Coaching Carousal candidates poll

[DefenseBB]

While replying with humor to our dedicated Duke "homer" Triad, I was reminded that Joanne P McCallie is still available as a coaching option. I was also thinking of other P5 Coaches who were successful at some point in their careers and are available should a program create an opening. Holly Warlick is available though to be honest, she is solely associated with Tennessee so I am not sure how viable she is at other programs-though within the state of Tennessee I do think any or all of those programs would consider her. Karen Aston landed at UTSA this past March. Jonathan Tsipsis of Wisconsin is available. While Nikki Fargas "took a WNBA gig" with Vegas, I am sure she would welcome the salary and opportunity for another P5 role. Health issues forced Matthew Mitchell off of the Kentucky sidelines but I have to think if healthy, he would welcome the opportunity to come back. Joanne Boyle of UCLA Cal and UVa also took a leave of absence and if her family situation is settled, could also welcome another opportunity. So with those as an initial list, let's take a poll.

A repentant Quentin Hillsman lol

 

[Mdoggie]

Tyler Summitt. But ONLY if it’s a men’s team!!

 

[mudcat]

Gail Goestenkors?

 

[triaddukefan]

I voted Boyle. Her overall record wasn't bad... Took 3 different schools to the NCAA's. Unlike some of the others.. she wasn't fired from her last job.

If Boyle has gotten the kid issues resolved, she could go back to UVA when Thompson flames out there, which should be soon.

 

[Bigboote]

I think Mitchell will get healthy and give it another go.

I absolutely agree that if Boyle wants to, she'll find another job.

 

[Vowelguy]

On a 2nd thought, factor in all she’s been through I could see her not wanting as grueling a job as HC which would take her away from her kid.
And she says she’s not interested in coaching again.

Coach wins biggest battle to bring her daughter home

Joanne Boyle retired from coaching to focus on adopting her Senegalese daughter. After seven years of red tape, the adoption is official.

Nikki McCray Penson Middle Tennessee State in a year or two would be my guess

 

[Vowelguy]

I voted for Tsipsis. He was much less successful than the others so he doesn’t have the same kind of money in the bank. Not that he’s poor, but I dunno if they could leave comfortably 30+ years if he never worked again.

And he’s not even 50.

Boyle coached at Cal before moving to UVA, not UCLA.

Is she officially done at MSU or is this just a "medical leave"? I wasn't quite sure how to interpret that press release.
For @Mdoggie I gave a "like" as I LAO did think of putting Tyler down but only as a joke...
For @mudcat I know she's been assistant coaching, last at Central Michigan, trying to rebuild her brand and if I were an AD, say at Virginia, maybe I give her a strong look once I woke up and realized Tina Thompson is not really evolving the program.

Thanks to all for the comments, some good stuff put in the chats.
