Possible Coaching Candidates

Coach K has always looked out for St. John's.

I don't think he'd recommend Bret if he thought he was a retread

I didn’t say I would agree with choice. I just have a feeling it might be headed that way.

I know I quoted you, but I wasn't going after you.

We could have snapped up Jay Wright when he was at Hofstra. That ship sailed years ago.

Wright was a real deal at the time. . .IF Jarvis left, Manetta wanted him but there was internal pushback…SJ President told Ed to hire best candidate irrespective of internal pressures , unfortunately, Jarvis overplayed his hand with Wizards and th Ernest is histoy

Hmm Coach K appears at our games and then the news starts spreading PITINO rumors. Im thinking Coach K going to fully endorse (even though he doesnt need it) Pitino. Cragg knows rick doesnt have a buyout. offer the guy a lifetime contract with caveats like must reach NCAA every 2 out of 4/5 otherwise min NIT bids .

Again, where is the "substantial eight-figure buyout" thing coming from? Braziller? I find it really hard to believe that number. If by some reason that's accurate, everyone needs to go and they should close the law school. :)

CMA makes anywhere from $2.5 million - $3 million, depending on who you listen to. He has 4 years remaining on his contract and it is quite common for coaches to get 100% of their remaining contract paid out if "terminated without cause." Both Hurleys have that deal, for example. At the very low end, Anderson would be looking at 70% of what's remaining, so the likely buyout range is anywhere from $7 million to over $10 million.

I have no clue who next coach is going to be. And I’ll root for whoever it is and hope it’s the right choice yet again lol. But why are so many it seems against brey? Sure his last 5 years have been a bit hit or miss. But some have been hit. Something we don’t see at all. Plus his previous 5 or so at ND were very very good. And his teams can hit the 3!!!! Anyway. Was just curious why are you against him from those against him?

I like Brey a lot and his career body of work is very good . Like most of the former BE Schools who defected to the ACC , ND has struggled for much of their time there . While he is not as old age wise as Pitino , he is 63 . Maybe he needs a year off to Re - Energize ? Spend a very lucrative year at ESPN , CBS or Fox Sports . He’s from the DC area and maybe he might like the Hoya job ? More than St John’s. He would be a lot better than CMA but , then again , who wouldn’t .

I think it would be interesting if posters that really know the coaching landscape put a list of candidates and their odds of being the next coach at St. John's. No need to start a separate thread I guess. We could follow it here. One would have to take into account contract impediments and the like. I wouldn't bother with Jay Wright, Coach K, or other such no way no how names. Including odds on the next coach being CMA is fair game, as that is still in play if the team wins their remaining big East games and goes deep into the conference tournament. The only coaching candidate I would handicap is Pitino at 20 to 1. Which may be understating his longshot status. Pitino is for universities that aren't afraid of their own shadows. I don't see SJU in that category.

I've seen that last sentence written about Mahoney, Jarvis, Roberts, and Mullin so I think SJU can find a guy worse than Anderson. In fact, I know they can.
 
I see nothing wrong with Jones being a serious candidate worthy of a look. But the one thing I don’t want to be the determining factor in our next head coaching hire is where he is from. If jones is the best candidate then hire him but don’t put him ahead of others because he is from queens. I personally am more impressed with what Langel has done at Colgate but their body of work is comparable. Jones can say he helped recruit an NBA player at Norfolk State.

Besides his record, what do you know about Mr. Langel ?

How many times have you seen him coach A game ?

Thanks.

Serious question- as long as there are no red flags with on-court behavior or off-court indiscretions, why does anything but his record matter?

Article on ESPN+ today about schools potentially looking for new coaches, by Jeff Borzello. St John's is mentioned.

Anderson has a substantial eight-figure guarantee if he were to be fired, and it's unclear whether the school will come up with the money. Rick Pitino will be rumored as a replacement, as will Mike Brey and Bobby Hurley, but there are also a number of up-and-coming names in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast (Hofstra's Speedy Claxton, Fordham's Keith Urgo, Bryant's Jared Grasso) that could be intriguing.

good PR piece done on Pitino. After reading it, I am now leaning towards him as our first option if they do move on from CMA. I bet Pitino would negotiate a driver on call to take him to and from his home in Westchester.

Also remember it took Langel like 6 seasons to turn it at Colgate. Got to have patience

We will need patience with anyone other than the 2-3 sure fire options that we don’t seem confident will be the choice. Colgate was a crap spot when he showed up and it was his first head coaching job. Of course it was gonna take time. Agree 6 years is a long time and he won’t get that here.

Jones has done extremely well but he also took the reigns from a successful coach and successful program while also being a part of the program as AC for years prior, there was much less change for him.

Prior to this season (when I relocated to Florida) I regularly attended Colgate home basketball games and had the opportunity to meet many of the players parents and athletic staff.

if you were familiar with Colgate athletics you would understand that Colgate has substantial advantages over most of its peer academic institutions it competes with for players.

If they have substantial advantages why did the coach before Langel go 165-212 over 13 years
