Big step up in prestige, west coast weather (and politics)? Probably not, but it does not seem impossible!

Maybe she wants to coach in the NBA. The Charlotte Hornets have an opening and they are interviewing Lindsay Harding so why not Dawn Staley.
 
Even if the job weren't filled I doubt she'd want to be handcuffed by the academic requirements that need to be met at Stanford.

Plus I doubt they'd invest more into the program than SC already is. SC is all in with giving her.what she needs to run an elite program.

I could see here taking a WNBA coaching job with the ultimate goal of coaching in the NBA.......can't do worse than a few of the current NBA coaches........
 
I can't see Staley coaching anywhere else. She's royalty there, they have a statue of her and she made almost $4 million after bonuses this year and has her team primed to dominate for the next several years.

I thought Kentucky would snatch her up after Cal jumped ship. Any women coaching a mens BB team in D1?

No but years ago Pat Summit was offered the men’s job at Tennessee. Needless to say she turned it down.

Exactly!
 
It took years for Staley to get SC to the top. She is now the most successful program in WCBB. Every top recruit and every transfer student looks to SC first. Dawn Staley makes millions from WBB and more millions from commercials, etc.
We have seen her become more comfortable with herself and her persona. She is very contented. IMHO she never thinks of Pro ball--male of female with all the headaches and travel. For what? Money? Titles? The same with going to another University. For what? Starting all over? More titles than SC?
She will be at SC until she stops enjoying it. Just like Geno!!

Hasn’t Stanford already said they are promoting one of the asst coaches?

Correct. Stanford elevated the assistant coach who has been there for years to head coach. Besides, Dawn has made an amazing transformation of the womens' basketball program at South Carolina and has more goals there (like another NC) to accomplish.
 
She has the best program in the country and it is humming along so absolutely no. The Stanford job is going internal and the travel is going to be incredible playing in the ACC. I really think in the next year of so the Big Ten will expand more on the west coast and will put the old PAC12 back together but until then that is an awful job.
