Thad has some pretty major health issues.pipe dream: Pitino -- think he's still too toxic and is friends with Mick so idk how he'd feel about replacing him.
take a swing: Thad Matta -- apparently wants to get back into coaching and has ohio roots but turned down jobs that probably offered more $$. idk how id feel about hiring the former Xavier AND Ohio State coach lmao.
safe pick: John Brannen. nuff said.
wildcard: Nick Van Exel
any questions?

think Brannen is gonna be a star if he isn't already. Recruited really well for his level, and took a program to the NCAA's 2 of their first 3 years of eligibility. would 100% be in favor of that hire.If you're forced to pick one, who's the next coach?
Who's your top choice?
How did Cronin fail upwardly?
The man's teams constantly choked in the NCAA and that gets him the UCLA job? Wow. (I say that as one of the few posters who didn't hate him, and even defended him on this board.)
How do you think Mick will do at UCLA? Normally when you think of LA you think of glamour, glitz, and showtime and run and gun basketball. That's definitely not Mick.think Brannen is gonna be a star if he isn't already.

Because 800 other coaches turned them down.Why would UCLA choose him?
im curious to see how he can do with level of talent ucla recruits by itself and how much of a change he'll put into the philosophy. if lets the recruiting take care of itself and doesnt micro manage it, he can do okay.How do you think Mick will do at UCLA?

I have defended him on this board, but he is a poor man's Jamie Dixon/Ben Howland for UCLA. It seems like a desperation hire. Why would UCLA choose him?
Fred Hoiberg?When are schools going to figure out that hiring wealthy former players with no college experience is a terrible idea?
All I know is that if they don’t hire an angry leprechaun I’m gonna be disappointed.

Hollywood Cronin. Sounds like a midget wrestler.
our italian restaurant selection isnt up to par for pitino.I admit, it would be alot of fun heckling Pitino in-conference again. I guess it would depend on how strong Cincinnati's brothel game is.
Baywatch Bobby Brannen could do wonders in the AAC.think Brannen is gonna be a star if he isn't already. Recruited really well for his level, and took a program to the NCAA's 2 of their first 3 years of eligibility. would 100% be in favor of that hire.
