2019 Coaching Changes

Suddenly it all makes sense. CM has secretly been the 5th Impractical Joker these past 4 years. 5 life long friends who compete to embarrass themselves. Sam Vulcano, Joe Gatto, Brian Quinn, James Murray and Chris Mullin. :lol:

Sal, Q, Joe and Murr have as much college coaching experience as our staff so kinda makes sense.

Sources: Nevada's Eric Musselman is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach at Arkansas. Official announcement expected soon.[/quote]

We'll see if Arkansas is the right fit for little Eric.
 
Virginia Tech is expected to hire Wofford coach Mike Young, barring a last-minute collapse in negotiations, source told @Stadium.

It never even occurred to me that they might lose their coach, despite the season they had.
 
New UCLA names are Kruger (66) and Barnes (64)
I don't get how UCLA with guys like Casey Wasserman involved and having the longest time to find someone continues to strike out.

Kruger would be awesome there.

Sounds like Rick Barnes is the leader. The biggest thing with both are age.

Barnes has never really done it for me. I think Kruger could win a national championship with SoCal kids.
 
Both are really good coaches but that's why I put the ages in there. I'd have same concerns

Don't know if he has won a national title, but he has been to the Final Four with four different teams. Also, did a very good job at UNLV.
 
I don't know why anyone would want that UCLA job. Their fans and admin are probably worse than us in terms of expectations. I look at Steve Alford. In 4 of his 5 full seasons he won over 20 games, went to 4 NCAAs and like 3 sweet sixteens, and was fired half way through the season. I'd shit my pants if we had that success.

You really comparing our fans expectations to UCLA?? SJU fans just expect to make it into top half of the league yearly, with the hope that some day we relatively consistently make the ncaa tourney. I don’t think that’s lofty nor compares in any way to UCLA fans expectations. Once more, UCLA has a heyday of a bunch of national titles. Our heyday is count-em ONE Final 4... something Tariq Owens already attained yesterday.
 
When you have a terrible staff and you're biased in favor of them, you will continually move goalposts and alter expectations. It automatically sets them up for success which fits the narrative. Several fans swimming neck deep in de nile.

Kentucky fans don't have unreasonable expectations? They ran Tubby Smith out of town. Pushed him out to Minnesota after never missing the NCAA's.

So I guess John Calipari shouldn't want that job? Come on...

UCLA should compete every year with Arizona for PAC 12 titles especially now with the conference down. Sorry that is not unreasonable. They have the history, the facilities and the ability to recruit the best in the country to do such things.
 
Of course , in the Post Season the Critics outnumber the fans . Whether here at this Site or, at other Programs . A lot of things get twisted by those who are Twisters . It’s a lot like politics today , regardless of which Party is your preference . But , I digress .., Some here wondering why UCLA runs through Coaches like a bad movie that only gets through its first week showing , never to be heard from again . Anyway , UCLA fans , like may of the Blue Bloods or , more accurately former Blue Bloods , has unreasonable expectations . Their fans want the reincarnation of John Wooden and he isn’t available . Indiana has gone through a merry go round since Bobby Knight and Archie Miller is likely 1 or 2 seasons away from joining Mike Davis , Kelvin Sampson , Tom Crean elsewhere than Bloomington . Calipari ? Despite a philosophy that churns faster than a NBA Roster , he’s not winning as many Championships as the Wildcat faithful demand . He could soon leave if the Banners don’t return . Duke ? How could they lose this year and not be in tonight’s game ? Must be Coach K made a mistake somewhere ? Chris Beard ? Sure he caught lightning in a bottle this season and is the new darling of this Site and others but , he’s a middle aged Coach , with not a lot on his resume besides Ark -LRock and TT . What happens , if he leaves , goes to UCLA or , somewhere else , and loses ? Think they keep him ? Not likely . He could follow the likes of Ben Howlsnd , Steve Lavin and Steve Alford right out the door . How about Jamie Dixon , could not continue winning at Pitt in the ACC and leaves for TCU and leaves the Panthers a mess . Yet , gets a nod from UCLA and can’t work a deal . In the BE , many on this site near deify Willard at SH , yet he had a losing record like Mullin for 4 years there until the Whitehead , Delgado years . Posters here crucify Mullin but , few comment on how SH should have been the 8-10 team and 7 th place finisher , all on a bad call against us . Otherwise Mullins team is 9-9 in theBE . And, 3rd place is ours . Mart A leaving ? A catastrophe ? Hardly .. He did a good job recruiting Transfers , period the end. Who were his best ? Simon , Clark and Figgy . Doubt he had much to do withHeron . Let’s see how he does at Nebraska ? Think Hoiberg will let him run a practice or coach free throws ? Matt , while valuable , was a 1 trick Pony and his role won’t change . He’ll get Hoiberg a few transfers and maybe make them respectable in the BiG 10 for a season or 2 but , they aren’t going into the top tier of that league , ever ! And , how come the Critics don’t mention the free pass that was universally awarded Mullin in his first season with the empty cupboard that Lavin left ? How they have forgotten . Everyone touted the talent on this Season’s team as if it were Superior to every other BE team . Here’s a clue . It wasn’t any more talented ! BE Coaches only predicted a 4 or 5 th place standing in the pre season poll . Pretty accurate , if you factor in the SH game . I often wonder how many of the Team’s Critics are Alums ? And , if so , how many write a check each year to the School ? Lastly , it’s totally unfair to assess Chris Mullin with the 20 year Doldrums of this Program . That’s a complete different issue . Largely attributable to the Administrstion , before President Gempesaw .

Heron was 100% Matt A. Mullin never even talked to him before committing.

Matt A had Femi lined up and Mullin couldn't be bothered to meet him and close the deal.

You should give Matt A and Greg credit for the 20 wins, since they did the recruiting and coaching.

Yes, Williard was on the rocks, but him and his staff brought in talent. We're leaking talent (Ponds and Mack). We currently do not have a single PG for next season.
