I'll concede KDJ isn't the worst we could do. He does have a cool nickname "Froggie".Quote:

right you are. If he had this team, we would see some offense and would at least be in the NIT. Also he has beaten the Rebs the last 2 out of 3.Quote:

Thank you. People are complaining about taking more than 3 years to turn things into a positive direction, yet want a guy who has already proven it took him a full decade to get to 20 wins in a lesser conference?Quote:

I've seen you spell 'suck' this way before...please tell me you actually know that's not how it's spelled?Quote:

No one said he would be a homerun hire, but who would be.?
I had rather go the ex coach or present coach route than go the assistant route.
Which SEC school right now has a head coach with no previous D1 head coaching experience? Zero that I can think of.
Hell we haven't made a basketball hire like that since who?
No matter who it is they have to bring energy to the program and get the fan base back...

I think ur right about Anderson at Mizzu. But I think he won a recent national championship at D2 or D3..Quote:

No Eustachy, Brady, or Kermit.
Here are some good choices:
Mchael White - don't think we could get him. Turned down UT last year
Brad Underwood - Stephen F Austin
Ben Jacobson - Northern Iowa
Bobby Hurley - Buffalo
And if you want to get a ton of talent but risk the possibility of going on probation, we could get Ben Howland.
no shit Sherlock-i should have axed u how to spell it. i would have asked Coach but he can't spell Stans.Quote:

You know there was a time when the consensus opinion was don't Hire Jackie ,let's hire some young up and comer.Quote:

Here's a few other names with about 10 minutes of looking at the coaching staffs of some top 25 teams:
Joe Pasternack - Asst. Arizona. has new orleans ties as was a head coach at UNO. Two good years and two terrible ones make him a risky hire. But I think guys learn a lot from their first HC gig and he's been in a top program the past few years.
Damon Stoudamire - Asst. Arizona - no idea but he's into coaching and has name recognition as a former NBA player. might be worth at least sniffing around and seeing if you think he's got anything special about him
Kerry Johnson - Asst. Louisville
Jeff Capel - Asst. Duke - has been mentioned befoe
Haha, well 'sux' is fine, but 'suxed' just reads weird. I couldn't get past it.Quote:

Why no on Capel? Not fighting you, just curious.Quote:

here is why I like John Brady
In 10 seasons at LSU, Brady compiled a 184–126 record, including two SEC Regular Season Titles and four NCAA tournament appearances. A sweet 16 and a final Four. he has a record of 380-306 for .554% . I would take that in the next 10 years at MSU. Now show me a Coach that we could sign with a better resume' than that
