Chris Mack?

wetwillie · « **Reply #202 on:** January 25, 2022, 04:52:05 PM »

I’d rather give it to someone not recently fired for failing at their job but we could probably do worse

MakeItRain · « **Reply #203 on:** January 25, 2022, 05:19:24 PM »

Eh, no thanks. I realize that most of the names were throwing out are successes at mid majors at a much smaller scale than Mack was at Xavier, but those other guys haven't been proven losers at top 10ish program. Bear in mind not only has be been crap, but he also is facing sanctions for cheating at Louisville. He was cheating but still losing.

when did he do all of this losing other than the last three weeks? not saying i would want him, and i haven't followed his time at louisville closely, but his record doesn't scream "crap" to me

2018–19   Louisville   20–14   10–8   T–6th   NCAA Division I Round of 64
2019–20   Louisville   24–7   15–5   T–2nd   NCAA Cancelled
2020–21   Louisville   13–7   8–5   7th
2021–22   Louisville   11–9   5–5

He’s run a blue blood program into the ground, you don’t get to do that and keep your job. Would have missed NCAA’s in back to back years which would have been first time in two decades it happened at UL.

This is their worst stretch in 20 years when they had to run a like 80 year old Denny Crum out of the job. They're a blue blood that doesn't want to become just any other program. He'd probably become a SLTH here but we have one of those now, I'd rather see us do something different.

Louisville is not a blue blood lmao.

How much would the Miller duo cost?

Either you became familiar with Louisville in 2012 or you have a very short list of blue bloods. They have 40 conference championships, 43 tournament appearances, 10 final fours, and 3 National Championships. Almost all of that has been since 1980. There aren't 5 more accomplished programs in our lifetime.

Sean Miller is the answer

Just keep oscar, who cares

Cire · « **Reply #212 on:** January 26, 2022, 08:48:12 AM »

I just mean that sean miller is the closest "Huggins type" hire there is. And you'd think he'd be hungry to do well and move on to a better job.

i care because i enjoy being excited about basketball season. I'm sure you'll say "so then just be excited for basketball season who cares?" but for me personally its really hard to get excited about a team that is rarely competitive. sure they may have the occassional big game against a good team...that's basically what has kept oscar employed for the last 6 years, but when you have a team that consistently is not even in the discussion for making the NCAA its hard to be excited about that.

You should keep oscar if only because it makes KU fans' blood boil to see him stomping, squeaking, and playing defense on the court.

Is there a experienced hs coach in Kansas that knows the state and can coach them up? We should hire him.

Total Spitballing-no particular order:

Andy Kennedy - UAB
Sean Miller - Not Coaching
Archie Miller - Not Coaching
Kevin Kruger - UNLV
Chris Jans - New Mexico State
Keith Smart - Asst Coach Arkansas
John Jakus - Asst Coach Baylor
Steve Forbes - Wake Forest

Again, total spitballing so don't @me about how some guys would never even consider the job unless an amazing offer was made. That's understood

wetwillie · « **Reply #218 on:** February 01, 2022, 01:30:13 PM »

List needs KT Turner

MakeItRain · « **Reply #219 on:** February 01, 2022, 04:09:32 PM »

That list sucks. If they hired John Jakus instead of Jerome Tang we riot.

Very low mbbhciq but I just want someone who’s not a total nerd and doesn’t make excuses every time something doesn’t go their way. Winning some games would be nice as well.

Well we have a total nerd that makes excuses. We need another dirty mofo like Huggins to stay for a hot second but leave a long lasting impact

I am always wary of lifetime assistant coaches. I suppose there can always be another Roy Williams out there.
