Time to go hard after Sam Cassell

Well he is someone that would likely stay long term if he is successful and not a situation where we lose a coach every time they make the NCAA tournament.
It’s time that they poach a head coach from a big program instead of hiring a head coach from a Patriot League school or an assistant. When the Vols needed a head coach, they got Barnes. When Auburn needed a head coach, they got Pearl. If PSU doesn’t do this, then just fold the program.
 
Rick Pitino. The ink’s not even dry on his St John’s contract. I’m sure he can get out of it. ;)

Yeah, it’s not that simple.

Hey, let’s just bring Coach K out of retirement..obviously it’s that easy…just pick out the coach you want and he magically comes here. And if he doesn’t, it’s the AD’s failure.

Great idea! Coach K it is. ;)

(And since you missed it, the Pitino suggestion was clearly sarcastic).
 
Well, other schools make it simple; it’s almost all about the green stuff.
Not true, many coaches at mid major schools have been offered a lot more money to stay when a bigger program comes calling, yet they still leave.

I got that, the winky face gave it away. I was agreeing with your sarcasm with more sarcasm.

Pearl was fired from Tennessee and unemployed when hired by Auburn.

Realistically, no head coach at a “big program” would leave a stable situation. If we’re getting someone like that, then they are on the hot seat.

I was going to suggest we consider Mike Brey, but would take coach K’s call if he’s interested I guess.

Yeah, the Pearl hire was controversial when it happened. Most have forgotten about it over time.
