It would have to be someone not in any form of Post Season play, so they would have had to be bad enough to not qualify for the CBI unless he is going after an Assistant Coach or someone from an NBA staff. If its a current Head Coach, we had better pray its someone that has a team somewhere in that mix and wont be available until they lose.
I agree completely!
UPSET ALERT!!!!!
Let's Go Chants!!!!!
Magnum PI pull. Classic
I wouldn't have a problem with Danny Manning. I just don't know if Whit will have him on the short list.
That would kill our recruiting and the recruits would be gone. This needs to be over in a week or two tops.
I don't think so, unless they had already been thinking about trying to get out of LOI (M Harrell for instance). Seems most recruits want to wait and see who is hired.
Curry likes his job in television so I don't see that happening. The others are still playing basketball professionally, Allen in Israel, Delaney and Washington in Europe and Vasaillo in Puerto Rico I believe. Another list of folks with no HC experience to boot.
I'm gonna keep pushing this, and people might start getting annoyed by it, but Danny Manning is my choice. He's a big name that is still young and knows what power conference coaching is about (spent 10 years back at KU after he retired from the NBA).
I read that in 10 years of monitoring Yahoo and ESPN, nobody has ever done it.
Whit would've been given a pass of he held on to JJ another year. He didn't take it. He wants to win! GO HOKIES!
We need to make a smart, solid hire.
He said we need to make a SMART hire, we must be getting SHAKA!! #sarcasm
Whit faces an early test. The EZ part is done- JJ seems like a decent guy but Whit really didn't have a choice: VT had one win in the last 2+ months of games. The test will be bringing in someone good. GO HOKIES!
They lost to Chaminade, why not Coastal Carolina?
Jeff Allen? We're trying to win basketball games, not hot dog eating contests.
I would give my left nut for Gregg Marshall. Unfortunately, that's a pipe dream.
On a more realistic note, maybe look down at LeVelle Moton at NCCU. He's taken a pretty bad team and put them in the tournament and has been doing things the absolute right way since he took over.
This. Agree 100% with you, Alum07. We're starting all over again for the second time in three years. This time we need to be a hell of a lot smarter than last time and so far we are just by looking at the timing of the termination. We need to make a smart, solid hire. If those guys leave, that sucks but oh well. Those two guys aren't going to rebuild this basketball program that is essentially in the basement's basement right now. Whit and whoever he brings in will be responsible for that.
Dell Curry. Deron Washington. Malcolm Delaney. AD Vasaillo. Jeff Allen. Just a few names that come to mind.
Take someone who got snubbed I think might be an option.
HALLELUJAH!!!! Thanks,Weaver 5yrs @ 800th/yr.
Finally got yahoo to let me fill out my billion dollar bracket. Time to drop out of school and quit work, I'm living on a billion dollars now.
I'll be using singles as toilet paper.
Not 10 years, but I do believe that they have beaten us 5 straight games. I sincerely hope not, but it is feasible that they may get us in 10 straight games.
For my billion dollar bracket I have the same, just with Florida winning the whole shebangibang.
Have to wonder how much fundraising Whit has been doing for this new coach. Is he prioritizing a major basketball hire over potential raises for Bud, Gray, etc?
Yes they have but unless we play hardball, which we didn't last time, all they will have to do is request release from their NLI. Finney-Smith waited a week to request release from his scholarship. Harrell waited four days to request release from his NLI. I understand its a different AD this time but I don't see us playing hardball if they ask to be released.
