Title: Hypothetical Coaching Search
Post by: BostonPancake on March 24, 2013, 05:08:58 PM
I was just thinking that if Bill Self retired, left for the NBA, etc., who would ku replace him with??  When Roy left, Self was the obvious choice at the time, though no one knew he would be as great as he is.

I don't know who they would get that would be acceptable.  Do you go with Turgeon now??  I doubt it.  Would Crean leave Indiana?  Maybe.  I don't think Calipari would jet Kentucky, but you still have to call.  Do you try Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens?  Who would be acceptable to the fans?

Serious hypotheticals only, please.

Make a run at Beilein, probably get shot down, go for Shaka Smart. After those two go after Stevens.

Post by: bones129 on March 24, 2013, 05:18:34 PM
Manning would want it but doesn't have the experience yet. Stevens and Smart would be at the top of the list. I suspect Turgeon would want and get a look but would not be a front runner.

KU would never hire Shaka Smart.
Title: Re: Hypothetical Coaching Search
Post by: Panjandrum on March 24, 2013, 05:19:35 PM
I don't think you leave Indiana.

Brad Stevens seems like he'll be a lifer at Butler, especially with them going to the Big East.

Turgeon probably gets an interview. Manning gets an interview. Don't know who Zenger would hire, though, or who Dana Anderson would tell him to hire.

There doesn't seem to be a slam dunk guy at a mid-major or high major that would qualify.  Maybe Shaka, but I honestly don't think they'd want him because, well...you know how their fans are.

Hell, if Marshall keeps winning at WSU, I wouldn't be shocked if they talked to him.

Yes. I understand Williams was the safer hire, but Self had a much higher upside. Look at his resume up to that point. He was 35-13 at Illinois, with 2 Elite 8's and a sweet 16 under his belt.

Roy had played for multiple national titles.  The only "upside" Self had is his age.

Post by: Stevesie60 on March 24, 2013, 07:46:12 PM
I mean, retrospect is 20/20, but looking at their resumes up to that point I see more upside in Self's, and yes, age obviously being a factor. He won everywhere he went with consistency, never had a down year. Good grief, he took Oral Roberts from 6-21 to 21-7, and Tulsa from 19-12 to 32-5. Also, I didn't realize he was an assistant at KU in the 80's.

Yeah, but I don't think the results of one game is enough to justify the statement "If Smart was white nobody would think he's better than Stevens." Keep in mind I said in this thread that I would take Stevens over Smart.

roy + bill is a lightning strike.  no one is saying ku would be texas tech at this point, but none of those other coaches would have the sustained level of success bill and roy has had.

do you think your options today would equal that list? I don't. (I don't think ku was on the brink of collapse,either, but I don't think you would have gotten izzo or have been as successful with crean.)

Side Note: I always heard Brad Stevens would listen to Indiana, but not really anywhere else.  I'm sure he'd listen to other schools, but realistically, with where Butler is now headed as a member of the Big East, I think the odds of him ever leaving a God-like existence and sitting on piles of Fox TV money over the next thirty years is probably about the same as me flying to the moon on a unicorn.

1) That was a decade ago, before the Big Ten hit the jackpot and now has revenues that are out of this world (MSU has the highest operating margin and revenue of any program in the nation, I believe...)

2) Izzo is a lot older now.  It's much less likely to pull an old guy away.

KU will get a good coach, but a lot of the elites are going to have a harder time because most schools (except us) are keeping their good coaches, and a lot of the really good ones with KU acceptable resumes are already in great and/or elite jobs and probably don't want to take that risk.

i read something over the weekend stating that Butler's move to the Big East makes his job harder and that he is more willing to listen now. He won't be able to dominate a pud conference anymore.  He's smart to be choosy though. I'd take Stevens over Smart, but that's just me.

Why not Turg?

I know most people like him, for some reason I am just not a huge fan.

I'm not either, but it seems like he has been discussed as an eventual replacement since he was at WSU.

I agree. If they want a "KU guy" they should just get Turgeon. He is only one of two coaches to have any success at all at Texas A&M and the only coach to ever have sustained success there.

Self's goal is to become the all-time winningest coach in KU basketball history.  He just signed a 10-year contract extension, so KU doesn't have to worry about hiring another coach for at least another decade or so.  We won't have to settle for a Turgeon or Boyle.

The thing that's gotten to be kind of sad about all of our resident ku friends is that they're slipping into "explainer guy" mode more and more.

I am guilty of it, and probably do it a little to much on this board . . . at times.   But Explainer Guy immediately goes into sports nerd/fanboi mode, always there to validate, clarify and explain the situation.  The last post by Beems is a fine example of that. 

I'm going to need to see a little more out of resident j-hawk friends besides a round robin of butthurt, Explainer Guy, Not getting it guy. 

Pick up your game, or take some time off, regroup and come back strong.

I'm here for you.

-------------------

Now back on topic:  Tad Boyle is interesting because he seems to want to play a little JYC type basketball, but I didn't see much of CU this year, so maybe that's changed.

Beems, 810 was saying last week that Bill would have to coach you guys for another 10 yrs and avg 30 wins/season to do that.  Both of which seem unlikely given that his current avg over the last 10 yrs is under that 30 game mark, and that most coaches don't do anything anywhere for 20yrs at a time.

Who knows, but I would say the odds aren't in his favor.

His average over the last ten years is actually 30.1 wins.  It is right on that cusp.

He'll make more money than any college gig, and he'll be able to go to a high-high major and be a better recruiter than before if he decides to return to college. Great move for him. Great for the Celtics because they're thinking outside the box and didn't just hire someone like Vinny Del Negro or Flip Saunders.

yeah, but he'll be making more than he would at any of those college jobs. he'll get to fly on chartered jets and stay in five star hotels and eat caviar and crap for a couple years.

And yeah, the gm is way more important than a coach.

Pretty much what Michigancat said. If Brad fails at the NBA level, he can still fall to the high major college level. If he jumps to the high major college level and fails, well what's left besides Butler-like schools? Smart move by him.

Also it's no secret that Self wants to return to OSU. I have heard from 2 sources that he has said, without a doubt, he will coach there at some point. As Bilas (I think? maybe Gottlieb or Parish) said, he'll go to the NBA at some point and come back to OSU. Spurs makes the most sense.
