. I wouldn't mind us getting Dayton's coach. His Dayton team in the NIT was really fun to watch.There just doesn't seem to be any big-name coaches left who want to come here. It seems like we are going to be getting some guy who's been out of college basketball doing color commentary or an up-and-coming assistant/mid-major coach that's not going to enthuse the general fan base.UOducksTK1 wrote:I have no clue who our new coach will be now. Pretty much every name mentioned this last month or so has been shot down.
Not if they've been out for over 5 years since their recruiting contacts are probably going to be a little out of date and so might their coaching skills.woundedknees wrote:So, getting the college basketball version of Mike Belloti wouldn't appeal to you?

I'm not sure he could have handled being second fiddle to the football team like he was down at Iowa.swagnatic101 wrote:+1. Alford would've been a downgrade from Ernie.oregontrack wrote:Meh...

For the record, I was making fun of the people who have said that every time another team's coach signs an extension. It wasn't a swing & miss cuz #1, I don't think we were even going after him & #2, like you said, we wouldn't even want the guy.oregontrack wrote:Meh... Alford was never, ever a serious candidate.
