What’s next, Jared Fogle as head of sports nutrition for MBB?

Rick Pitino as concierge of any Italian restaurant on the Hill.  Some middle aged woman is there to abide, like in Louisville.

Channel ## is there to tell you how great his Kentucky teams were 30 years ago!!!

Only the Mens & Womens BB team get free Subway.  Everyone else has to pay for it.

We'll finally bring back the football program with Jerry Sandusky as Head Coach.

Subway on campus was closed over winter break. (But it may just be due to renovations).

FWIW, my putting every name on the list is not a validation of a given suggestion as a good idea. There are some very, very bad ideas on that list, and some names that are just not realistic at all.

But a lot of really good ones, too.

Let me know if I missed any or if you have another suggestion to add.

Yeah that's the equivalent of the no bad ideas white board brain storm session.

Not that my opinion matters but I'll go ahead and make first cut of names I think we can all agree aren't realistically in play. (Don't care if it's irrational, I can dream on Jay Wright.)

Dan Muller did terribly at his alma mater and I am not sure he has an interest in coaching again. 

Bryan Mullins is closer to being fired at SIUc than he is to moving onto a bigger job. That won't stop his dad from promising recruiting pipelines from his marginal AAU program to anyone that hires him, though!

Mick will be very difficult if not near unrealistic to land, and WW probably in the same boat.

If I am going just off that list I think...

 

Home run - Porter, Mack.

Realistic and/or solid hire - Drew, Wardle, Schertz, Holtmann, McCollum, Devries, Henderson, Byington

Don't think they're going anywhere/unrealistic- Beilein, Brey, Wright, Turgeon, Kelsey

Need to prove more - Wicks, Kerns, McMillan, Simon, Morrell, Lutz

Retread no thanks - Hurley, Enfield, 

No thanks on any of the other NBA assistants. SLU isn't hiring a current college assistant either.

👨🏼‍⚖️ Agreed. Hurley is going elsewhere but I won't rule out Enfield as an actual possibility right now. I'm close to ruling out assistants but I'll keep Smith and Carrawell as they are currently at "private universities"

  •  

I think you're right on the Enfield thing. He feels too Travis Ford-y to me, personally. 

I also am not high on DeVries from Drake. I think hes #3 of the MVC coaches. He hasn't done much without his kid and a bunch of 23-26 year olds on his roster. 
 

A lot of this will depend on what all opens up as well. If Louisville, tOSU, Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, etc. open up it will send a lot of spots spinning.

Beilein is an interesting name to throw in there given his success at the collegiate level and his ties to St. Louis but he’s 71. We need someone who has the ability to coach here for the next 15 years. Beilein will be running for POTUS in 5 years.

Hold everything, for those not aware, the Bills just thumped LaSalle on their HOME COURT!
