Last night Tony Kornheiser who usually has nice things to say about SJU referred to both Geo and SJU as decaying programs.

He has definitely called us the team of his youth. And he once ripped an e-mailer a new one for asking if St. John's is the UCLA of mediocrity.

And I haven't watched PTI with any regularity for years, so the UCLA comment happened years ago. Which means we've been stuck in the mud on and off (mostly on) for years.
 
What about Anthony Grant at Dayton. He’s averaged 20-10 there over 5 years and had a great team the Covid year with Obi Toppin and never got the chance to play. He’s a very good coach.

He tried the high major route and didn’t have same success. I doubt he’d be interested in SJU with what he’s been able to do at Dayton. Maybe gtown thinks of him.

Some not snarky names that I could see being willing to interview.

John Becker - Vermont Coach
James Jones - Yale Coach (seemed interested last go around)
Wojo - Former Marquette Coach
Kimani Young - UCONN Associate Head Coach

If this doesn't excite you, it doesn't excite me either. But things seem to be going so badly not making any change seems like the worst option. All four of these guys offer the "you never know" factor at least. As I just can't see Cragg being bought out as well as Anderson the Wojo as next coach move feels like it could happen to me.

And although Wojo being hired wouldn't inspire me AT ALL, one does never know. He was kind of a hot property at one time and he is still young. That's all I've got.

And who would be up next when any of the above are fired in 4 years?

Dayton is Grant's alma mater.
 
Everyone needs to prepare for CMA to be retained. I don't think he should be, but expecting so will make this off-season a lot easier to swallow.

Should he be let go.... everyone should be prepared for a disappointing hire.... will make the pain more bearable.
 
Mark Schmidt would merit a phone call

Schmidt has turned down many opportunities in the past to stay at Bonaventure but Bonas was hit hard this season by NIL and lost several players.

Perhaps his disadvantage position with NIL at Bonaventure would cause Schmidt to now be open to a offer to relocate.

It would be worth the call if a coaching change occurs.

The name "Jay Wright" should not be uttered on this site. As a possibility.

Can we be real?

The man had probably the best job in the conference. He was winning and had elite talent every year. He is a local hero in that area.

He stepped away because he didn't wanna coach anymore. If he came to the conclusion that he did want to coach again... you do realize the 76ers are picking up the phone... the New York Knicks are probably picking up the phone. The Lakers. Kentucky after Cal is done there. Texas.

Think of any INSANELY GOOD job out there. Wright would be at the front of the line. He'd probably push Neptune out and retake his old job before he ever even googled St Johns on his iphone.

Enough

I think Jay is the most realistic option from what I hear.

You can swallow whatever you want I have other ways to handle this shit show. No offense intended to you buck 😊👍
 
How can you bring back Anderson after the Creighton game. You don’t like to criticize young men for losing games but the team quit and the coach never raised his voice. Maybe he wants that insane buyout.
