OT: St. John's coaching search

Better job:

Tulsa or St John’s?

Right now it’s probably Tulsa.

 

[UconnU]

Goes without saying that a lot of these coaches purposefully put their names out there angling for a new contract with no intention of leaving the school they’re at. St John’s isn’t a bad job, it’s just a bad job at the moment. Have to think this helps us in the short term as we compete for the same recruits.

That first snippet from Zags makes it seem like this goaround not the last time. Clickbait

[UconnU]

He’s talking about if he were still at URI, right?

Yes

Repole saying that the school president is out by the end of the week and he’s paying the buyout? lol. This interview is hilarious.

Well that was fast:

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.

Jon Scheyer is the latest name being thrown around. Imagine throwing a young coach with no experience into this dumpster fire? lol.

With such an open-minded, massively well educated fan base of the stain, what could possibly go wrong with a guy with zero head coaching experience and limited local contacts adding some diversity?

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Frank Haith ... Mizzou, scUM, Tulsa ...

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again ...

Here's the article that all those quotes are in.

Offer the job to Odom and be done with it. He is young, and with enough upside that the fan base might actually end up a bit excited.

No one giving Fat Boy credit in their tweets for having the guy on his show to give him a platform to rant. LOL.

That was the first time I ever heard him actually let a guest speak.

Couldn't kiss the guy's a## enough, right? For me, Mike jumped the shark when Dog left but I put up with all of his BS and still tune in simply because of his love of JC and what he built at UConn. You never know when Rip Van Cessa will throw it into a conversation.

Just yesterday he said the best two program builders he's ever seen were Jim Calhoun at UConn and Bill Snyder at K State in Football.

 

[TRest]

Not a national story, so not a national laughingstock.

 

[tcf15]

lolololol

 

[UofCT]

lolololol

I’m sure we all caught the piece on ESPN before the Calhoun doc. That guy ain’t leaving the DMV
