Current D1 coaches
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cur...ll_coaches
Let me start this post by saying that I will support the current coach until he is no longer our coach. But in light of last night’s post game comments…well, let’s just say I am more willing to discuss this than I have been in the past.
So with that said...here are a few names that were of interest to me as long as we are just talking. They are in no particular order.
1. Bruce Pearl. He has the charisma no doubt. He has the fire I like to see in a coach. However, he has a troubled past with the NCAA. Memphis has been hit twice...just can't take it again. I know he is a favorite, but I take a pass.
2. Bobby Hurley. Again, I admire his fire. But the rest of it is personal. I am a NC native and in NC you are raised to typically be a UNC or Duke fan. So....I hate him. I guess you can figure out my raising. Sorry tigerscane.
3. Archie Miller. Seems like he is building something special at Dayton and has a big upside. Would not mind this at all.
4. Dan Majerle. He is new to the coaching thing for the most part. But he was a solid NBA player. Not sure if he can recruit? So, you would have to bring in nice assistant coaches around him. He is my out of left field pick. Why not?
5. Steve Wojciechowski. See Bobby Hurley above...but I hate wojo less than Hurley.
6. Richard Pitino. Has had some success and like flounder...he is a legacy.
7. Bryce Drew. Probably would not leave his home. But it would be cool to see if he could bring some of that past lighting with him.
8. Shaka Smart. Hands down, this is the guy I would love to see here. I could see some classic match-ups between him and Kevin Ollie. I think he is the real deal.
9. Gregg Marshall. Another great choice. Don't know if we would be what he is looking for. But, instant credibility.
Well that is my ramblings for tonight. Have a good time picking it apart. Later Tiger Fans...
