2025 - 2026 Coaching Carousel

No he just hires his target candidate and then lets the program whither away into mediocrity because his apathy.

Didn’t stand up or fight for Kelvin, did nothing to help capitalize on the momentum Buddy built, let LK struggle till his retirement, and the last 5 years are well documented.

But you’re right, at least he doesn’t embarrass himself in public with messy coaching searches.

I used to be a bigger fan of Joe C prior to NIL. I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone who felt he let down the basketball fans. I was just pointing out that his coaching searches were private so we really never knew who his primary targets were when replacing Sampson, Capel or Kruger. Somehow, though, Geno Auriemma's name did surface as Kelvin's replacement.

Who else did we consider when we hired Capel? I was looking at his 4 years at VCU and I had remembered his time there very differently than it was apparently. Aka it didn't look like a good hire

Seems like Terry Evans lobbied for the job hard, but I don’t think he was ever a serious candidate. I really liked him as a coach. Always wondered how he would have done.
