Would Dawn Staley take the Stanford Job?

[Duncan Idaho]

...and leads the nation in attendance 12k+ , Stanford 2.5k as of 2022 season.

 

[Hist-teacher]

Nope

 

[David54]

She’s built a great program. She has a great team. They sell out every home game She’s well compensated. No , she’s going nowhere.

 

[Longtime fan]

Why would she? What would she gain? (Plus, as @Vowelguy says, the job is filled.)

Stanford has announced that one of Tara's coaches is taking the job. Stanford is in a total mess, given the collapse of the Pac 10 conference. The coast to coast travel demands will be draining. The conference they are moving to has all different rivalries and history. Brick went to the draft because she didn't want the travel ahead for Stanford. And they may lose other key players a well. There is nothing a Stanford for Dawn Staley. She has the national champion, and a pipeline of talent unmatched by anyone. She will likely win 5 national championships in a row.

Great idea...
Then Geno could go to South Carolina

 

[baggerbob]

Dawn makes big bucks. Even if she were willing, I doubt Stanford would be willing to outbid South Carolina for her services.

Tara. Made Stanford basketball, with their standards and no HOF coach, expect Stanford to fade like Tennessee has.

 

[Dynastic]

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.

Dawn makes $3Mil… why go to the NBA or WNBA to make $300,000? I mean that isn’t stepping down the ladder, that’s sliding down the pole.

 

[HiDribble]

The real question is, would Stanford take Dawn?

In a heartbeat. She would never go though and leave what she has in SC.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

Why is this on the UConn board? Shouldn't it be on the General Board.

Why is this on any board? There is no open position at Stanford.

Amazing. Two pages of comments on a subject that doesn't exist.

16,000+, this season.

 

[Darwin]

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

Not a chance. Would Geno?

If she passed the entrance exam lol.

All Stanford sports will suffer. I seem to remember that they always had a very high score in the Learfield Directors Cup. They just won their 26th cup.

Why would she move to California and end up paying almost half of her salary in taxes, State and Federal vs what she pays in South Carolina and Federal?

Because California > SC? You get what you pay for.

Have you ever lived in a major California metropolis? Have you even visited one RECENTLY. Lotsa Good but lotsa bad.

I've been to both, I'll take South Carolina over California any day. Now if you had asked that question 10 to 15 years ago California would most likely win.

I haven't lived there, but I've certainly visited. My nephew lives in the LA area.

I like the Chinese food in the valley;
Alhambra and Monterey Park...
Best Chinese food in the country

 

[Urshurak]

What school is going to pay more than the nearly 4 mill she made last year PLUS buy out that contract from sCar?

7 million per year for about 4 years during the buyout? Suuuuuuuuuuure.
