They are going to have to have a president and an AD in place before any top tier candidate will take the job. No coach wants to take over a program and then become the guy his new bosses wouldn't have hired. JMM28 and billiken_roy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what that all includes or how accurate it is. We know that taxes in CA far exceed taxes in KY. Cronin is from Cincy. The Pac 12 typically is behind most of the other P6 conferences. It won't hurt L'ville to ask Cronin if he is interested. https://fanbuzz.com/college-basketball/highest-paid-college-basketball-coaches/ cronin left cincy, so I doubt its much of a factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that UNC and Duke hired assistants to replace their coaches. Indiana just hired a pro assistant. Then there are the obvious ones, where a schools steals a top coach, like Kansas did from Illinois. Mack to Louisville was an obvious one. I don’t know the ratio, but it is probably less than 50/50 obvious choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Cronin will be making more than $3.6M next year if his name is linked with the job, you can believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Pat Forde is out there pushing for Louisville to hire Scott Davenport. Davenport was a top Louisville asst back in the CUSA days with us. He has coached Bellarmine, just moved up to D-1 a few years ago to some decent success. This would be akin to Mizzou hiring Kim Anderson. Would end with the same result. How does Forde keep his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being finalized today. Louisville wants Chris Beard, Bruce Pearl, Mick Cronin, Eric Musselman Would it make sense for any of those coaches to leave?

(too lazy to look it up) Nova was 22-28 from the floor, 13-18 in the first half, 9-10 in the second. They were also 22-27 from the stripe. That was an awesome game and every bit as shocking an upset as NC State defeating Phi Slama Jama two years before. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Pearl just got his contract severely bumped up, signing a l o n g term extension, primarily due to him being on the Louisville rumor list. 'Contract for Life' is what the AD called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA first targeted Calipari and Dixon, as well. But things have worked out very well so far for UCLA and Cronin. Final Four, then a top 10 team the following year, top level recruiting class for next year. Had his 6 year $24 Million contract extended two more years, not including lots of incentives and bonuses. He has a good AD. He and his family enjoy it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is certainly an upgrade from the city of Seven Hills; I haven’t thought about Jamie Dixon in almost five years. Those Pitt teams were solid.
