The notion that the country is filled with coaches that are all pussys and are too scared to risk career suicide and take a shot at following Cal at one of the top programs in America seems ridiculous to me

Yes, we lost the best recruiting class of all time, but we had a nucleus of players left that were all top 50 recruits and more talent than over 80% of D1 even without adding a recruit.

coaches are competitors just like the players, only in addition to getting to prove their own abilities, they get paid pretty fing well too. Pastners hire struck me as laziness from an AD that was soon to retire and just didnt give a **it

Geez, guys, some of you are enough to make anybody who knows anything just STHU. It was Drew. The post I was referring to was sdd's about NOT wanting him as our next coach. If you read and believed sdd, it was almost a done deal, and he was trying to stop it. He was told the same thing I was, from a different source, so when I saw his post, that was verification for me, and I updated my site without scooping him.

They WERE negotiating contract details this morning. That means you are getting fairly close. Then something happened. I left for a few hours to actually conduct a real life, and shut off all contact to take a breather. When I returned , Parrish had just broken the news.

I am GUESSING one side or the other got cold feet from the negative press.

Stammers gonna get TKO'ed in this thread.

Step away young fella.

We also had Fred Smith and Graf poking around. Coaches gauge interest as well; not only the program.

Amazing that some here say that we cant get anyone better than JP and no one wants this job, yet yesterday GP was talking about some coaches around the country calling him asking questions about this program and Josh's future.

Scott Drew was not hirable. If you don't believe me, talk to the AD's of the other 345 program he hasn't not been offered by. Tony Barbee was also not hirable, neither was Kellogg.

In any event; coaches like Tim Floyd and Leonard Hamilton turned us down. Any coach who wanted the job, wasn't going to be any good.

Weird, so TripleA states that Memphis was negotiating with Drew. You calling him a liar?

If, what TripleA wrote was true, that ends the crazy discussion that NOBODY wanted the job.

Calkins wrote his article because he knew that Drew was coming, and he wanted to be the guy that warned us all about what a boogeyman Drew was going to be.

KE indicates that Drew was interested.

TripleA states Drew and Memphis were in the process of negotiating terms.

Yet somehow Dudley Do Right knows more than them.

Pfft.

Numerous posters on this board would have taken the job. A lot of bad coaches and at least one scumbag like Drew might have taken the job. Nobody GOOD wanted the job. You have to assume that you are not debating with posters with the IQ of a turnip. Now we are at the stage where your infantile argument is bogged down in technicalities.

I guess it makes perfect sense to you. You went on and on for a month about Iverson having tendinitis. Common sense isn't your forte.

First you say NOBODY.

Now it's NOBODY "good." I guess "good" according to you.

As for a BAD coach, you realize that next season, Drew took Baylor to the Elite Eight, right? I would love to have a coach that bad.

YOU are the one who has consistently been stating NOBODY wanted the job. Now that I have shown Drew was in the process, you move the goalpost to "Nobody Good." And YOU are accusing me in being bogged down in technicalities. Must be a bumpy ride on the turnip truck, eh?

Here is a better response.

The 3 that met with RC decided that they didn't want the job. I am sure that a lot of coaches were contacted, and/or met with RC, and decided that they didn't want the job.

I'm sure that there was interest on the part of coaches that weren't contacted. Assume that they either weren't considered to be good candidates, or didn't want the job enough to have someone call RC to gauge interest.

The story I was told by RC was Drew wanted the job but it had to be offered at that moment. RC wanted to talk to other people first so Drew withdrew from consideration. RC lied to me so many times it may or may not be true though.
