Coaching Carousel 2021

[Husker4theSpurs]

Tim Miles's dream job was Minnesota, but I don't think he'll be up for consideration. I personally think Minnesota should go after Craig Smith. He knows the area ... he's a good coach .... he'd be a really good, sneaky get. Minnesota has a lot of potential but they probably expect a slight bit more than they should there. That being said they lose a lot of their in state talent and it especially hurts when quite a bit of it heads down to Madison, Wisconsin over the years.

The former big ten coach for Minny to make a run at would be Jim Beilien

I thought this when he was calling our game the other day. Maybe he’ll have better options than Minnesota though.

Lots of great options for Minnesota.  Craig Smith, Niko Medved, Darian DeVries...I think they could make a legit run at getting Eric Musselman away from Arkansas.  Heck, I wouldn't rule Hoiberg out even.  That's a very attractive job for a lot of reasons.

If they had Hoiberg or Musselman money, which is money to buyout and pay a high end coach, they wouldn't have hired Richard Pitino in the first place

The AD that hired Pitino resigned amid a sexual harrasment scandal.  Their current AD seems much more competent.

so...what time on Wednesday is Steve Prohm fired...and what time on Thursday is Fred Hoiberg announced as the new coach at Iowa State?

Fred is not going back to Iowa State.

First they need a new arena. "Hilton Magic" is definitely not working any more.

Jackson State and UA-Pine Bluff beg to differ.

If Miles mentions Rebecca Lobo in his podcast this week, then you'll know.

[jimmykc]

Would Steve Rushin be close enough?

Dennis Gates was an assistant at Cal during the same time period when Penn St AD Sanny Barbour was there.  I became aware of this after it was pointed out that Armon Gates seemed to go out of his way to talk to Barbour after our game at Penn St.

Might be in the minority here, but not sure it'd be a good fit. Much higher expectations at UNM than any other place he's coached. Places like that only like coaches with a "shtick" if they're winning a lot. If not, they'll turn on him quickly.

Can't believe that Shaka Smart would leave Texas for Penn State.  But if someone for Penn State says his name, I guess his name has surfaced.

I guess if I had a list I kept in my billfold that Kathy Ireland might still be on there.

Maybe be ISU will get Mcdermott?  Doesn't seem to be getting much better at Creighton. No, I don't know more than what's appeared in the press already.

Looks like at least one ISU person has the same thought: https://247sports.com/college/iowa-state/board/101486/Contents/mbb-coach-discussion-141884465/?page=2

You might want to re-read that as the context of that particular post was that their program under Prohm has reached Iowa St McDermott level of mediocrity.  Better yet, don't read that.

I've been reading their board. They seem to think it will be Hoiberg or Altman. I'm not kidding. They are setting themselves up for MASSIVE disappointment. 

[jimmykc]

Sounds more like MASS hysteria.
