Dan Dakich's Coaching Candidates for UCLA

[tcf15]

 

[superjohn]

No Bobby Knight???

 

[UofCT]

Mine as well call Red Aurebach and Phil Jackson

 

[TRest]

They should think about somebody who might want the job.

 

[awfuldan]

Every option he included on this list is crazy but Steve Kerr?? lol

 

[gampelcrazies]

I'm going to get ridiculed for saying this but everybody on that list besides Kerr is gettable for UCLA

 

[Jluc]

Dakich sucks

 

[Blaneylover]

How do you not call Coach Musselman at Nevada? You can't call Pitino. You just can't. As for the others, I would assume that there is a possibility that they would listen. Steve Kerr may seem crazy but the college season is much less rigorous than the NBA season and he has had his medical issues. That would be the one reason why he would possibly consider it.

What about the rigors of recruiting??

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I feel like Cal would die for the opportunity to coach in LA. A bit different lifestyle than Lexington.

 

[Sky ball]

They might be able to steal JC from St Joe's? Maybe not? Lateral move?

 

[upstater]

Every time I hear this guy's name I think I'm hearing "jock itch." Anyone else?

 

[Old school]

Kevin Ollie is an LA guy

 

[intlzncster]

Dakich is such an idiot, He's probably serious here.

 

[JMick]

If they open up the check book, I bet Calipari would entertain a phone call. He doesn't stick around anywhere for a long time.

 

[uconngb]

Now that I'm divorced, girls I want to date:
1. Blake Lively
2. Scarlett Johannson
3. Halle Berry
4. Jessica Biel
5. Kate Upton
6. Megan Fox

Who's list is more realistic, mine or Dakich's???

 

[CL82]

Kevin Ollie is an LA guy

I wonder if he'd take an assistant gig? It's not like KO didn't have skills. He just wasn't ready to be a HC. UCLA would be a great chance to get more seasoning. Of course the sword of the 'show cause' penalty hanging over his head is likely an issue.

Yeah that seems reasonable to me. Seems like Calipari is stagnating a bit at UK, with Coach K taking over the mantle as the #1 one-and-done guy. Feel like Calipari would feast in LA.

True, but tough to leave Kentucky unless the NCAA or the FBI are knocking at the door.

There's a reason for that gampel. Outside of Tricky Rick, nobody is remotely gettable. Wooden is more likely than the rest.

I believe cal would listen, for ego purposes alone but I don't see it. UCLA, despite its location, is a step down from UK basketball wise. Fanbases aren't remotely comparable

 

[JMick]

Yeah but Kentucky fans are unbelievably spoiled and a lot of them are growing tired of Cal. He always picks the perfect time to leave. If he thinks he's done there, he'll leave. He's 59 so if he doesn't leave Kentucky soon, he's probably there for life.

 

[methodology]

Cal is realistic along with Donovan. The rest are outrageous. He might as well of put Popovich on the list

Cal revels in being on top. I could be wrong, but I just can't seeing him leave for any school. Maybe Duke I suppo3, but that fit tho

 

[UofCT]

If Nate Oaks takes UB to S16 or E8 won't everyone want him?

 

[HooperScooper]

Doesn't Calipari make like $7 or $8 million a year at UK? UCLA is relatively cheap when it comes to paying their coaches. There's no way Calipari is taking another job without a big pay raise.
