Plus a lot of times the coaches themselves have ties to the search firm. Search firm then suggests the coaches that have ties with them. An incestuous relationship that helps that coaches and firms but does nothing for the schools

Maybe it's Kyle Neptune? He's turned Fordham around, even with losing his best player early on in the season.

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
This shows what a disaster it was scheduling Milwaukee for a home and home and then going on the road to start the series. Jr was probably only going to play one year at Milwaukee, but with his father gone he's definitely leaving now. If we were going to schedule a home and home with such a terrible program, and frankly a program at that level should only be a buy game for us and not a home and home, we could have at least gotten the benefit of having Jr. come into the Ryan Center

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
Another coach that will probably get some interest in moving up is Chris Jans from New Mexico State (WAC)
He is currently under paid for his value ($290,000) through 2027. Retention bonus of $294,000.
In his 5 years at NMSU, this will be his 4th NCAAT if 2020 wasn't cancelled.
https://nmstatesports.com/
"All told, Jans' record as an NCAA Division I head coach stands at 116-37 (.758) through five seasons. Jans' winning percentage of .758 is the fifth-best among all active NCAA Division I bench bosses with only Mark Few (Gonzaga), John Calipari (Kentucky), Bill Self (Kansas) and Mike Krzyzewski (Duke) ahead of NM State's leader.
In Western Athletic Conference games, NM State has been nearly unstoppable with Jans leading the way. The Aggies are a combined 50-9 (.847) in regular-season league games through the last four seasons, owning the nation's second-best in-conference winning percentage through that same period of time.
A three-time WAC Coach of the Year, Jans also claimed the title of Joe B. Hall Coach of the Year in 2015 while he was the head coach at Bowling Green. The Joe B. Hall Coach of the Year has been awarded every year since 2012 to recognize the top first-year NCAA Division I men's basketball coaches in the nation. In 2019 and 2020, Jans was also selected as the NABC District Six Coach of the Year."

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
He's got an impressive resume - he's won at every school he's been at. That being said, I almost wonder if the Atlantic 10 is "enough" of a step up from the WAC for him. New Mexico State has earned at least one at-large bid, vs. relying on the auto-bid, and if he wants to move up, I kind of think he would just be able to get interest from P5 jobs. Because of the multiple seasons of success though, and knowing nothing else about him, I like him more than going the assistant coach route.Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years ago Another coach that will probably get some interest in moving up is Chris Jans from New Mexico State (WAC)

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
Potential candidates for the UMass coach should probably not view the job as a stepping stone to better future gigs. History points to the opposite outcome:
UMass Coaches in the last 50 years
Jack Leaman 1966-79 | Record 217-126
Ray Wilson 1979-81 | Record 5-48
Tom McLaughlin 1981-83 | Record 16-40
Ron Gerlufsen 1983-88 | Record 55-84
John Calipari 1988-96 | Record 189-70
Bruiser Flint 1996-01 | Record 86-72
Steve Lappas 2001-05 | Record 50-65
Travis Ford 2005-08 | Record 62-35
Derek Kellogg 2008-17 | Record 155-137
Matt McCall 2017-2022 | Record 59-81
Only two of the last ten UMass coaches in 50 years have ever left Amherst for better jobs - Calipari (NBA NJ Nets) and Ford (Oklahoma State). Leaman had success but retired. Most all the others were fired or resigned before being terminated. Calipari is the only coach to have ever won in the NCAA Tournament at UMass.

Once Cox is fired next week it will be interesting to see where the assistants from his staff land. Hurley had several assistants move up during his tenure - Bobby, Preston, Luke Murray, ARD. None of Cox’s assistants have moved up during his tenure and I’d be surprised if any do after his firing.

I love TJ, I hope he finds some footing.
Carroll must have connections too through his dad.
Can't imagine any of them would be fielding high level calls. Hurley was losing top guys every year - which was part of his problem with our coaching salary pool.
PMurph/ARD/Luke Murray as obvious examples from URI.
He also has 4 coaches that were under him that are HC's - Bashir Mason, Steve Enright, Bobby Hurley, and Dave Cox. Soon to be 5 with Kimani Young.
What's happened with Cox's guys?
Boswell? Sutton? Carroll?

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
New coach needs a considerably better assistant coach budget than what's here now.
Just part of the entire package.
What's the assistant pool here now? 450K?
That needs to be raised to around 600K at least.
Does anyone think Archie would come here without that?

Maybe UMass will make a run at Schmidt, who has ties to the area. He'd be a huge improvement if they can lure him with more $.

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
Schmidt’s great. Appears to be a good guy and does tremendous work at that school. This season so far, though, seems a little disappointing. They lose a lot after this season and have a pretty thin roster as it is.
I always think of the guys who maybe have the opportunity to move but don’t. A guy like Steve Masiello, for example. He was on his way to South Florida before everyone realized he hasn’t actually graduated from college, and he hasn’t had a similar opportunity since then.

Yeah, me too. With the scholarships counting again, there could be some interesting roster movement around the sport. It’s not a bad time for a new coach to get started somewhere. A few seniors have announced they’re coming back, a lot are letting it play out. When these guys decide, are they pushed to another team when their team’s roster is full? Does someone get pushed out to make room for them?Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoCurious to see if any of the seniors for the Bonnies return for their additional year.ace wrote: ↑2 years ago Schmidt’s great.

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
I kind of think Schmidt stays put. Obviously, Jim Baron went from Bonaventure to URI, but I can't think of many other examples where a coach goes from one team to another in a mid-major conference. (I can think of more examples like Shaka Smart, where he went from a high major job before he got fired to another major job.) If it's -just- about the money, then I think Bonaventure can choose to match what UMass is offering, since (the rumored) $1.8M isn't like $5M. If Schmidt is unhappy at Bonaventure, I think it's more likely that he explores his opportunities with higher conference teams.

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
McCall at UMass is already done.
Speculation is now centered on Cox and Howard at LaSalle. Dambrot at DU got a vote of confidence this week so he may be safe. Richmond could be in play if they have finally decided to move on from Mooney after 11 straight disappointing years of no NCAA. The other things to keep an eye on is if the more successful A-10 coaches get poached by bigger schools. Schmidt, Rhoades, and Grant would fit this category.

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
I don’t think we should hire Schmidt but you can’t compare him to Baron. Schmidt is a far superior coach.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoSo we hire an assistant coach the second time to keep the roster and it implodes. And we would hire another coach from the bonnies that we fired the first coach from the bonnies? We don't learn do we?
Slava Ukraini!

Re: 2022 Coaching Carousel
My first pick is and will be Archie (thanks BlueMan). But I'd rather Schmidt than Skerry or Becker. He's not the worst option available.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoSo we hire an assistant coach the second time to keep the roster and it implodes.
