IF Pastner is fired, who would be a good hire to replace him?

[kg01]

You can eviscerate me for not doing one this go around.

That said, miss me with the retreads.

Alford & Sendek & Turgeon & Mike Anderson. Holy ****.

At least he didn't list Noodles Neal.

Not doing one?

Agree on retreads tho

 

[Peacone36]

Here are some candidates I think would be good.
Mark Turgeon
Mike Anderson
Andy Kennedy
Dusty May
Scott Pera
Eric Konkol

Good list to throw away with the exception of Kennedy. He might be the most undervalued coach ever. Effing guy wins games.

Grant McCasland
Pat Kelsey
Larry Kristowiak
Casey Alexander
Bob Ritchie

Unfortunately, our best chance to land a huge victory was hired by Mizzou last year and who he brought with him could have resulted in an empire.

If you want more of the same, hire a dub like Turgeon. At some point, the fans of this program have to cease coveting coaches that other programs are dying to be rid of

OTHER NAMES I'VE ADDED TO MY LIST
SCOTT DAVENPORT
ROD BARNES
ROB LANIER
ANTHONY GRANT
CHRIS MACK
STEVE ALFORD
RON HUNTER
BRIAN DUTCHER
HERB SENDEK
JOHNNY DAWKINS

You have to….no to do many. Lanier, yes. Grant, maybe. The rest are either mediocre or don’t fit

 

[lv20gt]

John Beilein, I know he’s older and got tired of the cheating going on in cbb but he’s a great teacher of the game. At Michigan he found underrated pgs and turned them into nba picks.
2nd choice Jonas Hayes, either one would be a major major upgrade than what we have now!!!

Beilein absolutely, but Hayes's experience as head coach is measured in months and is currently 9-12 and (2-7) at State.

BetMGM (degenerate gamblers!! ) also likes Ron Hunter, but I think he’s out of eligible kids

This must be rough on a coach to hear stuff like this, however,
he has comfort in 2.5 mil per year.

AC garbage this up so much I don’t even know what meant.

it’s a bad list

 

[Connell62]

This thread has delivered from the start....

I’ll renounce my fandom if any of these names become GT’s next coach…damn

 

[leatherneckjacket]

Hire a younger coach from a lower level and then bring in a couple of former head coaches as assistants.

 

[Peacone36]

If we're willing to do this, and we're probably not, I'd go hire Pitino first.

Or Beard

 

[gte447f]

You're a bot, right? That's the only explanation.

Can the devs do something?

Take it easy on him. He’s a teenager, so much less developed than a Russian bot. Oh, I kid, I kid. TheDanielHordShow is a great and passionate fan, and we’re lucky to have him onboard.

 

[Jim Prather]

LOL. There probably are Russian bots older than him though

 

[Peacone36]

For the record, I’d offer Beard 3MM a year from the jump. I don’t GAF……I want to win. Y’all can judge me. Go ahead

 

[ESPNjacket]

Just don't go with Dave Bliss. That might be a bridge too far.

 

[Peacone36]

I mean…cmon. Obviously

 

[Connell62]

Thing is, we all know GT wouldn’t offer him just based on the optics of his situation. I’d be surprised if they even reached out. We do dumb **** often.

 

[travgt01]

I have been ready to say goodbye to Pastner for a while. However, in this NIL era idk if any coach we can afford can change GT sports. It's all about NIL money now. It's spend to win and we are broke.

Partly true. Kentucky ain’t winning **** and you know they spend more than anyone.

 

[AUFC]

Partly true. Kentucky ain’t winning **** and you know they spend more than anyone.

They are also historically dropping their money on high potential 1&D Freshmen whose college careers are more up in the air. Dropping bags on a proven talent like Nijel Pack to get a surefire double digit scorer is a big difference.

 

[Ramble1885]

I mean…cmon. Obviously

I’m 16 and EVEN I know about that Baylor scandal.

 

[Ramble1885]

For the record, I’d offer Beard 3MM a year from the jump. I don’t GAF……I want to win. Y’all can judge me. Go ahead

I wanna win but after the Ron Bell bs you know the NCAA will keep us under a microscope if we Hire Beard.

 

[Ramble1885]

I love how this thread is me getting roasted lol.

but it’s all good. most of y’all are older than me and we have our differences in opinion. What we all can agree on is that WE WANT WINNING BASKETBALL!
