slth contest over, carmody wins.

Craig Robinson shouldn't count IMO. Being the POTUS' bro-in-law has saved his job, he's a very special circumstance.

Also, I bet black college football coaches envy guys like Robinson & Trent Johnson. If they were football coaches both would have already received the life sentence as a NFL position coach.

MIR LOVES CRAIG! , MIR LOVES CRAIG!

Trent Johnson always gets out just in time.

I think Mark Fox has to get serious consideration, but that NCAA tourney hurts.

How do Auburn fans feel about Barbee, chings? Does he just need another recruit or two?

Fans, they don't care really, but he is feeling heat from boosters who helped build the new coliseum.  Not a SLTH because its too early and he is too terrible.

I also nominate Fran Mcaffery from Iowa.

Man I almost added him, and if fact he was the first on the list, but it just hasn't been long enough I think.   I was trying to set a base line of at least four years at the school.  I mean I am quite confident he will be there next year, along with few others.

I think the four years minimum thing is a good idea. Didn't realize Bennett had been at UVA 4 years. Man.

Fun fact about Bennett:  Indiana went after him before Crean and Bennett turned them down.

He's only been a Wake three years, but you can't ignore Bzdelik. 1-26 on the road in conference play and this SLTH quote: "We’ve lost in numerous close games. As these young men grow up, get bigger and stronger, they’re going to turn those close losses into great wins. They really are.”
Students have paid for two adds in the student paper calling for his removal.

Sure he's now in the D-1 dungeon, but Jim Wooldridge, god bless him. Has anybody made more money delivering less? UC Riverside six-year record is 70-122, best record was 14-17, finished this year at 6-25.

mccaffery is legitimately a top 10 coach in the country. took over a smoking crater of a program and has quickly rebuilt it into a team that will contend for a big ten title next year. took lehigh to the ncaa tourney. took unc greensboro to the ncaa tourney. took siena to the ncaa tourney three straight years. next year will have iowa in the ncaa tourney.

he's basically lon kruger only smarter and better.

4 years minimum is necessary. You can't be a true SLTH without the LT.

Great list Chingon.

Gotta be Ken Bone. He even had a Cartier Martin.

But he'll surely get fired this year, right? While McCaffrey will probably turn his nit appearance into a guaranteed fourth year. The pieces are in place!

[chum1]

I find it interesting that SLTH used to mean a young, up and coming mid-major coach and now it means someone who has things in common with Wooldridge at K-State.  Very egocentric.

Moos, Bone likely to meet next week

COUGARS

FROM PULLMAN — Washington State athletic director Bill Moos said on his weekly radio show Monday that he plans to meet next week with coach Ken Bone to discuss the future of the program.

Moos did not say specifically whether he's decided Bone will be retained or not. He said the two will recap the season, discuss recruiting and “chart the course” for the future of the team when they meet.

That's standard operating procedure for Moos. He meets with each coach at the end of their respective seasons to discuss the future and check in to see how they feel things are going. Those aren't conversations that happen during the season, Moos said, “unless there's a question about recruiting or scheduling. This will give us a chance to have a long visit and chart our course.”

Moos noted that last year's end-of-season meeting wound up yielding a staff shake-up, with assistant coach Jeff Hironaka being reassigned to an operations role and Ray Lopes being hired as a new assistant.

Bone said after WSU's season-ending 64-62 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 tournament that he's not concerned about his job status.

“I think we’ve done a good job and decisions will be made, whether it’s this year or next year or the following year,” said Bone, who has three years remaining on a 7-year contract. “It’s out of my control, so I’m not going to worry about things that are out of my control. Just going to keep doing the best I can.”

Bone would be owed $2.55 million if terminated this season.

I seriously doubt they would let him work for 2 weeks before firing him. WSU beat UCLA and USC to finish the regular season likely saving his job.

I don't think you understood what it originally meant. Also, everyone on ching's list has accomplished more than Jim ever did.

The only two guys on Chings list that didn't fit that criteria at their current school are Tubby & Sendek

Bennett technically came from a high major and Dawkins was an assistant.

Heath also came from a HM but his success was from a MM. Actually other than being young I'm not sure that Heath or Bennett qualified as SLTH hires for their current schools. Heath was fired and Bennett came to UVA fresh off of an NIT appearance. Both hires had some measurable risk attached.

Also why would any AD willingly bring Bennettball to their campus? That style of play is horrible for interest and attendance.

Nit-picking.  Point still stands.
