2019 NCAA Coaching Carousel Thread

[sanguinetti]

Just in the region I would point to Arkansas, Mizzou, Colorado, ok state, and Memphis... All in a hole.

That being said... I expect OSU to be really tough next season.

i lived in CO for 20+ years and still have friends there.....CU has a nice, young nucleus....i think they are pretty good next year. and as lousy as the Pac is....and both Zona and UCLA in bad shape....i could see CU take a big step forward in the conf.

i was kind of a Mike Anderson fan over the years....but like others said....he didn't do much at Arkansas. Arkansas football and hoops in a bad way, really.

Five potential options to be Alabama's next men's basketball coach
https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.co...abamas-next-mens-basketball-coach/3275380002/

They list:

• Thad Matta, former Ohio State HC
• Chris Beard, Texas Tech HC
• Gregg Marshall, Wichita State HC
• Mick Cronin, Cincinnati HC
• John Brannen, Northern Kentucky HC

Arkansas Tidbit: Mike Anderson and Lou Holtz are the only two coaches ever fired in football or basketball at Arkansas without a single losing season.

I thought Brent had one or two losing seasons?

Brent?

I’ll assume you’re referring to Bret Bielema, & yes, he did have 2 losing seasons, thus disqualifying him from that tidbit. Maybe you misread it?

 

[inoref]

yep, misread

 

[vbdad]

Not sure how interested Beard, Marshall, or Cronin would be. Other two probably would be though.

Has Bama ever been good at hoops for any kind of extended period of time?

Wimp Sanderson had them good for several years. It was a long time ago

FWIW, I was curious about the 2019 coaching turnover rate in the Power-5 conferences. So here goes.

Teams .. Conference .. Coaching Changes
15 .... ACC .... 0
14 .... B10 .... 1 (Nebraska)
10 .... B12 .... 0
12 .... PAC .... 3 (UCLA; Cal; Washington State)
14 .... SEC .... 4 (Arkansas; Alabama; aTm; Vandy)

65 .... P-5 .... 8

Did I miss anybody?

Note: Notre Dame is a full ACC participant in Basketball.

Now that you mention it, I was not even sure which teams are in the Big East. I had to look it up. As best as I can determine, none of the 10 teams in the Big East are looking for a new head coach.

Houston Chronicle:
UH, men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson closing in on new deal

https://www.chron.com/sports/cougars/article/UH-Kelvin-Sampson-closing-in-new-deal-13734805.php#next

The University of Houston and men’s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson are closing in on a new contract that could be announced Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle has learned.

Representatives from both sides are reviewing details of the deal that would keep the 63-year-old Sampson at the school. UH made a six-year, $18 million offer to Sampson last week, which would put him among the top 21 highest paid coaches in the nation.

Under Sampson, UH went 33-4 this season, won the American Athletic Conference regular season title and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984.

They're a tweener. A loaded mid-major, but a very weak P5.

 

[WTSooner]

Great news on Kelvin and UH. I think he is a good fit there.

I hope whatever deal he signs puts his salary ahead of Gregg Marshall's. Marshall is slightly over $3M/year because WSU was so desperate to keep him a while back when some P5 schools were interested. Not saying Marshall can't coach, but his track record pales in comparison to Kelvin's.

they have been one of the best conf in the country the since the new Big east formed

conf rankings of 4, 3, 4, 3, 2nd last year and 5th this year ..

ncaa bids 4, 6, 5, 7, 6, and 4 in a 10 team league

a little more than a mid major ...

Exactly. That's why I said a loaded mid-major/tweener.

good for Kelvin, he will turn 64 at the start of next season, has a good thing going at UH, enjoy the final years of your career instead of the stress of another rebuild

 

[Eielson]

Outside of the fact that the Big East has a truly elite program in Villanova, their only real strength is depth. They don't have the pushovers at the bottom that most mid-majors have, but let's take a look at their bottom 5, and compare it to the Big XII (since they're similarly structured conferences).

Seton Hall, St Johns, Butler, Providence, DePaul.

Texas, Oklahoma, TCU, OSU, WVU.

It's not even close. The Big East is the midmajor version of the Big XII. This has been a ho-hum year by OU standards, but I believe we'd have finished second in the Big East, and you'd be really hard-pressed to make an argument we'd have ended up below 3.
