Kimani would bring in the best recruiting class in the conference within 2 years and compile a staff light years ahead of anything Rhody has had the last 4 years. He will have his pick of jobs when he wants it.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
I think Archie being offered the Maryland or Louisville position will not happen.
It will be a while before Archie will be a B10 candidate and Louisville is one of the premier programs.
Both will set their sights higher than Archie.
His brother Sean if not for his NCAA issues would be a likely candidate though.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
If there’s only X amount of money to either get a big time, splash hire for the mens team, or extend Tammi, I bet he goes with the splash hire for the mens team.
It just comes down to dollars and cents, and the mens team will bring more exposure and revenue for the school.
Since it’s 2022 and before people get all up in arms, please provide evidence to contradict my opinion of exposure and revenue brought in and I will stand corrected.
Go Rhody

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Kimani should definitely be on our short list, if obviously the bigger names or splash hires aren't realistic.
Gates, him, and Bashir should all be high on the list of up and comers.
I would even include Langel in that group.
As previously mentioned, Becker, Boals, and Groce are other coaches they should also consider.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Would love Kimani Young and was really impressed with the job he did filling in for Dan the other night but think he's out of our reach.
I will again recommend that Thorr and the powers that be please consider Brandin Knight at Rutgers. Associate HC in the Big Ten working under Pikiell and on Jamie Dixon's staff at Pitt (Big East/ACC).

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
I wonder if Dan would advocate for Kimani to come here or at least have interest. I'd hope that Dan's experience here would at least give us a chance to get him before potential P5 offers. His demeanor over the last 5 minutes of the UConn/Nova game was impressive to watch.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Not sure what Archie's price would be, but I think we would have a shot as you don’t usually get canned at a power conference job then get another one right away, You usually need to reestablish yourself…either on TV or at a lower level.

If there is any chance at Archie Miller, URI administration should put a full court press on and should be the clear target over any of the other names that have been mentioned here. Mason, Young, Becker and a couple of the others mentioned, are somewhat intriguing but should be fallback guys if there is any way they can get involved with Miller

How would a power conference sell the Archie hire with the results at his last stop? He needs us too…or at least someone like us.

The Millers are from the Pittsburgh area (Beaver Falls). Sean played at Pitt.

Yeah, I was thinking one of the brothers.
It may be a little too soon for Sean with all the NCAA problems and baggage still following him.
If that is no longer an issue, there may be bigger openings available to him.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
The questions being: Would he consider URI in a few weeks from now? Would Dan recommend this job to Kimani? I'm sure Dan has a lot of positive thoughts he could say to him about us. Surely there are some negatives, but maybe at this time in his career, this could be a good place for Kimani as a rising star as Dan was 10 or so years ago.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Two things are true- Dan roots for his guys and wants them to take good opportunities when they can get them, even if it makes things a little worse for him for a minute. Also, Dan knows Kimani has reached a point where he doesn’t have to take a bad job to get his shot, and the URI job is not a bad one.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑2 years agoThe questions being: Would he consider URI in a few weeks from now?

If you remember those old recruiting threads, there was always mention of how Minnesota was randomly recruiting a lot of the NYC/NJ guys that Rhody was. That was Kimani.

The way you describe people/schools/fans is kind of alarming, and extremely weird.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
I’m open to all options, but I can understand why some may not want to go from one Dan assistant to another…fool me once. Kimani may be the real deal and I wouldn’t dismiss him because of that, but I think it would take guts to hire him based on the last Dan assistant we hired.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
6 years with Pitino and 4 years with Dan is good experience. But, to hire another assistant, I think Thorr would have to be blown away in the interview process. But if he is blown away, I'd rather go with a young up and comer than a retread. I admit, I don't know a lot about Kimani as potential head coaching material. That would be up to Thorr to determine. But he is highly regarded nationally and as Ace says, has immense recruiting ties, especially to NYC. It's up to Thorr to determine what kind of leader he'd be. I'm not saying he'd be at the top of the list, but I wouldn't discount him either.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoDan was a head coach.
