Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[Panjandrum]

I hope it's due to oscar understanding what Brook's market value is and Brooks wanting to make more than the student team managers.

I'm assuming it's one of two things.

1) oscar gave a flippant answer to Robinett because he simply doesn't care and just wanted to say something
2) Currie understands what Brook's market value is and is saying, "I'm not paying some guy from SHS $180k a year," or whatever the number may be.

I'm not on team buthurt or team burnitdown, but if we fail to land our 14th option for AC and add in the shady Gray thing, I might be changing my uni to team burnitdown.  This is redic!

3) Brooks has some more rogue recruiting to do.

4) Brooks loves his current job

I'm actually at the point where I am tired of being angry about this.  I am interested to see what Brooks can do.


Also, I really want to believe _FAN's #3, but I am starting to learn my lesson after the last month or so.

He's still employed as an NCAA coach.

Which I guess makes him a bit unique for us.

Just a little perspective...I understand feeling underwhelmed by the current rumored hire as well as others rumored to be in talks. However, if you think about it, all the hotshot recruiters out there had to get their starts somewhere. Someone had to give them a chance to prove themselves. I for one would like to just wait and see how this staff will do before judging too harshly.

The hot shot recruiters out there started by being linked to an AAU program or other name coach/recruiter.  It's a who-you-know biz.

I'm surprised and ever so slightly impressed that Weber didn't bring in Jay Price as one of his assistant coaches, particularly given the misses.  That guy is shitty.  Can only be a positive for KSU that Weber finally cut him loose no matter who he ends up hiring instead.  Not-Jay-Price will always be far superior to Jay Price. 

Price is coming on as DOBO, Weber will announce the staff when everybody is in place, I would assume Alvin Brooks III was offered yesterday and accepted, have no idea who the last ast. will be.

Heard that isn't for sure. Heard Price is still debating on whether to take the DOBO position. Is quite the demotion afterall. Coaches and their egos ya know. Is it even remotely possible that he'd be Asst. #3?

After having his first two options bail out after a supposed agreement, he's probably not going to tell anybody its done til the ink is dry.

@GoodmanCBS Boom, Maligi is a HUGE hire for Brown. Absolutely HUGE.

*sigh*

[LickNeckey]

SMU is straight clowning us.

But I bet they care less about there student athletes. #moralhighground

[wetwillie]

Goodman just destroyed their AD on twitter for weeks about how much of a joke the coaching search was becoming. Now they have a monster recruiting staff and a legendary nba coach.

Goodman breaks a lot of stories but is kind of a dumbass most of the time.

And then in two years, we could have handed the reigns to Pearl!

Seriously, how fun would that have been?!!!!!

No. But that is still up in the air. I'm not sure if SMU is insisting Jank be HCIW or what. Strange deal.

[michigancat]

never mind. Jank to SMU is Goodman-official.

[steve dave]

I would definitely not take Jank as HCIW.  I would not even be happy with him as assistant coach in residency.
