2025 WCBB Coaches Hot Seat edition (merged)

Well consider me surprised. Two coaches who clearly weren't working out were let go after 3 seasons. Looks like overall the tolerance for not winning is declining in wcbb.

If they had 5-year contracts, and they have completed 3 seasons, you kind of either have to extend them or cut the cord. No use having them coaching a fourth season if the future outlook is not good.
 
So after talking with a couple of sources and others, I think there's going to be at least 14 P-5 coaching jobs opening up. A couple of them pretty shocking to be honest.
 
Open: Auburn, Mizzou, Houston, BYU, ASU

P4 changes that could still happen? (Years at school)
  • ACC: SMU (4)
  • SEC:
  • BiG: NWern (17), Wisconsin (4), Rutgers (3)
  • B12: TxT (5), UCF (2)
Prob safe: UVa (3), Ark (8), Ariz (9)

Nothing is really shocking in the coaching profession anymore. You go in knowing that at any moment, you could be out of a job. Sad but it is the nature of the coaching profession, unless you are a middle school coach. Then you kind of get the benefit of the doubt. As you go up the coaching levels, the pressure gets worse.

I don't know why you keep listing Arkansas. My guy ain't going anywhere. Just saying.
 
I predict that one conference will lose more coaches than another.

Not sure I'd consider Arkansas safe. Virginia is perhaps a warm not hot seat.

What about TAMU and Georgia? Both seem clearly headed in the wrong direction.

A&M could make a change. I think Georgia will get one more, but I also thought that about Elzy and Harper last year.
 
Also wondering about Penn State. Seemed very dysfunctional and somehow managed to finish dead last in a conference with Northwestern, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin

TaMu : 50/50

Georgia: She'll get 1 more yr.

UVA: Mox was "50/50" as well but apparently that donation from Serena Williams husband bought her another year. That and the fact that she has recruited VERY well and they would likely lose all there players.

All of this was common knowledge.

Word on the street is Wilson at SMU is getting another because they don’t want to buy out her contract.

I look for Joe McKweon to retire before he gets let go. May get a push from administration but he is well liked at Northwestern.

Is Barry Alvarez still AD? He tends to hold his coaches accountable and wants to see significant progress.

Alvarez left in 2021.

I'm curious to see what Wisconsin does going forward. I feel like I make this post every 6 months, but here goes my Wisconsin rant/analysis:

They are in the middle of a recruiting hot bed, being located within a 4 hour drive from Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee and Des Moines but haven't been able to land any top players. In state they've missed out on Megan Gustafson, Arike Ogunbowale, KK Arnold, Allie Ziebell, Lexi Donarski, and McKenna Warnock in recent years.

Women's basketball has been the notable black hole of a sports program for the last 20-30 years while every other sport has flourished for extended periods of time. They've never reached a Sweet 16 and seem to cycle through a new coaching tree every few years. They've tried hiring from Pat's coaching tree (Albright), Muffet's (Tsipis), Tara's (Kelsey) and now Geno's (Moseley) with only Albright finding some sustained success, but her teams often faltered late in the season.

There's really no reason why Wisconsin shouldn't be a top 15 program each year though. Madison is a great college town and extremely supportive of women's sports. They sell out every volleyball match and have one of the strongest fan bases in the country. When women's basketball was decent in the late 90s/early 2000s, they were among attendance leaders in the nation with Tennessee, Connecticut, Iowa State and Texas Tech. In short, all of the pieces are there for Wisconsin to be a giant in the sport, but they've never been able to find any success. Hopefully they shell out for a good coach who can recruit and build a solid team.

The fact Moseley resigned is really suspicious. I have to wonder if there was some truth to the allegations of abuse, and resigning lets her safe a little face.

Maybe that's my cynicism showing, but any time a coach who hasn't been successful "resigns," I assume they were invited to resign. They had the choice to either resign or get fired.
