Yep!!!

All negative from the national Media regarding the AAC until there is a coaching position open... Then the AAC is the first place to look for replenishments, and rightfully so, the only former AAC coach that failed is Herman at "Toxic" UT-Austen

The jury is still out on Collins at GT.

His large buyout DROPS starting tomorrow (April 1, 2021) so look for UT to make a move soon.

I believe he'll do well, he has fertile recruiting grounds connections

Am I alone in thinking it will be a very long time before the Horns hire another UH coach?

Nope.

Normally wouldn't say this but I think there's a less than 5% chance Sampson leaves

USFFan

That's the right hire. Well done by Texas.

Definitely makes sense. That should work out well for Texas.

Well, like I said, I didn't think it would ever get down to Sampson, anyway. I hope he stays at Houston as long as he wants, and is successful.

This league is more fun the more good teams we have.

I totally agree with you on that. Even though Memphis came up short against Houston, l was completely engaged in the conference race. My respect for the COOGS grew so much that I've found it to be very easy to root for them.

Coach Sampson to UNC? Isn’t he from NC

That was too easy.

Honestly I think UNC is the only college job he would leave for, but I don't see them paying the $12MM+ buyout for a 65 year old coach.

Odds are it will be Wes Miller, unless they land a big fish to come back from the NBA, like a Billy Donovan.

Agreed. UNC is and has been the only job I think he'd leave us for but I'm not sure the interest will be there on their end.

UNC just had their 70 yr old coach retire (many said he should have done that a few years ago)....I don't see UNC going after a 65 yr old coach to replace him.

Donovan could be interesting....Brad Stevens might be an easier get...as he is "only" making about $3.7 Million coaching the Celtics...who haven't been to pleased with their production of late.

The argyle wearing, cabernet sipping, gouda eating crowd in Chapel Hill think they're too good for Kelvin. He's from the poorest part of our state.
