MBB Coaching Carousel- Non Power 5

That won’t end well. Lazy hire. Makes zero sense if program warranted a change to promote someone that was part of the problem.

Marshall was one of top teams in league just a year ago. They lost two top players from that team to portal. That included an all conference guard and a center who was freshman of year. No wonder they slipped some this season.

Losing players is no longer an excuse. Everyone is losing players. Go into the portal and find replacements.

Thank You. For God's sake. And recruit players that actually may develop and perform in your program

[zephyr]

Whew, thanks for the additional info. Couldn’t picture Marshall USL’ing a hire.

Maybe we could trade them Marlin?

BREAKING: Marshall head coach Dan D'Antoni has been forced out, sources told @TheFieldOf68.

The 76-year-old D'Antoni took over in 2014, took the Herd to the NCAA tourney in 2018.

Assistant and alum Cornelius Jackson will take over for D'Antoni.

10 years on the job. Mostly meh, with a couple of good years sprinkled in. Sound familiar? Marshall wants better.

Nah, their administration needed him off the group insurance plan…lol.


Yes young ones, that’s a real thing with small businesses.

There is no NIL funds to pull from. It's hard to compete with schools like Mcneese with their larger NIL pool.

Is that a coaching candidate that you really think would work out better here?

Bro, they wanted to keep the culture.

4. DaBoot (Obvious choice)
5. Brad Boyd
6. Nick Saban (why not)
7. Elfrid Payton (legend)

My replacement for Big Fish

Going off our current pool of $800k salary for MBB:

Any coach willing to come here for $400k base, with $400k diverted from RCAF and into Krewe Allons bucket for MBB. Would have to ask the whale donors to divert the funds themselves prior to contributing to RCAF for legality.

That has to be the model moving forward to be competitive every year.

How many universities with consistently competitive basketball teams have the coach funding the NIL?

Dave retweeted an announcement from a top MBB prospect in North Carolina announcing his top 7 schools. Most were SEC teams. No UNC or Duke.

In this new era, if you want to compete with the teams with unlimited resources buying their roster...universities with limited resources need to do some creative balancing of the book.

In the previous era, maybe coaches were worth $800k because they had all of the control. No players transferring out, players not being paid. They could recruit and develop players without yearly turnover. If I were a young up-and-coming MBB coach, I'd make that pitch to get a head job. Pay me x, and let's put y in an NIL pool.

If RCAF was independent, no brainer. But, alas, it’s about control.

[CajunVic]

And what great up and comer are we hiring for $400,000 a year?
