I feel very confident that any name being thrown around right now are pure guesses, so I wouldn't get too worked up over anything. This process is going to take a while. As I mentioned earlier, I don't believe we will know who the new coach is until the national media breaks the story. I remember when everyone was made to believe Lon Kruger was going to be our coach at one point. Sampson came out of nowhere. Crean came out of nowhere. This will likely be the same thing. This is just my opinion. Like I said, I've not heard a single name of who we are targeting. 

FWIW, I have what could at best be described at loose connections, and they’ve also heard nothing. I knew we had $6m+ for NIL as a reference for knowledge last offseason.

That said, it’s far more fun to say Brad Stevens until he goes on camera himself and says no.

If we are talking about Mark Turgeon for coach, go hire back Tom Crean.  

No kidding. I think a Tom Crean 2.0 update could hold it's own against some of these candidates, taking into account learning from one's own mistakes.

All these coaching names floating around,…..Jeff Goodman’s saying…….

I guess you can coach kids hard if they’re the right kids. Maybe the next guy can take a swing at it.

So let’s talk Rick Pitino.

I’m just picturing Dolson & Harper sitting in their office saying who should we throw at them now? I got one Mark Turgeon haha

Is Harper involved in the process? I know his position, but wasn't sure if he'd be involved in searches. His rise was rapid to deputy athletic director in a short period. Kudos to him.

Not an option. Not an option for IU to hire a 72 year old, and not an option for Rick to want to leave St. John’s at this point in his life.

But his 42 year old kid is a helluva coach. A coach that as an overmatched 34 year old was nevertheless B1G Coach of the year, and as a now still very young coach has his team at 22-4 in a tough conference.

I’m imagining our first game renewing the Kentucky series with Rick at the helm. We full court press Mark Popes Wildcats into submission.

Pitino would be an actual “bridge” hire as we prep for Brad.

Very much so. He’s impressive. He’s involved in everything.

I don't know much about him, other than that he rose really quick. Have to be impressive to move that vertical in the time he did, and was clearly earmarked to do big things in the department. 

Think Dolson has a good team around him...hoping we knock this out of the park.

If we are looking at Turgeon shouldn’t we also consider Bruce Weber?

[TheDMV 39]

I’m actually somewhat surprised it’s considered quite so outlandish to explore Turgeon. Does no one realize Mark was co-B1G champ right before covid wrecked all of his momentum?

That was not that long ago.

Okay, you had your fun. Now you are just trolling.

Uh...I know you're kidding, but didn't Georgia prove that Crean didn't learn from his mistakes? 

His time there was an ever-loving disaster...
