2019 Coaching Changes

Not sure what Mercer is looking for. Down year this season, but won 19 last season. Plus they had a three-year stretch under Hoffman where they won 78 games.

And NCAA T win over Duke if I recall correctly. Crazy

Forgot about that. Now it's even more crazy than I originally thought.:lol:

And I don't think that that was even one of the slower-footed Duke teams that we should have seen a possible upset brewing.
 
Wow. Mercer only had two Tournament appearances (in 1981 and 1985) and zero wins. After Hoffman joined and took down Duke, they moved from the A-Sun to Southern (a nice step up). Since joining Southern in 2015 they got to 19 wins 3 times.

Funny to read the replies. Really, does Mercer think they're Butler or something?

Don't know about Hoffman's recruiting, but if a program happened to be looking for an assistant, you could do much worse than a former head coach who seems to know something about X's and O's. Especially for a year or two as he tries to work his way back to a head coaching gig.
 
With expected vacancy at Nebraska, Fred Hoiberg may be a guy to keep an eye on.

Interesting and unexpected (at least by me), but they have football/Big 10 money to pay a ton to the right guy.

Da Mayor was born in Lincoln...

Funny because Tim Miles essentially used same "transfer" strategy that Hoiberg employed at Iowa St.

Thanks, had no clue. Thought he was Da Mayor of Ames from the moment he was born.
 
Wake just lost to Miami in the ACC.

From what I hear Danny Manning is in trouble. New AD just hired and chances are they will buy him out and move on.

Lots of oil money. Going to take a hard look at Buzz Williams...

Btw lots of very solid HC's will be looking for jobs...maybe as assistants....just saying....

It worked for Miles last year
Issac Copeland got hurt (former Hoya) and they went down the tubes
They also lost some players who transferred out

It did and they looked to be a NCAA team until Copeland got hurt. But even with that it is not like he was winning big every year. Lots of bad years as well.

And also Miles admits the strategy is because Nebraska is not the easiest school to recruit too and they need to be creative. That has never been the case st SJU.
