I say this w/out sources but Jalil Betha will be an interesting portal guy.

Cane fans want Drake's HC.

All 20 of them.

they must have lost a BIG NIL backer... to go from Final 4 paying big numbers to Wong/Norchad/Poplar/Pack....

I personally wouldn’t be too hot and bothered to hire a coach from GW…

Always hoped he would be a head coach in the Big East for his Alma mater (PC) at some point. Just never materialized.

NIL/transfer world forces another coach into early retirement.

I don't know how "early" 75 is for retirement.

He’s 75, so it’s not that early.

Sorry for the repeat

 

[espken]

75 is the new 55

He was also a huge beneficiary of NIL with the Final Four team and Peck getting record $$$. Team apparently really struggled with chemistry last year despite being loaded. They got a top 10 HS player (Bethea) but just haven't clicked this year either.

I would call the middle of a season early regardless of age.
Same as I would call two weeks prior to the season early for Tony Bennett.
Same as Wake Forest CFB coach.

Maybe the NCAA will wake up

Nice run in '23. But football is getting the lionshare as you know.

Possible, but I highly doubt it.
They are not prepared to put their hand in their own pocket to assist in paying athletes.

I except Rick to do the same thing here, eventually.

I really believe coaches do that, to ensure "their guy" gets the job. Doing it just before the season, like Bennett did, hamstrings what an administration can do. It could set a program back for years.

I don't know the situation here (it certainly seems like wins and losses played a big part), but just once, I want to see an administration not grant the resignation and say, "finish out the season." It will never happen, though.

Very worried about Rick doing it as well.

I don't think Jim did it for his 2nd in command. Caputo was his right hand for a long time before he went to GW to get HC experience. The interim HC was previously a HC with a poor record. Its just going to be a question if Miami goes big time money or Caputo.
