Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3938946, member: 6620"] DefenseBB: Good thought. That's sound reason for the strange timing. Heck, given how close Tina Langley came to the Duke job, I thought she'd be a natural for Vandy when it opened up. Maybe Lownsdale suggested these potential candidates because Vandy has to pay off White and might want to cut down on the (initial salary). Remember, when Steph won the job, the other finalists were Courtney Banghart (then Princeton, now UNC) and Niele Ivey (then Assc. Head Coach, now HC at ND). Well, in that vein, let me throw these names at you: - [B]Beth Morgan Cunnngham[/B], former Assc. Head Coach at ND, current Asst. Coach at Duke and one-time successful HC at VCU. Last year, she sat out most of the season (at Duke and like Vandy). - Of all the schools [B]GG's[/B] name has been suggested for, this one makes the most sense because it most mirrors the school she had the most success at -- Duke. [B]- Karl Smesko[/B], FGCU. Just think Vandy could get a fine coacrh and Kristin Bell, probably in one swipe. If he's ever gonna stop being the Jimmy Buffet of hoop coaches, this is the time. BTW, he is from Ohio so he can recruit here, there and everywhere. - And two coaches who are probably waiting for Lisa Bluder to retire (after Caitlin Clark is gone): --[B] Jan Jensen[/B], who is Iowa's head of recruting and post coach. I'd say she excels at both. --[B] Jennie Baranczyk[/B], the Iowa alum and Drake Coach. I'll be she could get an initial pipeline of midwest kids to Vandy to start things up. This will be interesting.
