Coaching Search Master Thread (now featuring worst possible choice oscar weber)

[kso_FAN]

I've got my list.

Mack, Pastner, Cronin

At least try. They may all laugh in our faces, but go at them with a lengthy contract at $2mil+ per.

If all good choices say no, hire Underwood.

And at least give Pearl a call and say "we're very interested, but this is an impossible situation. Maybe in a couple years..." At least let him know he's still wanted even if he's unhirable.

this is a great plan

I mean, WE HAVE THE CASH and a PALACE FOR FACILITIES to offer. Currie needs to go sell the heck out of that while also pointing out that Frank was a lunatic and that's why he left one of the best jobs in the midwest for an SEC loser school.

The AD should also come out publicly and state that Jank/Henson/Boyle are not candidates for the job and we wish they would go away. 

EDIT:  Also Sutton and everyone else who NU interviewed

Wojciechowski has also served as a court coach and scout for Mike Krzyzewski, assisting the USA Basketball Senior National Team staff with on-court duties as well as game preparation since 2006, including the program’s gold medal performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
   
The post players under Wojciechowski were a big reason the 2009-10 team was able to win the NCAA National Championship, the ACC Tournament, the ACC Regular Season and NIT Season Tip-Off titles. Defense and rebounding was key for the Blue Devils who had one of the nation’s top defenses, holding opponents to 61.0 points per game, and ranked 14th out of 334 teams in rebounding margin. One of those post players, senior Brian Zoubek, set the school record for offensive rebounds in a single season with 143. The other starter on the inside, senior Lance Thomas, was named to the ACC All-Defensive team by the coaches and the media.
   
In his first season as a coach, he was instrumental in leading Duke, with seven freshmen on its roster, to a 29-5 record, the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title (15-1), the 2000 ACC Tournament championship, an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance and the No. 1 ranking in both major polls following the regular season.
   
Working primarily with Duke’s inside players, Wojciechowski’s second year was even better as the Blue Devils won the national championship in 2001, while also capturing the ACC regular season and tournament crowns and posting a 35-4 record. His influence was evident throughout the year, from the emergence of Casey Sanders as a bona fide inside presence to Reggie Love’s strong performances in the ACC Tournament to Carlos Boozer’s inspired play at the Final Four after missing six games and playing a limited role in the East Regional semifinal and final. Wojciechowski saw one of his former teammates and pupils, Shane Battier, earn the consensus National Player of the Year award as well as National Defensive Player of the Year for the third consecutive season.

Out of the blue or smoke?

Do you think we would be able to lure Mack away from his Alma Mater?  Same with Mick, but atleast we have the huggins tie there.

Yeah, pretty arousing.

[GoodForAnother]

We should be able to lure a good coach.  We're sitting on a pile of cash with a top 15 roster coming back next year with two all-conference potential players, we have a brand new facility that's among the best in the country, we have a dedicated fanbase that's sold out our stadium for the last few years and as long as you win 20 games a year, beat KU every once in a while and make the tourney, you're not gonna get fired.

That's why it's going to suck so much when we hire some loser.

[kso_FAN]

Do you think we would be able to lure Mack away from his Alma Mater?

Would be tough, but $$$ are $$$. All 3 of the names are tough, but you've got to at least try. Do that and I can handle Underwood if they all say no. I just want Currie to fight for K-State and make this look like its a great job again. Its not a blueblood job, but could be good for any of those guys. And a job that's willing to pay a good coach what he's worth.

[Cire]

mack has an outstanding job.  would not come.  Cronin?  lateral move?  Pastner (lmao)

Right, and money talks, but it's always going to be a challenge to get someone to leave their hometown (Mick) or where they played ball (Chris).  Not saying we can't, like you said we have the tools.  But we are k-state so you never know

[kso_FAN]

mack has an outstanding job.  would not come.  Cronin?  lateral move?  Pastner (lmao)

I don't disagree, but try. That's all I ask.

[puniraptor]

No kidding. Our coach left for widely considered step down job. Why couldn't we lure someone else?

No way in hell we get a sniff from Pastner, he's waiting for Zona and doesn't need to go anywhere else before then.

Because, we're K-State and we largely suck at this.

Would take. Media (DickyV) would love him.

[kougar24]

Who's got this?

[GoodForAnother]

weird how duke lists their coaches phone numbers like that.  someone should call woj and chat him up.

[Cartierfor3]

Just tell Mack "Tell us what your dream job is and we'll put a no buyout clause for that job in your contract."  We could offer him whatever Xavier offers + 1 million, and another million for his staff.   You all know the stats

Just make the guy a knock him off his feet offer and make him say no.  At worst we get the kid a raise at his current job.

I'm trying to track the flights, but there's too many!

[SdK]

I know, I know. I'm just saying that if I'm going to have to deal with the let down of not getting one of the bigger names/flashier coaches, I don't want to go into a deep depression about having such a shitty coach. When we come out of this debacle, if it's not riding a big splash hire triumphantly onto the shore Mackin' on hoes and giving out Pearl necklaces, having our school Pastnered all over ESPN, if we can't come off looking Smart for watching FM go this AM, if there is going to be no great Buzz, I at least want to surface Underwood and float safely on in.
