For those that have already moved on to our coaching search this offseason, Jerrod Calhoun went into New Mexico and knocked off Eric Olen and the lobos last night. Two really good teams and a very impressive win for the Aggies.
I mean, this isn't quite an apples to apples comparison seeing that GM went 13-9 the year before he took over and then 14-16 his first year in charge. I'm not saying we should hire Fee - he probably needs to cut his teeth a bit more before he gets a real shot - but comparing him to English...
A blurb about Fee from his wikipedia page. He only has one year as a head coach, but this was what he did: "He turned the Golden Knights team that had lost 3–23 in the previous season to a 32–3 record as the team won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West division and the PSAC...
He’s already done this in many roundabout ways as the sitting head coach. Would not be surprised at all to offload the blame on the university in as many ways as he can
I could get behind this as an option. Almost all of his coaching experience came at UC San Diego but he has produced really good teams and got them up to speed following the jump from D2 to D1 pretty quickly. Also, he's from Mobile so he has SEC roots at the very least
I think Schertz, Calhoun, and Skinn are quickly becoming my top 3 options in that order. After that, I think Hodgson at USF would at least be an intriguing option.
Schertz is the clear cut answer right now (whether we can poach him or not is another story). After that, we are going to be looking at a guy like Calhoun and then you start getting into the unprovens like Hodgson, Skinn, and Siddle
Oh lord, he's going to light us up for like 8 corner 3s isn't he? The way we defend, it won't matter if he takes a 5 second windup before each shot either
And just because now I'm curious and cannot help myself, I'll add a few more coaches that were discussed as possible options during last offseason and how they fit into this chart:
Coach (team)
Career Overall Record
Career Conference Record
Conf Champ Games Won
Age (Years as HC)
Ben...
Just did a bit more looking into a few other candidates that have been discussed at least in passing on here recently:
Coach (team)Career Overall RecordCareer Conference RecordConf Champ Games WonAge (Years as HC)
Josh Schertz (Saint Louis)436-125 (.777)
99-56 (.638) <- D1 only261-70 (.789)...
Schertz definitely fits the bill. He started at Lincoln Memorial (D2) and finished in 13 years with a 214-39 (.846) record in conference. Over his last 11 years there, he finished in 1st in conference 9 times and no worse than 3rd. At Indiana State, he started poorly with a 4-14 conference...
For the next coach, I’m hoping we can find someone who has out coached his peers. In other words, someone who has a very good conference record and an occasional upset. I have no problem going to the mid major level for a coach as long as they have that. If you can’t consistently beat teams at...
