If I were the new coach I would keep Davis, Williams, maybe Sherrod, the incoming class and tell everyone else to go find somewhere else to play. Then I would hit the JC ranks for size and length who can make jumpers.

This is what I’ve been saying ever since he came on the market.

Petino isn't going to ECU, all due respect.
Fck that guy. I will remove ALL of my financial backing of my Alma Mater in athletics if he was hired at ECU. Id rather lose every game like we did today against UH than have a coach with such depleted moral and ethical character at the helm and win a national championship.

If we go the assistant coaching rout he would definitely be the top candidate, probably one of the hottest assistant coaching names out there. Personally I think we should go with a proven head coach. Rumor is that Joe Dooley is the top choice, our AD is going down there this weekend to meet with him. A name that I really like that I haven't seen people mention is Nick McDevitt, head coach at UNCA. The guy has won over 20 games 3 years in a row and has found outstanding athletes there. Several have gone on to transfer to top programs but even with that turnover he has still found ways to win and not made excuses unlike our previous coach. I also think we would be foolish if we didn't reach out to Earl Grant at Charleston. He inherited a mess there after the previous coaches exit but has done well these last couple of years and has them poised to make a tourney run this year.

I can see the Dirty Sanchez jokes now.
Probably going to be a good coach some day. We need one that has already proven he is one now. Not on board with ANY assistant currently. I want a proven..winning HC at some level.

I think ECU is best off getting a name coach that is not at a major program for one reason or another and taking a chance on him, similar to what UH did with Sampson.
It's a bit of a gamble, but ECU has zero basketball equity/prestige. A name coach can do wonders with that. The kids go to play for the coach, not the program in instances like that. Hiring a young and up and comer is dumb for them.
a. he may suck and they remain in obscurity
b. if he's worth a darn, he's gone on the first train out of dodge
I think they need an older, name coach who could be at a big program, but isn't for various reasons.

I personally don't mind an up and comer but you're right there is risk, just as their is risk with hiring an assistant or going for the big name retread route like you suggest. I do think one reason why Joe Dooley is reportedly one of our top choices is he is in the tweener stage. Early 50's so he is not exactly a young up and comer but still young enough with fire and energy. The other nice thing is he reportedly has family in the area and potentially wouldn't be looking at jumping ship if he has success. While I like the idea of Dooley I still would probably have Earl Grant (coach at Charleston) above him (I think he faces tougher competition and also has worked as an assistant for Greg Marshall). I really like Steve Forbes at ETSU but he reportedly has a $500,000 buyout and I'm thinking he's holding out for a bigger job.
The only realistic retreads I could think we would have a shot with off the top of my head are Andy Kennedy, Mark Gottfried, Seth Greenberg and Larry Eustachy. I'm not sure though any of these guys would have super name recognition though like a Kelvin Sampson.

Gottfried initially did great at State. The last couple of seasons were really disappointing though, no doubt he can recruit. Of the retreads the one that would intrigue me is Kennedy. Other than this year he had winning seasons for something like 11 straight years at Ole Miss, which is a tough place to win at but he has some baggage. All that being said, I personally would prefer an up and comer and maybe even a top assistant coach then a retread. I think Lebo just burned that bridge for me, I want to get a coach with some energy and fire in them which has clearly been lacking at ECU for far too long.
I think a lot of times coaches coming from bigger schools that come to ECU focus on what they don't have (compared to what they use to have) instead of just rolling up the sleeves and coaching. It seemed like Lebo would always have an excuse for why he couldn't succeed even though schools with a tenth of our budget have had success.
