Case in point: I didn't realize that the coach Iowa just fired was Todd Lickliter, the former coach at Butler.
He only lasted three years in the Big-10 before he got booted. What will he do now? Where will he go? I'm sure he'll probably get another shot at a mid-major school, but it will be a long time - if ever, before he gets a shot at coaching in a major conference again.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that every coach at mid-major schools should rest on their laurels and never try to move up in the ranks. I'm only saying that there's significant risk involved in doing so, and you'd better be willing to accept the consequences of failure if you decide to give it a shot.
The grass isn't always greener. Just ask Todd Lickliter.
Few offered and coming?

If the first link is true, Few probably is not coming to Oregon per the second link.

Fine with me, as long as we get one of the other rumored coaches.

Re: Few offered and coming?
"A lot will be determined over the next few days. Leon Rice is a finalist for the head coaching at Boise State University. Why is that important? Rice is in line to take over at Gonzaga if Few leaves for another job. If Rice ends up going to coach the Broncos, then don't expect Few to go anywhere."Greenblood wrote:If the first link is true, Few probably is not coming to Oregon per the second link.

Whew. While I woudn't mind having Few & think hes a good coach, I think we could do a lot better. I wish we would just go all out for JDixon & if he says no, go all out for Turgeon.
