I have to say no fans want to see former alumni come back to coach more than GT.
Where do you get this? I think it's pretty common? Matt Doherty happened before Roy Williams for example.

I want Ben Howland as far away from our program as possible. Asa UCLA fan I was all in on him after those first few years, but he pretty much burned all his bridges with SoCal recruits and had zero control over his players on campus.I would like Ben Howland for the recruiting and defense aspect....but his offense is similar to Gregory's and the play style is the same. What makes you think he could be successful at GT? P.S. if he makes changes on his offensive philosophy i would be ALL for the hire.

Stephon Marbury!!
Hehehehe...
Every job that comes open we always have a large portion of fans suggest former GT players or alumni.
Some were wanting George Godsey as next HC...when it was mentioned Bryan Cook could be leaving before last season...some wanted Tevin Washington as QB Coach.
Everytime the BBall job is mentioned people always want Price and Noodles...and Kenny Anderson.
I don't dispute this. I just think it happens all over. I'm wondering how you say GT more than anywhere else.
Tom Crean has about a $12 million buyout until the end of next season. Gregg Marshall is well paid and is from Kansas, so he isn't going anywhere. I am not a fan of Pastner and I suspect he is a shady recruiter since he learned from Coach Cal.
Shaka would win the press conference. I like Archie Miller because of his bro and his dad and his ACC ties, although those aren't great reasons to hire him.
What about Richard Pitino? No one seems to be talking about him. he worked for Tom Herrion at CoC. Learned to recruit from the best in Pitino and Donavan. Bet he would love to play his dad every year.
For this potential opening I have not heard Spider Salley mentioned, but Price, Neal, Anderson, and Barry have all been mentioned. None except Neal has any HC experience.I've never seen another teams message board where every job that comes open that a former almuni or player is mentioned every time.
Admittedly, I think Jarrett Jack will be a helluva coach if he wants to be.... in like 5-10 years.
