Bill Murray’s Son, Luke, Is a College Basketball Coaching Candidate North Carolina State

[UCTitleTown]

I hate for UConn to lose either of these coaches, but these jobs, IMO FWIW, are better jobs for Kimani and Luke to take seeing how they have never been head coaches running a college basketball program.

I want Kimani to take over as headcoach when Dan hits 60 and retires, but I don't think he'll stick around that long.

Being the top assistant on a great program may be a better gig than third string QB in the NFL (where you make a couple mil per year and don't get CTE).

NC State would be an excellent first gig. I hope he stays, but if they offer, he almost has to take it.

And NC State fans and administration want to think of themselves as this elite program up there with Duke and UNC, but they are clearly a distant 3rd fiddle to those 2 schools.

If UNC keeps Hubert then there’s a chance to move into the 2 a lot. He’s awful!

VCU would be a great first HC job for either of them, that place is a springboard to P4 opportunities.

In time Hurley leaves, Luke takes over. He has plenty of experience in MCBB and most importantly the brains to do the job. Can he recruit? He’s young and relates well.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

That's not the job I think he should take. For his first head coaching gig, he should take a job at a mid major which has advantages in their conference and win for a couple of years. NC State is a middle of the pack job in the ACC.

I disagree.

I get the program has been inconsistent, but NC State would be an incredible first landing spot for any first-time head coach.

I mean quality of job these days boils down to what your NIL budget is

He needs to prove he’ll be successful on his own first.

Do you really think Bobby coming off a P4 coaching gig is going to join Danny’s staff? Would seem like an all time unusual move and a distraction more than a value add.

Luke going where his bosses brother just got punted seems equally odd.

They coached together at Wagner, so of course it could happen again. Bobby would be a great add to the staff.

Wagner 10 years ago is not UConn and where either of their career is today.

Separately, why can’t Bobby make a mark coaching?

ehhhhh....
state plays third fiddle to duke and UNC....and their fans believe they should be a lot better than they can reasonably expect to be....as their past 5 coaches have shown.

No big name is going to go out of their way to be the one to bring state back to glory, and they are certainly not bringing in money like the other schools in the area.

It's a tough place to be in.
