Joe C will nail this hire! He is the best in the business and it ain’t close!

We will see. He’s still the guy who hired Jeff Capel.

Having said that, I am optimistic.

Capel wasn’t that bad a hire. We went to the 2nd round and elite 8 with him.

Even if u think capel is some awful hire that’s still like complaining about a pimple on christy Brinkley.

Didn't he get OU in some kind issues with NCAA?

He sucked. Taylor gave him Blake!!!

And Taylor and Blake were the ones who kept the other players in line, not Capel. It was all downhill after Taylor and Blake left.

 

[sanguinetti]

on paper, Capel was a pretty good hire....like Bob Stoops for Joe C.

top asst from a top program. was going to get a HC job eventually.

formula.

If this is the case and you mentioned McCasland, I’m guessing it’s a done deal with him?

Joe C is terrific but is there a long list of remarkably successful hires he's made? I'm not sure that's really his greatest strength.

 

[inoref]

I wonder what are the Joe expectations of a new coach here would be?

Joe C. was hired in April, 1998. He hired Stoops, CJ Kindler, Lon Kruger and Lincoln Riley. I think Mark Williams was already the gymnastics coach when he arrived. Patty Gasso and Sherri Coale were already here when he arrived. Wrestling has been problematic as has baseball. Capel is the worst hire, imo.

Has anybody watched a bunch of N Texas bball ? Any scouting reports on MsCasland on what he runs, style of play etc ? It seems as if only a matter of time.

Great question. What is his identity besides recruiting I hope?

 

[CMSOONER]

If it is McCasland, maybe Abou Ousmane will follow him.

I don’t have a scouting report, but watching their first tourney game, I believe the announcers said they had one of if not the slowest paces of play in the country.

Decent chance Blake doesn't come here to play for Sampson. Blake has publically supported Capel numerous times. Attempting to take Blake from Capel is like taking Buddy from Lon. Pure nonsense.

Capel had been the least successful coach at VCU in years. He was a terrible hire. Joe has made great hires but several poor ones in minor sports. Hopefully this will be a great hire.
