not liking these names

I just want to be prepared to be successful when the Spring signing date gets here.

Hiring needs to happen by a week from tomorrow. that’s just my opinion. we need a couple of crucial recruits to round out our roster.

Dang, we already had a Andy Katz is an idiot thread… seems like he’s just pulling stuff out of his a$$ to write something.

[quote=“Over49er, post:53, topic:22903”]I understand the need to name a new coach in a timely manner, but I don’t think an extra week or 2 in this particular situation is necessarily such a bad thing.[/quote]Agree.

[quote=“hootie, post:55, topic:22903”]I’ve going to take a wait and see attitude. They could be close or the could be early in the process. If I was to hazzard a guess, I’d say we’re down to a couple or 3 guys, but that’s all it is- a guess.

Give them a chance- they’ve actually made some good hires in the past in other sports, maybe they will again. I prefer to have someone in place now, but I would rather do a thorough vetting and be as sure as we can they are the right person.

I don’t prefer an ACC re-tread, but once again, I don’t get a vote.[/quote]Agree.

[quote=“Chipper, post:65, topic:22903”]McKillop is the only one of these I would take. That ain’t gonna happen. Maybe Brownell too. WTF did Katz get this lit of losers from?[/quote]Yes, quite a list of losers. Afterall, since the last time the Niners went to the Big Dance, the trio of Brownell, McKillop, and Young have accumulated only 6 NCAA appearances. And Brownell is a real loser, having never had a losing season as a head coach and only six 20-win seasons out of 8 total. Definitely wouldn’t want anyone like that.

I love how no one on this message board actually knows anything, all we are hearing, including from the news, is just a bunch of BS rumors, and yet
-Judy is an idiot
-our program is doomed
-there was no plan when we fired Lutz
-Fire Judy and Phil
-Wow I can’t believe we are talking to these guys who we actually have no way of knowing whether we’ve talked to them or not until we hire them

Hey guys, I hear if you wear tin foil on your head it will keep the ACC from brainwashing you into a Tarheel fan. Better get on that. I’m stocking up as we speak.

If this is true (Observer staff hasn’t convinced me they are close enough to this situation to know), then it leads me to believe we have our guy and haven’t gone public with it yet. Either that or Judy/CHP are aiming higher than Kelsey. That makes me nervous because personally, I think Kelsey would be a great fit and it doesn’t make much sense to not interview him.

Agree with others about timeline. I think by Monday, a decision is made public, one that may have already been made behind closed doors.

Brownell—not a bad choice (probably 4-5th on my personal list after Kelsey, Hopkins, Dooley and Groce) but McKillop and Young. ::slight_smile: You conveniently mention their appearancesin the last 5 years (2 for McKillop and I guess 1 for Young…WOW! McKillop has been at Davidson for what ~20 years and has how many NCAA trips (no wins until Steph came along and I’m willing to bet no more for a while). Not saying their “losers” but they aren’t necessarily Hall of Famers either. I’d put Lutz’ record well above either of them although McKillop does get a little extra credit for his one “miracle run”.

Okay … instead of ‘losers’ can we call them ‘lousy candidates’?

Odom, McKillop, Shyatt, etc may have won a lot of games during their career but I dunno if they’re the right choice here. Brownell is an excellent choice for people who prefer to win games by scores of 40-37 rather than to lose games by scores of 83-80. But I could see current players leaving rather than staying for Brownell and watching their scoring averages get cut in half.

Yes, the SoCon is what it is, but the fact remains that someone mentioned “losers” to describe coaches who have taken their respective teams to the Big Dance since the last time the Niners went. And I’ll say Davidson gets back to NCAAs within the next 2-3 years. Hopefully we will have been again by then.

Anyway, not lobbying for McKillop or Young to be the coach, just amused by comments that are way off base. And when speaking of “miracle runs,” Davidson’s a lot more recent than ours.

Good news

Larry Shyatt- negative

What I do like about so many names floating is it helps create demand and gives leverage to us instead of being uncw begging guys

From a aggregate of Jeff Goodman’s and Jim Utter’s tweets, its between Dooley, Kelsey and Hopkins. I would have Dooley and Kelsey tied for most likely with Hopkins far less likely.

Serious question…So, getting in 1-2 times over the last 5 years is better than getting in 5-6 times a few years before? I just don’t get that. I think its more important to look at what a coach has done overall, not JUST the last 2-3 years.

Depends. If a guy has been somewhere 4 years and been successful for the last two, maybe he had to get his players in and his methods sold in to the team. You would have to look at it situation by situation I would think.

Then I’m glad you’re not our AD/Chancellor or Bobby would likely still be coaching. Whether you agree with it or not, it’s “what have you done for me lately” for a lot of schools.

IMO, if you’re comparing coaches in 2010:

2 NCAA appearances in last 5 years > 5 appearances prior to 2006

With that said, I would rather have Lutz back than McKillop. Like Bob a lot and think he’s a class act but he’s not big enough for our program as arrogant as that sounds.

In all seriousness how can he make statements like that. Is someone in the Athletic Dept. calling him? Does Dooley even know he is in the lead. Does Judy say Dooley you are our leader and we just need to interview a couple of other people to make ourselves feel good and be sure to use this front runner status against us when we start negotiating salary? WTF[/quote]

Talking head getting paid to talk whether they know anything or not. All they do is throw BS around.

These guys use the “Hootie-at-a-bar Theory”. Hit on 200 chicks, if 1% like you, you’ve got a threesome.
