2015 Coaching Changes Tracker

Yeah I saw Turners name mentioned. If for some crazy reason it his him...then we will know the whole wife thing was BS...he played us for the raise at UCI...and then took the bigger cash at vcu. Ahole.

He is more connected to SoVa than NoVa if we're being honest. That would be a hilarious and egregious move if true. I would never forgive him if it happened.

ditto this. the vcu hate might hit an apex.

SIU-Edwardsville hired Jon Harris, previously an assistant at Cal.

According the RamNation posters, Rhoades was responsible for everything that was good about vcu basketball the last six years. Turns out Shaka was just a figurehead. When Rhoades left, it exposed what a poor Xs and Os coach Shaka really is. Shaka was a false god. Rhoades is their real god. This all happened for the best. Rhoades will not only keep all the current players but all the commitments. NC banners will be hanging from the rafters of the Siegel Rhoades Center soon.

The rams are like sheep.

On another note - they all cant get in front of themselves fast enough to say how good looking Grant is. LOL - it is like someone got in their head. And is messing with them.

Making fun of vcu is so easy. There is just so much to work with. It's almost not fun...almost.

From their boards:

"
Mistachill said: ↑
Grant is a great choice...for somebody else. There's a difference between wanting a job and wanting a soft landing spot after getting fired. I would wonder about Grant's motivation.

But if he's interested it is flattering.

Can you say Paul Hewitt.

"

It is as if we were there.

No real surprise there.

Having been in the HC search twice, it is amazing how little tid bits here and there can just stir the pot when you are going crazy.......

Rhodes will NOT be leaving Rice

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

@GoodmanESPN: Rice coach Mike Rhoades is out of the mix at vcu, source told ESPN. Rhoades is a former Shaka Smart assistant at vcu...

Maybe the AD issue is causing problems...

Funny you say that. My source on the situation, who has been pretty good says their AD has offered "less than expected" for the position, thinking the assistants want to come back just "because."

LOL the reality is...McLaughlin knows the purse strings have to be reigned in...no matter what he says. Anthony Grant is the "ace in the hole" right now....

And their board is crashing as we speak....lol.

 

[EXpatriot13]

Were any of Coach L's assistants (past and present in 2011) ready to take on our job like Shaka's assistants seem to be with vcu, now?

 

[Bricker]

In fairness, Grant is a billion times better than Hewitt. The big negative is he has to follow Smart's act... not sure I'd want to be the guy to attempt that.

 

[99 Patriot]

Yeah, while we know the TOC/OCM soap opera had its issues, it sure seems the Shaka exit has more to it as well. Him using terms like, "no brainer" in his press conference tells me he's trying to send a message to someone back in Richmond. It doesn't surprise me if the closest roots to his tree don't want to replace him.

Please let them decide to hire the first openly gay coach, or maybe the first woman D1 Coach, or make some other PC, trendy hire.
