slu72 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 To answer Gordo's question of is SLU all in, I'd say very much so. The speed at which Crews was released w/some buyout shows me they want to fill the Fetz and keep it filled. Plus that NCAA money ain't a bad carrot either. In the past, Before Majerus, we would have let the Crews era run it's course. I hope we don't go the recycle route as there is no Majerus out there. Underwood' s intriguing. Drew, Valpo for SLU? Hmmm, not feeling it. As for other schools we'll be competing against only Rutgers and UNLV seem more attractive. And if Pitino and UL part ways, I can see Pitino heading to Vegas. Hopefully, no other big name programs will be joining in the new HC lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 My hesitation about McGrath from UNC is the whole academic scandal there; I don't think the dust has even settled from that yet. Does he have any ties to it? He's been with Williams since he was a player, so it's hard to say how he'd fare out on his own. If we wind up with one of the assistants from a big-time program like that, they're going to struggle with the talent level here. So even if people think that some of the potential transfers would stay now that Crews is gone, I'm still betting we see at least 3-4 go, if not more.

TheA_Bomb Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Dane Fife or CB McGrath Dane Fife is interesting a few years HC experience at a very tough place IPFW in their first years in D1 built it from 10 wins to 18 then went to work under Izzo. Also he was a player under Bobby Knight so has some top level exposure to big time coaches. C.B. McGrath? Come on why has the dude worked as an Assistant for 13 years with the same guy? Maybe he doesn't want to be a HC or maybe he doesn't have it. I did learn one thing while reading about him UNC has a JV team that plays local DII, DIII schools the UNC Assistants rotate as HC. You can be on it 2 years then try out to be a Walk On to varsity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Tar_Heels_junior_varsity_basketball#Notable_coaches_and_alumni Stone was a Home Run Hire. Did May hire our current Baseball Coach? If so that one was good too. I'm not sold on our current Soccer Coach.

Haase and McGrath - both coaches the JV program at North Carolina under Williams, Haase has fared pretty well at UAB since he left UNC. Also both played at Kansas with Ryan Robertson, paging Troy.

Bobby Metzinger Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Stone was a Home Run Hire. Did May hire our current Baseball Coach? If so that one was good too. I'm not sold on our current Soccer Coach. Baseball HC Hendrickson was one of Levick's last (and probably best hire, as Majerus was hired by Larry Legend). McGinty was a Chris May hire.

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Coaching searches are the kinds of things you hope your team doesn't have to go through, because if you're doing a coaching change, it normally means things aren't going well. Anyway, I find coaching searches to be really interesting, so I'm kind of geeking out right now. I don't have a clear way I want us to approach this. Experienced coach, up and coming assistant, just get a guy who will make SLU basketball fun to watch again. I had a list a few weeks back that I posted. I'll review that and get an updated list when I have a little more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Brad Underwood, Bryce Drew, Chris Beard, Anthony Grant, Dana Fife would be the first 5 guys I'd call. This is a good top 5. I could probably switch out a name or two, but it wouldn't necessarily be a clear improvement, just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken75 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I was always impressed with Chris Harriman. He knows the area; seems to have been an effective recruiter; energetic; and a good coach. I believe he deserves a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MU88 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I know a candidate that has been informally contacted to gauge his interest. So, the search has begun. He is an assistant on a team that will be in the NCAAs. Known as a great recruiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure... he'd probably be too scared to venture east of foo foo Chesterfield and the walk from the parking garages would be WAY too far.
