So who do you guys hire at the end of the year?

[QUOTE=Niner89;204654]If Calamari doesn’t mind a pay cut, up for a challenge just to see how good he is. Of course, he could always crawl here and beg for a job with Judy.[/QUOTE]

Coaches that get #1 seeds don’t have to beg. This year is his challenge because the team has no pure shooter or a go to guy.

Yo Squid ! take it easy. It was as silly as your nonsense question don’t you think? Ya don’t like it; go back and have fun at mempiss board.

[QUOTE=Nugget;204666]I was just thinking about the professional obituary that would be written on ESPN.com if Lutz was fired at the end of the season.

[I]Coach Bobby Lutz, in his ninth year at his alma mater was fired this week. Lutz won 2/3 of his games at Charlotte and is the #35 on the all-time win list of active coaches. In his nine seasons Lutz led the Niners to post-season play seven times with five trips to the NCAA tournament. Lutz has graduated 90% of the players that have completed their eligibility at Charlotte and incurred no NCAA sanctions during his tenure as head coach.[/I]

[I]Athletic Director Judy Rose stated that Charlotte could no longer put up with this level of performance and released Coach Lutz on Monday. Rose stated that a national search for a new head coach had begun and she felt that candidates for the job would respect the program’s committment to winning and willingness to cut its losses.[/I][/QUOTE]
Thank you Nugget! :clap:

I haven’t read one post in this thread, so forgive me if I’m being redundant. Lutz isn’t going anywhere unless, he get’s a higher paying job, the big doners pull support or an unsavory situation threatens to humiliate the program. I doubt any of these are likely.

i’ll do it.

I’ll do it for about $50k a year too.

Bball, I will have to agree with you on this one. Right now the only ā€œforcedā€ vacancy I see for sure in the A-10 at season’s end is at Bona, though there would be quite of bit of rejoicing in Rhode Island if Jim Baron would make an ā€œencoreā€ performance in Olean.

If a name on this list doesn’t do it for you I don’t know what to say:

Pat Kennedy- We have all seen how good this guy is up close. Convincing min to leave Towson will be tough
Todd Bozeman- I think the program needs to be cleaned up a bit, this is the guy.
Pete Gaudet- He has shown he can follow a legend with smashing results.
Craig Esherick- Another man not scaredto follow a legend.
Clyde Drexler- The guy dominated CUSA. It would be tough since we need him more than he needs us.
Benie Kosar- To explanation needed.
Jan van Breda Kolff - He knows the A10 anf how to work the JuCo ranks.
James Green- Just because I miss him.

I had to read this twice and I’m still laughing! :smile:

While we’re at it, I will add:

Shawn Finney - we know firsthand that he can drop an F-bomb with the best of them
Eddie Fogler - Chapel Hill pedigree. What more needs to be said?
Perry Clark - like Kennedy, we’ve seen him up close at both Tulane and Miami-FL
Tom Penders - hey, if we can’t get Drexler
Buzz Petersen - another Carolina guy
Danny Nee - hey, Duquesne just didn’t give him enough time
Billy Hahn - what rape scandal?
Bob Hill - like Duquesne, if Fordham had given him another year or two, the Rams could have had a ā€œperfectā€ record since they were only 2 games from it in his final season in the Bronx
Larry Eustachy - he’s really tearing it up in Hattiesburg since taking over at my wife’s alma mater! Just remember to hide your daughters!

Clyde Drexler- The guy dominated CUSA. It would be tough since we need him more than he needs us. Bernie Kosar- No explanation needed. Jan van Breda Kolff - He knows the A10 and how to work the JuCo ranks.

I have this weird mental image of Head Coach Jan van Breda Kolff walking with assistants Clyde Drexler and Bernie Kosar to the theme of the movie ā€˜Kill Bill’.

What, no Jim Harrick? You guys sure are fickle.

We wouldn’t want our players to have to suffer through that unbelievably difficult ā€œexamā€ in the basketball class.

I think Larry could be the one man that could force the Charlotte Observer to acknowledge that the Charlotte 49ers have a basketball team.

If I could sneak away from the wife for a night, I’d love to go run ass with that guy.

MIKE MONTGOMERY!!!

What about #34 Henry Williams?

India Lucas, because you’ll never have to worry about how the players on the court are looking.

[QUOTE=uncommon-niner;204336]Nolan Richardson.

Fired from Arkansas a few years ago; Won the NCAA championship in 94’ and I believe had a very successful career besides his racial outcasting. He would be on my list as would be ex-hornets coach Paul Silas.[/QUOTE]

Paul Silas still lives here. I saw him at Costco the other day.

[QUOTE=run49er;205089]
Tom Penders - hey, if we can’t get Drexler
[/QUOTE]

You’ll need to take Penders off the list.

We have a classless but loyal fan who does not get along with Penders’ wife.

:smile:

Bball, I will have to agree with you on this one. .
Well geez, you don't have to make it sound like you're agreeing with Satan.
