Dooley is my #1 of candidates that I think we could get. There are certainly others I would love to have (i.e. Forbes, Grant, etc) but we have to be realistic. We currently don't have an AD, that alone makes it a tough sell, and the truth is, rather we want to hear it or not, right now we are probably the worst job in the AAC. Now with a quality coach that can sure change but as of right now that is the reality. As far as Dooley I don't even really consider his first stint at ECU because the reality is it isn't super impressive. What I look at is his experience working with Bill Self for 10 years as his top assistant, his recruiting ability, and his success at a low major. My number 2 which I haven't really heard anyone discuss for whatever reason is Wes Miller. He actually coaches in a tough league and had a very good season with an RPI of 66 I believe. I think getting a guy in his prime with a chip on his shoulder and who is willing to outwork the competition is the way to go. I think Dooley or Miller would do that.

Are there other "retreads" we can get? Looking at those available the only ones that I would be impressed with is Andy Kennedy or maybe Fox from Georgia, but again, I don't think we will get those guys. By all means we should be reaching out to these guys and making them say no but I think ultimately they will. But names like Patino, JTIII, etc. I'm afraid are pipe dreams, they're not coming to ECU.
