Coaching Carousel Master Thread (MAYBE FEATURING THE KSU CATS?)

[Mixed-Nutz]

James Dickey out at Houston, Alvin's Dad is now jobless   

[michigancat]

Grumblings that Ford will be fired and that the Pokes are taking a hard look at Bob Hoffman (Mercer's head coach with an Oklahoma background, presumably discovered Blake Griffin for OU).

I really wouldn't understand this. IMO you just ride it out with Ford as long as his classes continue to be as good as they are.

There's probably a 5% chance they fire ford. Would cost a lot of $$$

[Stevesie60]

shaka to marquette

next

nice scoop, ksluke

oh i thought you were just spitballin'

apologies there ERII

Who is reporting this?

I think it's just a bunch of VCU fans who want Shaka out.

This was the biggest concern in one of the articles I read. OSU owes him another 11 million through 2019. He would have to have another high paying job waiting for him in order to keep OSU from losing that money. http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/johnehoover/john-e-hoover-if-travis-ford-is-out-at-osu/article_0eadc864-94a8-5971-aaf9-3178c7db9496.html.

So, he becomes fireable in 3-4 yrs.

He can be our backup plan for oscar's replacement if Brad doesn't work out!!

Do you watch Oklahoma State games? The entire fan base hates him, those empty seats aren't producing a plug nickle. They can't ride this out until his buyout is pared down. Their already sad ticket revenue will no doubt be worse next season. If this continues next year, and it will, they have to cut him.

Skinny(er) Jack Black has them in the Red?

don't see it


They're not in the red, that's nearly impossible for a high major mens basketball program; but they are certainly leaving cash on the table, lots of it.

yeah, but I think they would end up with someone worse, such as Mercer's head coach.

Probably. I wonder if they would have started talks with oscar Pearl if he was available last weekend. I think it would have been a great fit for both parties. They could poach someone elses coach too like VA Tech did.

Those who think about Ford's buyout amuse me.

T. Boone. Pickens.

Case closed.

[Demo158]

I still think he'll get one more year to prove himself (with either a confy win or tourney run). It seems like their Athletic department is much more concerned with Football anyways. But then again, I can't predict crap and Ford could very well be looking for a job by this time next week. Pearl did seem like a homerun hire for them if Ford is crap-canned...

hobby sport.  t'pick is a football guy first.

[pissclams]

osu just needs to falsify some "for cause" issues like ku did w/ mangino and fire the guy

Some made up story like Marcus Smart claiming he flops so much because he is constantly in fear when playing, from being physically assaulted in practice by Ford so much.

Calvin Simpson to Houston? I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Yeah he got rich by giving a mediocre basketball coach $10 million to go home and watch Maury because Mike Holder is a moron

I dunno.  Maybe it's just the peaked eyebrows.  Can you see the second picture?  Was trying to make a joke by way of metaphor.
