Absolutely!!!

His health is the most important aspect of his life and he needs to take care.

Thank you Coach G for directing us thru the four year transition period and helping us get on the D1 map.

Tarleton Fans:
Who would you like to see replace BCG?

1. Glynn Cyprien
2. Joseph Jones
3. Jason Hooten
4. Other

Marr Braeuer SFA HC would be high on my list.

This is very sad. He once said he’d rather die on the court than not coach, so he must be in bad shape.

I hope that he regains his health and is able to return at some point. Maybe a lower-stress JUCO position would be the way to go?

As much as I'd like to see Joseph Jones get his chance as HC, I'm leaning option #4 myself. A thorough search needs to be done to make sure we don't miss out on a potential splash hire.

Looks like SFA has got a tiger by the tail with Matt Braeuer, and they're not gonna let it go. However, figuring out a way to take their highly coveted Football OC AND Basketball HC would be a total checkmate chess move by Tarleton

4! There’s no one in this building that can beat 9 win Utah Tech. Only a 7 win team without Tarleton on their schedule. It’s just painful.
W’ell probably end up hiring an assistant from Cameron or some such.

Utah Tech has won 17 games.

Hope BCG’s health improves. Best wishes to him. On his replacement, I would be ok with 2 or 4. No to 1 & 3. I would guess they go with 4 but who?

Early name being thrown around is Donnie Tyndall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Tyndall

Interesting, his NCAA sanction time will have expired. In today's world I don't think his history will matter much. He has a good record and seems Tarleton wants to continue a defensive style of play.

This would be a hard no for me.

Why would you want someone known for breaking the rules and being caught doing so (and a 10-year ban is HUGE)...means there was a LOT going on behind the scenes that probably didn't all come to light. I'd say NO on this one.

Not only that but the landscape of college athletics has changed so much that it would even be a tall task for John Wooden's zombie to have any success.

And we are now officially looking for a new men’s basketball head coach.

BRING BACK JASON HOOTEN!

We've got UTEP (and former ACU) HC Joe Golding picking up some steam as a possible replacement. Golding cites BCG as one of his most influential mentors and runs a similar "defense-first" type of program. Hasn't been great at UTEP, but had some success at ACU.

I really like the resume of Braeuer as he was with McCasland at both North Texas and Tech. He has high Mid Major experience as well as big boy basketball. He has some JuCo experience as well. He also is young and will not be a retread.

So I’m fine if our next coach isn’t Braeuer, but I would like to see somebody with his type of resume.

I think there is a very good chance Jason Hooten is back in the Ville to interview as soon as nmsu season is over. He understandably does not appear to be happy there, and for whatever reason, hasn't been able to make it work.
