Matt Roth just won a state championship as a head coach. Why is he not in this premature conversation as a possible Woodson replacement?

Don't let someone else swoop up Dusty like we let Stevens go! My heart wouldn't be able to take it.

FAU is no Cinderella.  They got a bad seed and they belong here.  2 more!

Mike Woodson is our coach and deserves the benefit of the doubt to build this roster for next season and into the future. I believe in him. However, if this program takes a major step back next year (misses the tournament) and Woodson's energy just isn't into it, (recruiting is flat) IU HAS to look into May. Don't let another university get him.  Sounds like he's really happy at FAU despite terrible facilities. He won't leave unless the right job comes along.

Only thing I don't like is this FAU team seems to turn it over a bit much. 22 today. 

I need to actually look at the stats the last few years to see if it's indeed a trend.  

Regardless, can't argue with the winning.

I just checked his 5 seasons and the TOs have been trending down since he took over as HC, around 14 his first year and around 11 per game this year.

They play pretty fast. More possessions = a few more turnovers. They protect the ball pretty well all things considered.

I saw them in person in January against Charlotte, a solid team and the slowest paced team in the country. FAU had a total of 3 turnovers in that one.

A few years back, word got out that South Carolina was looking to hire Kirby Smart as football coach. Smart, a Georgia alumnus, was an Alabama assistant at time and was seen as real up-and-comer. When Georgia heard of South Carolina's plans, they actually fired Mark Richt so they could hire Smart and not let him get away. 

In just a few days, I can see Dolson knocking on Woody's door: "Hey Mike, we need to have a little chat ..." 

LOL!

Coaching in the B1G is a whole other animal. I like May's team and they are fun to watch. Those guys never quit. Hard to say what would happen in the meat grinder that is our conference. I think he deserves a look but am not ready to anoint him just yet.

You might actually be thinking of when Texas Tech first hired Beard. He had taken the UNLV job for a couple weeks when Tubby Smith suddenly left Tech for Memphis. Since Beard was a former TTU assistant, they went after him -- even though he had just been hired in Vegas. 

As I recall, the Texas Tech AD called UNLV and said they were going to talk to Beard. The Vegas AD said no, you can't talk to him. 

The Texas Tech AD said, "I wasn't really calling to ask permission. I was giving you a courtesy call to tell you that we ARE going to talk to him." 

Not long after, Beard resigned from UNLV and took the job in Lubbock.

iirc, Shaka Smart magically decided he wanted to coach Marquette a few days before Beard left Tech to go to Texas. Would be nice if Woodson suddenly decided he wanted to ride off into the sunset right about now.
