Unofficial Coaching Search Thread

[Captain Awesome]

Please, not another coach from LA Teach.

 

[GOATeric14berry]

I want shaka smart!

 

[IAMLEGEND]

No Gregg Marshall or Pitino...more than likely gonna be a project, but either way I'm sure there will be a petition on who we should hire I'm sure!!!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Tier 1:

Gregg Marshall, Ben Howland

Tier 2: Archie

Tier 3: Pitino Jr, Frank, Tyndall, White

 

[orangesoda]

i would take this hire!!!

 

[Sin City Vol]

With Cuonzo Martin exit, Tennessee Vols get what they deserve - ESPN

As the orange world turns

 

[Stoked]

I heard Lovie Smith plane has landed.....and also Gruden is interested in the job.....

Not funny anymore...

 

[ochocinco]

with Mick, I think his dream job is wherever they pay him the most

Where does that come from? Hes had the same job since 2006.

Hes coached at cincy(asst)/lville(asst)/murray/cincy. Looks like his decisions are based more on geography and proximity to his hometown than money.

 

[Stoked]

Tier 1:

Gregg Marshall, Ben Howland

Tier 2: Archie

Tier 3: Pitino Jr, Frank, Tyndall, White

I'd put frank in tier 2 and would take any of those you named and would be happy.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Arch, E, Arch, E.
Young. Sees the game from the mind of a pg, with a pg/coach brother and learned from his dad who is a great basketball mind.
Just call him now and do it. And don't look back.

 

[DownTheField]

I'm sure CBJ has reached out to Dave Hart offering whatever assistance he can… probably not much BUT I wonder if Eric Spoelstra could help in terms of mitigating the negative PR surrounding the Tennessee job at the moment… the coaches' network is pretty tight.

 

[Coastypop]

If Tennessee was going to spend some money, Mick Cronin would be a nice replacement but I do not believe will Tennessee will even go anywhere near a 2 mill salary.

Tennesse will NOT pay... they have proved this over and over again and again... :cray:

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Rick Byrd of Belmont would be someone to talk to

About what? retirement planning? LOL

I like the guy a lot but he has been at Belmont 27 years. He would be a short term solution at best.

 

[Coastypop]

Tier 1:

Gregg Marshall, Ben Howland

Tier 2: Archie

Tier 3: Pitino Jr, Frank, Tyndall, White

I'd take any on that list....but not holding my breath

 

[Dave1967]

Tier 1:

Gregg Marshall, Ben Howland

Tier 2: Archie

Tier 3: Pitino Jr, Frank, Tyndall, White

Great list but add Ron Turner of GSU and Joe Dooley of FGCU

 

[Coastypop]

Do we know that his deal is signed, sealed and delivered? There may be time to act. I know it's an unpopular thing to post but I think they have to call his agent and verify.

I posted this as a joke....but with the current situation, I would not be surprised by anything

As the orange world turns

the search begins for a true communicator with a background in coaching basketball

 

[DownTheField]

Great list but add Ron Turner of GSU and Joe Dooley of FGCU

Nope. No way. Don't care.

That writer is an arrogant arse

 

[Weezer]

Reasons this search is doomed to fail:

1. We won't pay.
2. Our fanbase will not support a coach having to rebuild.(Look at our roster.)
3. We won't pay.
4. Jimmy Cheek(which ties directly to reasons #1 and #3)

 

[BigZiti09]

Tier 1:

Gregg Marshall, Ben Howland

Tier 2: Archie

Tier 3: Pitino Jr, Frank, Tyndall, White

I think Mick Cronin should be in there but jmo.


Most of those are certain upgrades and the rest are potential upgrades that are worth the risk.

 

[tennrich1]

0% confidence in UT Admin at this point

Not for sure the administration is to blame we've had a major change there and we hired a pretty good coac(so far)h on a first try with football let's give them a chance. Actually in the long run this could be the best thing that could've happened to the program if you're able to see the future and see what was going to happen. I certainly was hoping Coach Martin could be successful here but there's no arguing he certainly didn't overachieve any stretch.

 

[jmpearso]

What about Larry Brown from SMU?

 

[Dave1967]

What about Larry Brown from SMU?

Isn't he 65-70?

 

[tennrich1]

I also appreciate the fact that Coach Hart said he was going to hire a recruiter first I think Cal at Kentucky has proven that's what you must be to win..,. Same story as always it's not X and O's..... it's Williams and Joe's...
