Kind of a ho-hum hire.

Every day that goes by is another day closer to Maryland removing the interim tag from Danny Manning…

Early at George Washington, but some names to keep an eye on are Miami associate head coach Chris Caputo and Yale head coach James Jones. Obviously really early here though.

GW should definitely hire Manning

Borzello saying there are rumblings that Tony Bennett is a possibility at LSU. Can’t fathom that

I would have a hard time seeing that. Talk about trying to separate yourself from one of the true scumbags in college sports and trying to replace him with one of the great people. I don’t see Bennett taking that step.

Louisiana Tech’s Eric Konkol at Tulsa in my DAILY DIRT last night. It now appears to be a done deal. I heard that Konkol was on campus yesterday, and sounds like this got done quickly.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ashley Howard is out as the head men’s basketball coach at La Salle. Howard had been the Explorers head coach since 2018, where he put together a 45-71 (.388) record. This past season, La Salle went 11-19 (5-13 A-10).

Interesting name at San Diego…I have heard from multiple sources that Yale head coach James Jones is involved here. The 3x Ivy League Coach of the Year has been at Yale since 1999, and has been involved with multiple jobs over the past few years. Sounds like he’s also in the mix at George Washington as well.

South Carolina has now whiffed on Sean Miller (went back to Xavier) and Dennis Gates (sounds like he will be hired at Mizzou). Next up….the Gamecocks have interviewed Wake Forest assistant BJ McKie (South Carolina’s all-time leading scorer), and Furman head coach Bob Richey. Sounds like Murray State’s Matt McMahon could be in play here (McMahon also involved at LSU as well).

Richey would be a solid hire for South Carolina.

He is a native of South Carolina and has done very well at Furman.

He’s a solid coach. I thought they might have gone after his predecessor, Niko, but he got locked up by CSU. If they do get him, USC will at least be more exciting to watch even if the results aren’t that much.
