optimism that comes with it.

will we actually go after will wade? i very seriously doubt it. but i love his resume, and it should be used as a template for the kind of coach we should be hiring at Texas.

 

Texas cares about perception, so someone like Wade is out. 

 

I do like what McCasland has done at tech this year, and if the rumors are to be believed, he was inquiring about the job when Beard was let go. I think CC at tech wouldn’t let him get away, though. With what they are doing with other sports and the disdain they have for Texas (especially after not recognizing their made up agreement after we left and after we took Beard), I think they would do whatever it took to keep McCasland. 

 

If RT got the boot, I could see CDC looking at someone like Kevin Willard. He’s not a sexy hire by any means, but his background fits.

(Not saying that is who I’d want either.)

The first decent P5 opening is on the board with Florida State as Hamilton is resigning/retiring at the end of the season. 

 

I used to give @Derka shit on Lloyd because I couldn’t see him leaving that job for the Texas job. Arizona is a good job, but now I’m warming up to Lloyd. I’m not sure what money issues Arizona has on the athletic side of the house compared to their academic side. With basketball being the star sport there, I’m wondering if some Arizona BMDs would step up to keep Lloyd. Winning the Big 12 in year 1 might change some things for Lloyd and Arizona though.

i have TJO and Lloyd in a tier above mccasland. i know that people think that TJO will never leave ISU, but they thought the same thing about The Mayor. we can offer him everything that ISU can’t, and he can coach here for 10-15 and still have plenty of years left to go back to ISU and win there. whenever we do hire a new coach, i hope we go after him hard.
