General Coach Candidate News

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,646]

This guy's available and I think he's one of the few we haven't talked about.   lol

Coaching carousel news: Utah has fired coach Craig Smith, a source tells CBS Sports. Smith was hired in 2021. Went 65-61. Utah is 15-12 this season and plays Wednesday at Arizona.

Because it isn’t a 247 board.  It’s something else 

My girlfriend goes to another school, too. Just giving you a hard time! When you said 24/7 I went right over there since I'm a member, and was a little confused by their board and nothing about Scott Drew could be found. I did see a few of their posters think Nates Oates is in play, and I didn't see one poster defending Chris Beard.

Here he says it's close but not a done deal

I found the right area, just haven't found his post yet. 

Someone posted links in the Scott Drew thread.

I read where they think Brad Brownell would be a grand slam hire for them, along with Sean Miller

I just assumed when I saw it last night it was 247 site.   The format looks the same

On other boards/forums - I do think it's kinda weird how so many 'regulars' and site owners jump on anyone who has a rumor or overheard a statement. Honestly one of the things that brought me to this board since I have subscriptions to 3 others and very rarely post in any of them. Kinda nice to read stuff whereas as long as someone seems like they are just trying to add to the info they aren't attacked right away.

Trilly is similar but a wreck to read - gives me a headache.

The reason I bring that up is 'why haven't we heard any of this from other site owners?' Rabby has hinted that he hears things that aren't collaborated by the university but couldn't he just obfuscate his sources enough to be able to drop hints? Do you think they don't want the hassle of being dragged through social media if they are wrong? Being asked to not communicate info (they do rely on being able to get access)?

I know it's super early but none of the sites I pay for are sourcing anything. Like anything. Haven't seen  'a board member has told us that the search is wide open but we are focusing on this criteria....' - just a general outline of what they expect in a candidate? Just possible lists based on fandom more then anything imho. 

I remember being shocked by Sampson and kinda surprised by Crean but I remember some real leaks on Miller - 2 schools of thought  were the loudest Donovan and Miller near the beginning of the search. As social media and information avenues expand it would seem very difficult to keep this stuff secret imho. Is that selective memory?

I've got to give several long time insiders their due...they're either right about Brad, or intent on going down with the ship this time. Hope it's the former!

He’ll be announced as our coach the same day Haralson commits to IU.  Any day now.

High level detective work, well done. Is that guy supposed to be one of their insiders? I perused a Baylor board and saw nothing but a ton of complaints about roster construction and confusion about how they could be so shitty with their amount of talent lol. Looked eerily similar to things we’ve said in these parts.

The real question is why would anyone pay for some VIP message board? They can't give away any real info, they have to be all cryptic. And regardless of what happens, they just happen to always be right. Amazing track record!

If I knew for sure it was either Brad or Drew I’d sleep peacefully and stop obsessively checking this board.

I believe he is comparable to Rabby, since he owns that site
