2024 Coaching Carousel

[Section 200]

Maybe but I think it is more of a low cost hire and the sentimental factor from the fans of him being an Ohio guy. Especially with the amount of money they had to buyout Holtmann for.

OSU never has to make a low cost hire in anything so its very interesting they did.

Because anyone worth a thing said no

What's the early line on UL, and who is the most likely to become coach?

They have made a run at Drew. If he says no maybe may. After that is anyone’s guess

I'm cheering for this Monson guy.
They fire his ass, and 5 days later he takes the team (Long Beach State) to the dance.
Well played.

It'll be even funnier when the Beach knocks out Arizona in the first round. Surely lightning can't strike twice, can it?

“This Monson guy” was the coach at Gonzaga when they made their first NCAA tourney in their current streak of 25 or whatever it is. He took the money and left to Minnesota and Few took over after being an assistant.

What if…..

[GoMuskies]

What if what?

I guess Gonzaga fans can thank their lucky stars he left. If he'd have stayed, they would have been a cute little story for a couple years and then gone back to obscurity. Someone would have hired Few away, and he'd probably be about three nattys deep at like UCLA or Arizona or somewhere.

[D-West & PO-Z]

SLU has targeted and is in discussion with Josh Schertz for their head coach opening.

That would be a great hire, imo. Get it done Billikens.

[Final4]

Dayton fans can’t stand grant right now so they’d probably love to send him on his way. IMO he’s a consistent underachiever.

Jeez, that poor man has endured more than most of us could handle. Quite frankly I’m surprised he can even lift his head off his pillow every morning and continue working. I’m pretty certain I couldn’t. But YOU think he’s been a consistent underachiever.
