News Yahoo Reports Jay Larranaga is a Candidate for Head Coach

[Dawgs99]

You have to think we don't have the cash to pay Jay...if hes the lead asst with the Celtics he must be getting paid pretty well. Maybe Angel and Brad have more cash than we think? big balls Brad is the man.

 

[GMUgemini]

Jay would be a great hire, but I just don't see him wanting to come to George Mason and living under his Dad's shadow - hope I'm wrong.

I would take Cherry over Caputo. Caputo has been under one coach his whole career while Cherry has learned from a number of different coaches including playing for the best. Plus, Cherry has the head coaching experience that Caputo doesn't. Maybe we get Cherry and Caputo goes to High Point?

The article said his reps put us on the radar back in January. So I'm guessing he's at least interested.

Pretty much confirming someone else's post that Jay L doesn't want to coach college

 

[wijg]

Nothing against Jay, I worry that might be clouded by emotion too much to make a good decision..., but I started to really like the Howland theory that Jim had suggested. Am I crazy to like that one, even possibly more that Jay?

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Oh come now, like Yahoo has any insight into what we're doing. They looked on the message board, saw Jay Larranaga mentioned and repeated it - then the WaPo repeated that.

I'm the original source on the Jay Larranaga discussion and I have no f'n clue or insight. Don't fall for the click bait.

 

[GMUSig03]

Yes I am - f*ck me.

Possibly the biggest rookie poster mistake ever made by such an experienced poster. Up there with the Weber time out, Lett fumble (both the Beebe strip and the missed fg attempt), etc.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I fail to believe L Jr. would coach college when he could be coaching the Knicks or somebody in a year.

Caputo, Cherry, hope they at least get looks.

Yea and with the way the Celts are playing recently in a total rebuilding year that chance could come after this season.

 

[KAOriginal]

Here in the Boston suburb of Maine...sports radio, etc is all over this.

But it has been said on the air, Jay has no interest in college coaching.

 

[Junkees9]

I hope they have Hurley of Buffalo on the list.

 

[Haxormax]

HE IS LYING.

but I have a source* that says we're getting coach K!!!

*source is once again my cat, he wasn't totally wrong about Hewitt getting fired, so it's ~reliable info.

Gotta think that Hurley would be a target of a power conference school if a job opens up. On the off-chance he got our job, I can't imagine it being more than a stop-over for him.

If he bounces from Mason after 3 or 4 years, that means he has turned Mason around, so theres that. Hopefully whoever comes turns the program around, and can stay a while.
