Bluelight Special List

[TennaciousD957]

Welp. Hart says "Rising Star". I hope KMart is offering a good special on coaches. By rising star I hope he means:

1. Chris Mack
2. Tim Miles
3. Archie Miller
4. Richard Pitino
5. Keith Dambrot

Not:

Michael White
Donnie Tyndall
John Doe
Joe Smith

 

[GBOVOLS]

I have only one guy I really want Richard Pitino. I also like Greg Marshall

 

[TennaciousD957]

Richard Pitino could be on the first list as well.

 

[Stoked]

Michael White wouldn't be bad

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

If Pitino came here and had any success at all he would bolt for UL when his dad retires. He is in his 60s you know...

 

[JackHVFL]

Pitino Jr. is a future star I think, but I don't think he would leave Minnesota for Tennessee..

 

[VolArmy74]

Lots of good coaches out there. Plenty with better resume's than our last hire.

 

[UTvolinBGKY]

Please, please no Archie Miller.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

2 years of pitino is far better than 10 with counzo

 

[Dave1967]

Marshall would never leave WSU for UT. He's got a sweet situation in Wichita,Kansas.

 

[Dave1967]

Stew Morrill of Utah State would be somebody to at least talk to. He's got a 581-271 record and coaching in the SEC would be a step up for him.

 

[UNAVol89]

I'd take Pitino in a heartbeat

 

[Volfreak1964]

Pitino!

 

[Dave1967]

My Bluelight Special top 5(not necessarily in this order):

1)Ron Hunter(GSU)
2)Marvin Menzies(New Mexico State)
3)Dave Rice(UNLV)
4)Donnie Tyndall(USM)
5)Brad Brownell(Clemson)

 

[bleedingTNorange]

If you're gonna go cheap at least hire White over Tyndall, good gosh.

 

[Tux]

If you are not going to go after a major coach and want some up and comers, well try these:

I would not mind looking at some assistant coaches from some top teams.

Steve Forbes - Wichita State - coached at UT under Bruce pearl. Ace recruiter and coach.

Kurtis Townsend - Kansas - ace recruiter.

Norm Roberts - Kansas

Dwanye Stephens - Michigan State

Forbes and Townsend are very good. You can't beat top notch recruiters.

 

[TennaciousD957]

Just remembered another name. I will edit the first post, but a true Bluelight Special would be Keith Dambrot from Akron.

231-107 at Akron
337-174 overall

Not quite the resume Bruce had, but similar story in some ways. Check out his wiki.

Townsend

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Marshall would never leave WSU for UT. He's got a sweet situation in Wichita,Kansas.

I'll have a sit down with him and tell him why Knoxville is the move he needs to make.

 

[UTRavens]

What has Richard Pitino proven?

 

[armchair]

I doubt Marshall is interested in us, but we should try. Pitino is worth chasing, though if his dad retires in two years we'd be screwed.

 

[govols120]

Pitino's not leaving Minnesota after one year. Also, not sure I get the hype for him. Did a great job at FIU in his one year there, but Minnesota went 5-8 over final 13 pre-NIT games to fall out of NCAAT.

 

[ranradVOL]

What has Richard Pitino proven?

Lol. People comain about CCM's NIT his first year, yet want Pitino.

 

[99probsbutchaint1]

How about Bill Laimbeer? Seriously.
