New Coach

[WichitaSooner]

The Athletic published an article today with a list of several candidates for Indiana. Some of them are guys we could have hired 11 months ago if we had made the obvious decision to move on.

My co-worker that is friends with a BMD said that porter is specially being discussed by the big whigs today

Lusk believes PM will be back next season but lists Chris Crutchfield as a strong candidate if PM is gone.

Maybe on PM because Joe C/donors are too cheap

but no chance on the second part.

If we move on from PM, Kevin Kruger from UNLV should get a look. He has shown an ability to recruit, build and develop.

Well, he'll likely be available after he gets fired by UNLV once the season is over.

You're freaking crazy. He's going to get fired at unlv.. why would he get a step up job? I'm taking a wild guess that you're a big kellen Sampson fan too?

We can agree to disagree brother. He landed a stud 5-star Dedan Thomas Jr. and had them right on the cusp of the NCAA Tournament last year. UNLV is a tough place to win.

You sure?

They have a great football coach. You all will see. 2025. Watch

yep...people are going to look really stupid after next year.

If we buyout Moser to hire Crutchfield, the program will officially be deceased.

 

[colston15]

You sure?

He’s done a terrible job at UNLV.

CBS sports listed him as a coach on the hot seat. But Canada knows better

Yeah. That would be a worse hire than Capel or PM

Kruger has been as mid as mid can be.

KenPom finishes and current year: 90, 95, 73, 98 (no tournaments, pretty meh.)

Yea, they made a good push in the second half of last season but have otherwise not done anything of note. There is no way he gets a better job unless he either turns it around there (if not fired) or goes to a smaller school and rebuilds his career.

I don't know anyone on the inside, but I wouldn't be surprised, especially if Joe C is doing the hiring. They know him, he knows OU, he'd come cheap.

Omaha is leading the Summit League right now. Still, we got a mid-major coach the last time the job was open, and it hasn't gone as well as anyone would like.

This would not go over well with the fan base.

With that said, the trash can story at Omaha is funny. After a December losing streak, one of their assistants started beating up a trash can after games as a motivational stunt. They won 9 in a row, and even had a promotion based on it: bring a small trash can to a game, fill it up with popcorn for $5.

$5 for five gallons: Omaha basketball hosts 'Bring Your Own Can' promotion ahead of game

The one-game promotion plays off of associate head coach Kyan Brown's tradition of beating up garbage cans in the team's locker room after wins.

0.01% chance they would look that way.

This would be a decision to intentionally tank men's hoops for 3 or 4 years until the new AD is in place and the department gets on more solid footing.

I'd just as soon keep PM another year.
