Coaching change coming @ UMass

[wheelerdog]

Happy for Kimani if it's true, but would be bittersweet if he leaves before our season ends

He won't leave until we're done. This isn't college football.

Wasn’t Castle close with him? Hoping Hurley won’t have to re-recruit him now…

Good for him.

Kenya was lead recruiter for Hawkins. I wouldn’t worry about Castle leaving until he actually does

Hurley seems to be supportive of him moving on if he wants.

But after Zags statement might just be premature.

Hoping Kimani stays through the BET and NCAA's. UMass is a great first step for him. He could do a lot worse than the A-10 for his first head coaching gig. If he does well, he could turn that into a legit P5 offer in 3-5 years.

This guy is more plugged in to umass than Blauds.

Zag changing tune…

Danny loves the guys that coach for him. He's not letting Kimani go to UMass. They're a hot mess. Who fake fires their coach and then says they're going to stay on the sidelines? Then the AD makes all those statements about how serious they are to invest - who does that? Someone who's desperate. They don't have any actual candidates that want anything to do with them. So they're trying to get people from outside the region/their connections. Remember Pat Kelsey accepted and ran away.

URI is a way better job. Arena, fans, everything. Basketball is number one there. UMass still thinks they can win in football. They need to invest better (so does UMass), but Danny had a good experience there. Kimani would be a great get for them. Question is if they want to take another Dan Hurley AHC after the Cox hire has gone so poorly.

hes going to UMass, no doubt about it theres a lot of rumblings about it
I think he deserves better than UMass but its up to him
At least he beat Nova

Still confident about that call @Palatine ?

I subscribe to the theory that Kimani’s agent leaked this to Blauds because he was dumb enough to run it. It’s basically just a ploy to get his name under consideration for other jobs by making him seem more desirable. Smart move

Or he actually is close but doesn’t want to announce until the seasons over.
