who will be the new coach

Do you think UNC fans misspell Jordan? Like on their board do they call him Air Jorden?

I'm sure the spelling of Chris Mullin will be a sticky from now on. (Also we can cut some people a break Mullin autocorrects to Mullen on my browser).
 
Paul, as a political guy, I am standing behind a favorite son from Suffolk County! Gordie Thomas for coach. We're willing to negotiate but are keeping control of Suffolk's delegates until we are impressed by someone else.
 
Wow Danny so much higher than Bobby. Is this because people think Danny is a better option, or Bobby won't come here? I was under the impression Bobby was a better choice.

Hard to take people serious who misspell it. Even the younger fans. Yankees fans know how to spell Babe Ruth. They don't go calling him Baby Rooth.
 
I voted for Danny hurley as this poll shows the school is playing handball against the curb.Didn't Danny coach Kyrie and Kid Gilchrist in h.s. Mullin would be drunk dealing with these aau programs, on a corner drinking ripple with Kenny Yo-yo. The other choices are just ridiculous.

Doesn't sound like the school is looking to upgrade and win now
 
Question? Which SJU team is the gold standard by which all others have and will be judged?

Question? Who was the star of that team?

Question? Who thought that a slow white kid from Flatbush who couldn't jump would become a three time BE player of the year?

Question? Who thought that the same slow kid who wouldn't jump would become an NBA all-star, end up in the College HOF, NBA HOF, and average double digits on the Dream Team in the Olympics?

Question? Who would have thought the same guy would become an NBA executive with two franchises over a dozen years?

Question? Who would have thought the same guy form Brooklyn who spoke with Dems and Dese would become an ESPN TV analyst?

Answer: Don't count Chris Mullin out when it comes to achieving anything related to basketball.

People tried to discount the hick from French Lick as a serious NBA executive, or this other guy from West Virginia who could rain jump shots form as far as 63 feet. Both turned into stellar talents, one of them on the bench as well.

Mullin has drive and grit, and a competitive spirit that doesn't exist in 1% of the people in this country.

Toss him the keys to the gym if he wants them. That is, if he ever gave back the set he owned back then. He deserves the chance, especially after 25 years of failures.
 
Other than Mullin, the entire list is a joke. The Hurleys are Atlantic 10 material at this point. I'll admit their resumes are better than Mahoney/Roberts at their points of hire...but not much better than Fran.

Any other suggestions?

How about Bryce Drew of Valpo...or Michael White of Louisiana Tech...or Shaka Smart of VCU. They all have gaudy records and seem to be headed upwards.
 
I'm tempted to vote for Pecorra b/c the administration is dumb enough to do it. Surprised Bob McKillop isn't on there. Isn't rumored every time we have a vacancy?
 
So if CM doesn't want to coach and Danny Hurley will only agree to the 7 year 11MM offer he wanted from Rutgers, then what?

There is an extremely steep drop off in candidates. Come on all those 'in the know' tell us the leadership at STJ 'has a plan'.

Great point on Hurley.
I know first hand how he used the Rutgers job as nothing but leverage for more money at URI
 
Ii just wonder how much subtle pressure Val Ackerman placed on SJU to pull the trigger on Lavin. Just recently she was quoted as being very disappointed in SJU considering its importance to the success of the BE! She may be telling the powers to be, that it is time to step it up boys!
 
I'm hoping Louisville loses tonight and we go after Rick. I doubt he'd be interested but at least that would show that St John's really is committed to winning and not just saving money. If he's not interested I hope we go after Smart, Miller, Marshall types. Once again at least that shows that we are trying to get better.

Other options are all dice rolls. If we are going that route let's go with our legend. At least that would be someone everyone could easily get behind. Maybe that keeps the next "next coach" thread away for more than a couple years.
