Apparently Coach Kim English has withdrawn his name to join UNC coaching staff, he’s also rumored to have a strong relationship with Juke Harris. I think Kim English and Coach Barnes are still pretty tight, and perhaps Coach Barnes is getting Danny White to offer a position to Coach English as an assistant next-in-line-to-be Coach Barne’s replacement for when he retires someday. Coach Kim English was well liked and a strong recruiter I believe while at Tennessee. He would be well groomed to be a natural replacement for Barnes and be hand picked by Barnes to continue development of Tennessee basketball where Barnes continued to shine despite Texas saying he wasn’t good enough.

Perhaps Coach English coming here would entice Juke Harris to come here ! This would be a phenomenal development if that occurred, let’s start a rumor and make it happen!

I kind of doubt Nate Ament will be coming back, but this 1-2 type of development would certainly take the sting off of losing Ament. If Ament came back, and getting Coach English and bringing in Juke Harris would probably put Tennessee in FF talk for the next 1-2 years

Rumors around the UNC program are English is just burned out and decided to take off a year but who knows if that is true or not. Could be a number of things.

I don't think Danny is the type to relinquish control over the next hire to the current hire. English hasn't really impressed on the biggest stage, either, which makes it even less likely that Danny is willing to make that concession.

No way in hades do you go down the road of "coach in waiting" with English or anyone else.

Idk, it seems like English gets way overhyped on this site. What exactly did he do in the two years that he was on staff here and as a head coach at two different schools that would have him being viewed as next in line here?

Definitely. Bring him in and then promote when Rick leaves. We killed it w that plan in WBB.

I think it is a terrible idea to let a successful coach name their successor. That is how you get Steven Pearl.
