I was told all of our assistants have been hired. Won't be announced today or probably tomorrow because they are doing other things right now. 

KT Turner just got hired at Oklahoma. Has to be Lewis and Fife.

Yes they have to resign before coming on board but hopefully in between resigning and taking our job they will be talking to kids in the portal

Archie brought in a bunch of guys from Dayton, thinking that what worked there would transfer to the P5 level.

The only Assistant that he brought from Dayton was Ostrom which is his right hand man(he also brought Bill Comar, but he was not an assistant coach).

Otherwise he had 4 guys who largely seemed to be considered excellent hires(especially Schilling and Hunter) none of whom had coached with him at Dayton:

-Bruiser Flint

-Ed Schilling

-Mike Roberts

-Kenya Hunter

I understand that the cool thing to do is to hate on Archie these days, but at least use facts when you do(there are plenty to use).

I'll bite....any names you can pass along? And what "other things" could they be doing? Just curious.

I asked the same questions and was told they would send me the names later. In between resigning and being announced here may be talking to some people in the portal if that is allowed?

I saw that the Central Michigan head coaching gig opened up recently, any chance Dane would take a swing at that position?

 a big catering order for Wednesday and that he saw Sean May on the shortlist.

OK, that big catering order takes care of Sean's lunch, but what about everyone else?

[T White]

It seems most of the possible assistants mentioned are guys with backcourt experience. Who is going to be coaching the big guys on post moves, post defense and such?

Hunter for sure....he was significant with the development of NBA big men Roy Hibbert, Greg Monroe, and Otto Porter...probably others I can’t think of. 

[ThePaulieWalnuts]

Source just told me the other two assistants will be Jamarcus Ellis & DeAndre Thomas

Bill Comar came to an athletic dept role — same title Matta has now I believe. There may have been some other staffers GAs who had relationships prior, too. Comar and Ostrom are the ones I know.
