Coaching Carousel

Also interesting since this came out. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.c...ota officials envision $5M,they “lag in NIL.”

Maybe a young, rising coach in the MWC would be interested. OH wait...

I can see the Iowa-Fran thing ending. Things seem to have gone stale there. Media are talking about Neptune like he's already doomed, pending a BET run.

Other guy I'm curious about is Collins at Northwestern. Kind of seems like he's at the end of his rope. I can see him being an underwhelming hire at a place like Nova.

The Wildcats beat Minnesota in a Big Ten tournament first-round game on Wednesday and will face Wisconsin on Thursday.

Collins might have done his best coaching job this year. NW most certainly not firing him.

That sound is Mason Miller hitting the portal

Yeah not firing. I can see Collins leaving.

Johnson is a bit of a surprise.

Thinking who is still left in danger of the power schools? Neptune? Could Iowa and Fran part?

Word is Fran will be done at Iowa and that could be the job Ben McCollum has his eyes on

His job to lose imo.

I guess the McDermott to Indiana talk is overblown. Why would Miller leave if he had any inkling that McDermott might go. He would know. Miller would probably be their guy if McDermott left.

Just last year, Creighton made the unprecedented move of naming their basketball practice facility after McDermott. Would seem highly unlikely they'd ever consider that if there was a hint he wasn't a lifer there.

Ruthless?

Ruthless is a death by a thousand cuts aka letting this drag out to next week. This was a quick, decisive shot to the head.

Always hate it when a former St. John’s coach gets let go at another school.

Frans 65. Not sure what he’s got left but doesn’t strike me as a beach guy. I find him hilarious, wonder if he could be any good on tv.

Would Nova go for him?

 

[paultzman]

Would Nova go for him?

Doubt it, he seems progressively more of a hot head every year. He should retire, watch Butler games where son Connor is an AC, chauffeur Caitlin Clark who is dating Connor, maybe have another kid or become an anger management guru.

Would Nova go for him?

If Nova bites the bullet on Neptune they will have better options than McCaffrey.

Some Trilly updates for those interested

Villanova is a matter of when not if in regards to announcing Neptune's firing.
Chris Collins, Porter Moser, Malik Allen, Richard Pitino, Ryan Odom in the mix there. Richard would angle hard for it if Odom ends up at UVA.

Not done yet but NC State and Will Wade have advanced to the negotiation stage of talks.

Takayo Siddle from UNCW is the favorite for the USF job. The current UNCW AD was most recently at UConn so that could end up being the landing spot for Kimani Young or Bill Murray's kid.
