Bump. Memphis opened today

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Thad Matta(sp) withdrew from georgia after being offered job per espn.

It’ll be interesting to see how these openings affect RU and SHU. I doubt Pike or Willard leave, but this could create an opening at a “smaller” school like Vermont or St Bonaventures that entice Knight, Holloway, or even Hobbs

My bet is that Pike isnt going anywhere and my hope is the staff sees the future value of being part of the success and making a move then.

That’s one reason for starting This. I’ll do my best to keep up with it but if people update in the thread I’ll update the OP

 

[sport2231]

Bump for The Crean hire

 

[sport2231]

I added Lousivile because I believe there was no permanent coach named.

Also Hurley is not official it sounds like

Is Hardaway official to Memphis? I’ve been working all day

 

[MadRU]

Hardaway to Memphis per ESPN

 

[sport2231]

Bump for the Charlotte update (who knew?)

 

[higgins3]

I am sure Hobbs and Jay Young get looks again from other schools.

I know Young was pushing for HC position.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Not sure if anyone has been locked in on the Missouri State job but former Bannon assistant and friend-of-Woj (but no friend of Bannon, evidently), Rob Lanier surfaces after all these years...

Saw him (Young) linked to Loyola Maryland

 

[higgins3]

Saw him (Young) linked to Loyola Maryland

Interesting. The RU coaching staff right now is pretty deep. I could see Young departing if given the opportunity.

He's been with Barnes ever since he left Florida

 

[bac2therac]

seems like a year with not alot of openings

 

[sport2231]

There are a lot more openings then I realized. Added them all. Some have opened and closed so not of much interest. Most of these openings shouldn’t effect us either but until there filled I’ll leave them there

 

[RURM85]

Ah now it could get interesting. Willard in mix for the Pittsburgh opening

[ColonelRutgers]

David Padgett officially not returning to Louisville

 

[RU_Planning]

David Padgett officially not returning to Louisville

When do they announce Gregg Marshall as their new coach?

 

[RU1-Newtown_ Pa]

David Padgett was in a no win situation at the Ville.

Still had a 20+ win season and an NIT bid.

Maybe he should thank his former coach living the life on South Beach and always blaming others, never himself.

 

[Sideline20]

When do they announce Chris Mack as their new coach?

FIFY

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Carson Cunningham named coach at Incarnate Word

Dana Ford hired at Missouri State.

To everyone wondering about these openings, you're welcome.

Per Jeff Goodman's twitter (ESPN)


Also, looks like Evansville has an opening.

Looks like it for the two hires but Ill wait till official. We have seen things fall apart before

 

[BigEastPhil]

Patrick Beilein will get a mid major job. Gotta think he has the same virtues and smarts as his Dad and apparently is doing well at a D2 School.

Mack is apparently top choice for Louisville and Sean Miller denied rumors that he spoke to the Pitt AD about its vacancy.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Phil,if Calhoun and Hurley sayno to UConn, do you want the job? lol You probably have seen more high school basketball than Ollie.And Eddie Jordan too!

 

[TDIrish27]

If Mack takes he Ville job and I would be stunned if he didn't Hurley to Xavier makes sense.

 

[sport2231]

Kermit Davis to Middle Tennessee

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

If Mack takes he Ville job and I would be stunned if he didn't Hurley to Xavier makes sense.

Xavier may hire within or promote up vs chasing their tails with Hurley once Mack

 

[Russ Wood]

David Padgett was in a no win situation at the Ville.

COY imo.

He shouldn't take too much of a step down imo.

He'd be a great hire at FAU.

 

[TDIrish27]

Chasing their tails ?

Splain that please

You don't really think he would turn it down do you ?

 

[Potbelly407]

COY imo.

He shouldn't take too much of a step down imo.

He'd be a great hire at FAU.

Not too much of a step down? Louisville to FAU??

 

[sport2231]

Updated with a bunch

 

[Russ Wood]

Not too much of a step down? Louisville to FAU??

I wasn't suggesting that he should go after the FAU job, but I can see how people would think that's what I meant. I should have been more clear. I was just pointing out that he would be great there. Plus I already knew that the FAU job was going to Dusty May.

Based on how he performed this season he be great in a lot of places.

Pitt should call him.

 

[BigEastPhil]

I'm sure the Loyola of Chicago Coach is going to have some offers coming his way.

 

[RUinFla]

FAU is not an awful job. Had Matt Doherty for a year--not much success before or since. Florida is football country, and FAU made a splash under Lane Kiffin. Basketball a poor third to football and baseball down here.

Updated with a few smaller highers

Capel to PITT

 

[dvb91]

http://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2018/03/27/report-jeff-capel-next-head-coach-at-pitt/

Capel to PITT

Very interesting hire. Was Capel in line to eventually replace Coach K? Or were others ahead?

 

[RUBigFrank]

If you read the article - Capel may take our Knight.
