Can we start one where we keep it to legitimate names (no Smarts, Pearls, Marshalls, etc.)?
Based on UTs last 4 hires, who were all mid-majors, here's who I see as legitimate names:
Will Wade (UTC HC) - won't move the national meter much, but some in the know think he could be the next Billy Donavan.
Bobby Hurley (Buffalo HC) - in line for a big-time HC job in next few years, but can he recruit in the south.
Ron Hunter (Ga St. HC) - he would be near the top of my list.
Steve Prohm (Murray St. HC) - also in line for a big-time HC job in next few years. This would be a solid hire.
Michael White (LA Tech HC) - he turned UT down once and I don't see them going back down that road.
Rick Byrd (Belmont HC) - it wouldn't be a good coaching search thread without throwing his name in. He would stabilize the program and run a clean program, but age and energy are a factor.
Rick Stansbury (former Miss St. HC/current Texas A&M asst.) - this would be intriguing. Had no NCAA issues despite what some think.
Please add to the list if I have left someone legitimate out.
Additional names:
Ben Jacobsen (Northern Iowa HC)
Chris Mack (Xavier HC)
Brad Underwood (SFA HC)
Andy Toole (Robert Morris HC)
Billy Donlon (Wright St. HC)
Richard Pitino (Minnesota HC)
Danny Hurley (Rhode Island HC)
Rick Barnes (former Texas HC)
Buzz Williams (VA Tech HC)
Chris Holtmann (Butler HC)
Kevin Keatts (UNC-Wilmington HC)
Bryce Drew (Valpo HC)
Tad Boyle (Colorado HC)
Steve Wojciechowski (Marquette HC)
Andy Kennedy (Ole Miss HC)
