General Coach Candidate News

You hated our last Big 10 championship and Sweet 16 run?

Yes. Creans coaching failures were beyond obvious by then. It was not fun to watch for me. Seeing him bump his head up against his ceiling one last time was not something I cared to watch. And I largely didn’t.  
 

I would have much rather been onto another coach by then in search of our 6th banner. I understand some around here hold a certain affinity for Crean and/or that team. I do not.

As much as I Hate Cronin part of my reasoning why he wasnt the guy is Dolson wasn't paying 16-10mil to hire him.  Same logic goes for Brownell.  I can't fathom paying anything just to hire him, he's not that guy. 

I think Cronin and Brownell are both “good” coaches but in no world would I think either one was a good enough coach to justify their buyouts, especially on top of whatever “settlement” payout Woodson will likely get (as of April 1st Brownell’s would be $8.33 million and Cronin’s would drop to $10 million).

And for those who want to point to Allen’s buyout, that was a markedly different situation-the donors weren’t coming up with the $15 million then so they could come up with another huge bag in order to pursue a “name” or “elite” coach, they signed a coach who was making less than $1 million a year in his previous job.

If I were a big donor and Dolson came to me needing a bag for a buyout of a coaching candidate, it would need to either be a less expensive, or more impressive, name than Brownell or Cronin, or their  specific buyouts would have to be negotiated significantly lower.

So will both of those tourneys die off? Or be filled with low majors?

We’re going to see these post season tournaments die off within the next five years. Mid-major who want to get paid and join the big leagues will hit the portal as soon as their conference tourney’s are done. P4 players wanting a change will do the same. But pending these NIL deals and language in them, perhaps players will need to play in them to receive their full share? It will be something to keep an eye on.

Wasn’t the deal with the Crown or some other tournament a guaranteed payout for the players or the winning team like TBT? I thought that was the draw. 

I think we’ll see pre-season tourney’s and events continue, post season’s will die outside of the dance. Portal + revenue sharing will change this landscape sooner than later.

I tend to agree. Dolson isn’t stupid. You don’t fire Woodson to make a lateral move. Bare minimum you either hit a home run or you hire the potential guy (Ben).

Who will it be?

You sure the woody firing wasn't just damage control in the moment?
