The Search

[kg01]

Maybe Governor Deal should have signed that "religious freedom" bill after all.

Now that's funny.

You keep Capel warm until papers are signed. You get background things done so you can sign papers when you get deal.

Maybe Saint Bryce wouldn't allow a background check. With a spotless character like his, a background check is a slap in the face, no?

Did i lay the sarcasm on thick enough?

Another thing to keep in mind was that there were two Valpo tweets already on Saturday downplaying agreement. We should have firmed up commitment or gone to Capel on Sat, if he really were our #2.

OK - So who are the viable candidates now???

Greattt question.

Mike Lonergan is a great candidate but he has ties to DC area being from there.

Amaker at Harvard has been my number 1. He can recruit to high academics. Most of the others have shown that ability.

We should've kept Gregory at this point! Our roster is going to be horrible no matter who the coach is next season.

It's been stated that he turned down overtures from us, Vandy and Stan.

Gotta get Keatts or Rice at this point.

Amist all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have not heard the possibility that Drew inquired about the possibility of academic exceptions and didn't like what he heard.

With all due respect to Glenn and Bigdaddy, we don't have the whole story and calls for Mbob's head are stupid at this point.

King rice is 79-85. Good lord, id rather take my chances on Larranaga.

Me too, but he likely won't be available until late May. He also could be a candidate for NBA jobs.

Maybe you didn't here that because it didn't happen?

I am down with larranaga myself. Give him 3 to 4 years. There aren't many good options out there but he could be great.

 

[MTrain94]

I said Lonegran to throw out a name but MBob can still make a good hire if he does not panic. Embarrassing but we can still have a good hire.

 

[JacketFromUGA]

We UNLV now boys.

We wish

 

[Tech93]

The whole search seems disorganized. Didn't MBob have feelers out months ago? He knew he was going to most likely be faced with firing CBG...this whole thing is making me lose complete confidence of GTAA and I have been a loyal supporter for years. Sounds like we have no leadership at GT amongst the "high level" managers.

 

[Campbeae]

Nees to find a young coach with little resume, give him 1m per year for 6 years with modest buyout, tell him you got 4 years if in the first 3 you get us to NCAAs then money rolls off you get a bump in money, but what we really need him to do is bust his *** recruiting this state and build our roster. The one area Vanderbilt had a clear advantage on the court was current returning roster, GT is a rebuild, Vandy is not

 

[smokey_wasp]

Not likely to see any names popping up tonight with all eyes on the title game. Is everyone still in Houston? Maybe MBob can talk to a few guys. I'm thinking Kelsey or Keatts emerge, but Id rather see something out of left field at this point.
