2015 Coaching Changes Tracker

It will be ironic if Smart leaves 4 years after taking vcu to the Final Four, since they constantly slam us for Larranaga leaving 5 years after our Final Four run.

BREAKING: Chris Mullin will hire Iowa State's Matt Abdemassih at St. John's as an assistant, source told @CBSSports. Story coming. #SJUBB

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Chris Mullin strikes me as a really risky hire.

 

[Walter]

UT is paying Barnes $2.25M and giving him a six year contract. I guess he really never was coming here.

At first I thought they would be able to get a fired coach on the cheap. Maybe UT's AD used FUTOC Consulting.

Another mid major wraps up their coach.

Northern Iowa's Ben Jacobson told ESPN has signed a new 10-year deal. Has done a terrific job at UNI.

The Valley is a great basketball conference, especially at the top. Those towns love their hoops teams and, often, are the only show in town. A good life.

#Texas search firm gauges interest of #Celtics coach Brad Stevens, but focus still on Shaka Smart ($).

Liberty is re-hiring Ritchie McKay, sources confirmed to ESPN. Amazing.

 

[Walter]

Dude leaves Liberty after two years to become an assistant then they hire him back. Makes no sense to me. He was good those two years because he had Seth.

Heard Pat Forde say on the radio that Gregg Marshall and Texas' AD didn't see eye to eye and that is why Marshall is focusing on Alabama over Texas, while Texas' primary focus/interest is Shaka Smart.

Please Please Please Please Please Please baby Jesus.

 

[Walter]

A dick for an AD will likely turn off Shaka too.

It's been probably two years since I've peaked at it, but now that I care about Mason hoops again I took a look at the vcu site. Pure panic over there. Crack open a beer and head over there for some entertaining reading.

The sources said a five-year deal worth roughly $14 million was on the table for Smart, who has been the primary focus of Texas' search.

Smart, 37, earned $1.5 million last season at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he's taken the Rams to five straight NCAA Tournaments in six seasons as a head coach.

UT has employed the search firm Korn/Ferry International to assist in finding a replacement for Rick Barnes, who was fired last weekend after 17 seasons at Texas.

First of all, Shaka isn't going to Texas. No gloating until the Florida job opens up. Still a lot of dominoes to fall this month.

Second, P8, please don't rip off their ripped-off song and post it here. Now we have to fumigate the whole damn board.

This a bit of reverse psychology?
