OT: UCLA narrowing in on Dixon and Cronin

[Robertelamin]

UCLA is conducting the dumbest coaching search it could possibly conduct

That’s rough.

 

[NowInStorrs]

I happen to know an ex-coach from LA who has a national championship, which is more than UCLA can say for itself over the last 20 years.

 

[Fishy]

The only way this gets funnier is if they hire Cronin.

So relieved each day I read about all these coaching carousel/searches, that we got rid of KO when we did. Dan Hurley would have been an afterthought had we not pulled the trigger when we did, and we would’ve now been one more year deeper into status quo irrelevancy, while trying to compete for a quality coach.

I mostly agree, though I don't see Hurley in the Deep South or fitting in LA culture. If we get back to where we want to be, I think there are only a few programs that might be able to poach him.

I know it’s schadenfreud but I love watching coaching search disasters.

I am sure he sees us as worthy of a destination job. Took us over Pitt.

UCLA's next coach should be a layup..... Luke Walton.

I’m baffled they didnt hire musselman.

wtf just hire someone already and stop giving me hope that micky will be gone. ucla has interviewed like 32 ppl at this point.

I heard the chances of UCLA hiring Mick are still at....

32%

Maybe UTenn will lower his buyout too...

 

[Robertelamin]

UCLA loves coaches that won’t win them a championship I guess.

UCLA wouldn't even look at Dan Hurley then or now
Neither would an ACC school
He needs positive experience at the higher D1 level - which he is just starting at UConn
A few good years and he will be looked at

When Hurley is successful here, UConn will extend him and make his buyout even larger than it is now.

Guess you forgot he picked UConn over an ACC school.

This makes 0 sense and is totally inaccurate.

Times are tough in Westwood, that $5 million buyout might be tough to scrabble together. Barnes is 64 too, maybe they can ask for a senior discount.

Typical for him.

Question: where did the NC State coach work before NC State? What did his success look like?

Prove to me Mike Young has a better resume than Dan Hurley.

I'll wait...

Latest I've heard is that Rick Barnes and Lon Kruger have been interviewed for the UCLA job, with Barnes considered the frontrunner. He's 64, two years younger than Kruger, and is coming off a national-coach-of-the-year season at Tennessee.

That's just fantastic timing.

 

[NJHoops]

Crazy to discount A10 coaching experience or act like it’s some low major conference.

 

[kobe]

maybe we can get some mick to tennessee rumors going if barnes really does go to ucla. think thats actually a pretty good job and he could do okay there.

I can't wait until Bill Walton weighs in on the Ucla coaching search. That will be some wild, wild stuff.
