The coaching carousel

[jimmykc]

That time of year again, folks. Let's crank up the old carousel and try not to get dizzy. Ron "Fang" Mitchell is out at Coppin State. So long to one of the best nicknames in the coaching ranks.

With a nickname like that, he won't be out of work long.

Also, looks like Drexel has fired Bruiser Flint.

Well, he was let go in 2014. It's possible Jimmy REALLY hasn't moved on from our NCAA tourney run.

Hard to process that, Jimmy.  I remember Fang well from the Old Ameritas Classic days.  Good guy.

Wow, I had Fang mixed up with Bruiser. Sort of indicates how much the nickname influences the fame. Or maybe I was still dizzy from the darn merry go round ride. Jimmy (the Geek).

I wonder if that was in Smith's plan When he left here, or should I say Daddy's plans.

Tarin Smith is at Duquesne.

Well would still like to hear from Smith's dad about it!

So far this thread seems to have us all vertiginous. And still no word from Pitino pere.

Feel bad for him.  Tough situation.

 

Gotta think Sanders is considering a transfer too...

And another twig falls from the Bob Knight coaching tree: Jim Crews out as coach of the St. Louis Billikens.

I thought I heard Central Florida fired their coach as well?

I believe Scott Frost will be coaching both football & hoops at UCF.

 

 

 

 

 

*He probably could.

Hmmm.  I know he knows football for sure.  Not sure about his hoops acumen.

Scott Frost is basically Captain America. He could do it all. I'm sure of it.

TCU, The Penn State of the Big 12 basketball jobs, is open. http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2016/03/13/report-tcu-fires-basketball-coach-trent-johnson

Murry Bartow was fired from East Tennessee State.  I wonder if he is the son of Gene Bartow. 

 

Also heard that Tulane coach Ed Conroy may have been fired as well.

Nebraska was the Nebraska of Big 12 basketball jobs until we joined the Big 10.
