George Mason hiring Kim English

[VOLED]

Greg Bell or Jay Price

Has Jay's name been mentioned before for any type of role? I have no idea what type of coach he is, but he is a good guy. Might also bring toughness to the team.

Bring in Hardaway. BA HA HA

This is a really big blow. It wasn’t an accident that English came in and helped out recruiting go another level

We landed James & Walker prior to him and led for Springer and Johnson...he was big in helping land Chandler but not sure he took recruiting to another level.

VQ says Xavier’s Jonas Hayes is a name to watch

Hate to lose him.

It will only be temporary. He can go prove himself at a small school and then by time Barnes retires we can bring him back as a HC!!

Wasn't his name mentioned when English was hired too?

Yup

Congrats Coach English!

I’m curious if they look at Bobby Maze, I wouldn’t think so as that seems a bit unlike Barnes to do, but would obviously put us in a great spot with a bunch of dudes real quick. I also have no clue of Maze is interested in coaching at the college level, just a thought that’s crossed my mind.

Jai Lucas could be someone...played for Barnes, hired as support staff by Barnes and then stayed at Texas under Shaka, Calipari and Kentucky hired him this year as an official assistant coach, moving Tony Barbee to a support role.

Now that is an idea regarding Maze. Could possibly work out well, especially with recruiting. Obviously a lot of question marks, but off the bat, I wouldn't be opposed personally.

Good luck to Coach English at George Mason.

Congrats to Coach English! Best of luck to you!

I wonder if Barnes might look at Aaron Green, another ex Vol coaching at Oak Ridge. He or Maze would be out of the box hires but they could bring some new ideas into the offensive system as well as tapping into some future prospects.

He’s credited with the development of Yante Maten 🤩

He also has a twin brother. Maybe we can get two coaches for the price of one.

They could take turns sitting on the sideline and no one would be the wiser

I was thinking both hit the recruiting trail at the same time

I’d rather keep Maze as our long term AAU pipeline.
GBO!!

Good point. Seems like he's doing well with AAU; I wonder if he has long term goals within...

Jarvis Hayes is his brother. Both played at UGA. Jonas coaches at Xavier and is the more accomplished coach. Jarvis was the more accomplished player (lottery pick in 2003) and currently coaches at...wait for it...Georgia St., under Rob Lanier.

 

[Halph66]

Congratulations, well deserved.

 

[omghulkhands]

That’s a good 1st head coaching gig too.

 

[Border Vol]

Good luck Coach English in your new head coaching job at George Mason! You may wind up being interviewed by Danny White when Coach Barnes decides to retire in a few years.

 

[FranklinVol16]

Didn't read the thread but Jonas Hayes will be his replacement.

Yea...fwiw I’ve heard that name too, but Jonas is definitely more accomplished and would be my preference.

He can likely get someone more accomplished than either of those guys. Having played at UT should have very little significance in the hiring process.
