I wish Beard ended up here, but GT is more uppity than UT and probably wouldn’t touch him:

 

 

I think that Mike Brady haircut worked against him, as well as his team stinking up the joint.

I don’t see Pitino in Texas. I think St. John’s makes so much sense.

Tech has formed a search committee that consists Kirby Hocutt (AD), Dusty Womble (biggest basketball donor, our new practice facility is named after him), Norense Odiase (former player under Tubby Smith and Chris Beard), Joey McGuire.

The Pitino thing is likely a nothingburger and Rothstein's source is almost certainly his agent who's just jockeying for leverage for his client. Pretty common tactic.

McGuire being on the committee makes me think they might actually seriously go after Jerome Tang. They are good friends, even though it seems like a long shot. He doesn't seem like the type to hop from a school after one year and he seemingly has it made so far up in Manhattan.

Unfortunately, only one of those people know the real ins and outs of college basketball, and even then only as a player.  Don't get me wrong, he's dyed in the wool red and black, and that is a great thing.  I also like having Joey Mc on the search committee because he knows the kind of coach that would fit Tech.

I hope Womble's only role on the committee is to consult on how much he's willing to donate to the salary.  To me, that is the only role for a BMD.

Yeah. This should be a lesson to every school that can give the head job to the interim guy. He did well with Marshall’s leftovers but they all transferred out the following year. he hasn’t been able to recruit to the same level Marshall did. Odd because he was the lead recruiter and good at it. Two years down the drain.

Paul Mills (ORU coach) is gonna get alotta attention from schools with open jobs.  He's an aggy grad and was an asst coach at baylor from 2003-2017. And at age 50, it means he can probably coach at least 10+ years...  

Andy Kennedy seems like a meh type of hire if tech is serious...

I dont know, man.... banging an Allsup's lot lizard while housing a fried burrito sounds like 10 seconds of heaven to me. And I guess it can still be, since Rick apparently prefers eye-talian skanks. I'll have to brush up my resume.

Uh, might be a little generous for Pitino.
