Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[jdcatty]

Looks like Texas has a pretty good coach now. I thought Muss might get a shot there but there's no reason to be concerned now.

I don't have any idea what Nate Oats's contract situation is, but assuming he isn't locked up, Texas should consider going after him.  He has proven he can build a basketball program at a football school.

This shooting thing could push Oats out the door to distance himself from it but otherwise I don't see much point in going to Texas. Bama will probably match any offer. My guess is Oats sits on that job until a real blue blood opens such as Carolina, Duke, Michigan/State, UCLA, Kansas, Kentucky. He's from Wisconsin but I doubt anyone in that state is forking over what it would take to grab him up.

Texas either keeps the current interim (who has failed as a head coach elsewhere), another thought would be to go hard after someone like Billy Donovan who would undoubtedly still be a viable college head coach especially now that college ball has fallen in love with nba concepts. Muss could certainly be someone that come after too but hopefully there aren't enough mean tweets to his wife to push them away.

Life is cruel is it not? Chris Beard takes a job offer he would laughed at but beggars can't be choosers. Makes the SEC a beast. Will be interesting to see if he can win there and if he does, he is out the door. Would you hire Beard? Not sure I would as that police report still exists. Be real interested to see what conduct clause/outs the school has in that contract.

The fact Teasip hasn't removed the interim on Rodney Terry - at least a school protected 2-4 year deal with an easy out is shocking. Not sure who they think they can get but then that's how they roll in their orange cocoon of delusion. Does Nate Oates have an no-SEC clause? Otherwise who ya gonna get with the balls to strap it on in the SEC?

I have seen Argenal's name (Muss assistant) as a strong candidate for a couple jobs out west.

Wonder if we see what happened with football happen in basketball - the mid jobs pay well enough now it may not be worth the jump.

Pitno to St. John's makes a lot of sense but will SJU kiss the ring to make it happen?

this is going to be a very interesting and fun off-season on the coaching front.

McNeese State hired Will Wade (not a strong ass offer) and yet, he could still get hit with a show cause penalty,

Do you think the mid level salaries will ever get there?  You'll know better than me, but it seemed like a few years ago I read there were only something like 20 basketball schools that are self supportive (and maybe 3 baseball schools, ours obviously being one).

I believe he signed a big extension in the last couple of months. He's also been a PR nightmare for the last month. Not sure UT wants to mess with that on the heels of the Beard fiasco.

The last part is certainly true, and may be enough to scare off Texas

Hell.  Ole Miss is still fighting the Civil War.  How could they see any issue with a man showing his woman he meant it when he said to get back in the kitchen?

$11 million is a lot of cheddar to leave on the table. I don't blame him for suing. Sounds like SJU doesn't have the money to hire Ricky P and this is the cheapest way to raise the money.

[DrMongoose]

lots of rumors that Billy Donovan returns to the college game. Would not be surprised to see him land in Lexington if Cal moves on.

[jdcatty]

I agree on MA-- if you read the article, sounds like SJU had some very vague and ill defined reasons for firing him "for cause."

Probably justified. And it probably means Mike is done coaching.

Nah, he will get something in arbitration, or more likely it will be settled.

It's not like he beat his wife or anything

Probably so. And then as soon as the lawyer dust settles, bunches of schools are going to line up with job offers.

Apparently Pitino has been officially hired.  I think I predicted that a couple of weeks ago.  Yes, I am patting myself on the back.

done

Cooley is an excellent hire for G'Town...they'll be a nice 1 and done program again anyway.
