OT: St. John's coaching search

[UconnU]

Let’s hope they don’t start showing interest in Kimani Young. It’s becoming a real possibility.

 

[UconnU]

They shouldn’t have fired Steve Lavin.

 

[NowInStorrs]

How many people have said they're not interested now? Lol.

 

[navery12]

Only way this can get better is if Cluess turns it down after they've tried for every other candidate before him

 

[TRest]

What was that one?

 

[tcf15]

What was that one?

Probably the one about Mike Boynton not being interested. Braziller corrected himself and then deleted the tweet.

 

[intlzncster]

Does Cluess even take it now if they offer? It's gotta be kind of embarrassing at this point.

That said, $2m per does a lot to assuage any shame.

They shouldn’t have fired Steve Lavin.

Lavin actually had them at a realistic place. Make the tournament about half the time, and hope for the occasional run.

Strangely enough, Braziller’s latter double negative tweet update appears to suggest he reconfirmed Boynton’s lack of interest in the red stain.

Honestly, they might not even be able to afford (or willing to pay for) his buyout, which is around $2M to $2.5M.

I listened to the interview while I was driving home from work and I was locked in for every second of it. I found it interesting, and that guy Mike Repole is intense. You can tell he cares about the school.

He's a jackass.

Friends, I have seen some stuff. I think we all have.

But St. John's being turned down by an America East coach. Via his AD. On Twitter.



My god.

I'm already sad that they'll eventually hire a coach. Why must this show end? It's so good.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

He's a jackass.

qualified to head the red stain

 

[tcf15]

Love this

 

[freescooter]

Way better than Cincinatti. who wouldn’t want to coach in the Big East? From the sound of it, pretty much everybody...I mean when the coach at UNBC turns you down what can you say? I heard they might call the coach at St Joseph’s... the high school in Trumbull, Not the college in West Hartford.

[Slasher]

Damnit tcf beat me.

 

[Huskyforlife]

At this point Im seriously not sure Hurley would've taken it. Can't wait for the Mark Jackson dumpster fire.

 

[awfuldan]

Oh damn James Jones leaving Yale would be a bummer. St John's could do worse than him.

 

[freescooter]

At this point Im seriously not sure Hurley would've taken it. Can't wait for the Mark Jackson dumpster fire.

The Hurley thing is just so much noise. And whether he would have even been a big enough name is questionable. He had gotten URI to an NIT at that point. That’s it. That after the fact someone says they wanted him and he would have taken the job is pretty lame.

 

[UChusky916]

Hah!

 

[StunningSteve]

Their fans shouldn't have crapped on Porter Moser.

He was better than they're gonna get.

 

[NJHoops]

At this point Im seriously not sure Hurley would've taken it. Can't wait for the Mark Jackson dumpster fire.

Dan wouldn’t have taken it at that point because he wasn’t done with what he wanted to do at URI. There were people in decision-making positions at St. John’s that wanted him.

 

[UConnStats]

Oh damn James Jones leaving Yale would be a bummer. St John's could do worse than him.

I think Mike Anderson would be a good choice too. Arkansas isn’t an easy school to coach basketball at IMO, but he consistently produced solid teams even if they weren’t spectacular. Good offensive minded coach.

 

[UConn Esq]

Spurned by a guy coaching a MAAC school whose alma mater is St. Johns. Woof.
