OMG.  Dusty May possibly a candiate for a different gig.  Everyone please remain calm and do not panic.

I must be behind or really busy these days because Dusty May is the only name I know on that list.

Niko Medved is a really good coach.    Many think if Johnson fails at Minny he is the guy to replace him.  He is at   Colorado St right now

OK, I've heard good things about Colorado St. I'll check out the other names this afternoon.

I recommend Mike Woodson along with Armond Hill.

The other two are from James Madison and App St. Both seem to be having good seasons.

Irrelevant aside, but it’s the world I live in: Byington is the name you hear all around the St Louis program, with Travis Ford being deader than a door nail and all. That would make for some really unhappy folks. SLU’s a good job, it ain’t WVU.

Uh, I am sure I speak for everyone and suggest you stop watching TV and go listen outside Dolson’s office.

Don’t want big name coach anything.
 Rather, enjoy the ride upward with Dusty May .  

Him and Schertz coach about the same type game.  

other considerations would be Stevens and Alford.

Woodson and staff are done.  Unqualified, lazy, really don’t care that much, no enthusiasm, no solutions, and are in the gig for as long as it lasts until moving on.

Really? This seems like a very lazy take to be honest.

We want to fire a coach who got worse in his third season to hire a coach that got worse in his third season.

Did May run over your dog or something?

Go ahead and admit you fell in love with a one hit wonder.

Currently 20-6 with wins over schools from the Big East, ACC, SEC and PAC-12, so at minimum a 2 hit wonder.

Would you hire this guy? Clearly got much worse in his 6th season. If you know, you know.

With everybody back. If he has tournament success this season we can talk.

Are we really back to the Bob Knight comparisons? In what world is Archie Miller a bad comparison to Dusty May but Bob Knight comparisons make sense?

In the limited sense of what type of program they took over and were at the helm of during those records.  
 

There’s plenty to criticize May for or that type of hire, but his success in building FAU isn’t really one of them.

How did he get worse from years 2 to 3. 17-15 to 13-10. Two games over .500 is worse than 3 games over .500. Also played 9 less games in year 3 so you can't look at win totals.

ummm.....FAU's non-conference SOS last year was 251 and this year it is 40th.  And I don't think anyone would argue against the fact that they overachieved last year.  It's still not a team with a level of talent that should be 20-6.
