2015 Coaching Depatures Thread

Good. Whenever someone that has been inactive jumps in and grabs a major job- that stops the speculation merry-go-round. Otherwise, Miss St. grabs a coach from somewhere, and then they need a coach and so on.
 

It is a pretty uninspiring list of job openings to this point. I suppose the Indiana job would be an attractive opening.
 

I'm not sure why Marshall would take the Alabama job, when he can pretty much have the biggest job he can be very selective. If Indiana or Texas were to open up, I'd have to think one of the two would go after Marshall.

per CBS:

Alabama officials are prepared to present an offer in excess of $3 million per year in an attempt to lure Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall to Tuscaloosa just as soon as the Shockers' season concludes, multiple sources have told CBSSports.com.

The sources said Alabama's administration is determined, one way or another, to make a big hire to replace Anthony Grant in response to Auburn employing Bruce Pearl last March, and Marshall is essentially alone atop the wish-list. Alabama cannot offer Marshall great basketball tradition, school officials understand. But one source said they plan to pitch "piles of money, an athletic department with a culture of winning and every resource he needs to compete with anybody on a national level." It's possible football coach Nick Saban could eventually be involved in what would amount to a high-profile recruitment.

"Alabama is gonna go big," one source said.

Alabama's basketball tradition isn't that bad. They've sent 26 players to the NBA/ABA vs. Wichita State's 12. 5 of their players logged NBA time this year. They've made the NCAA tournament 20 times and, although they've never been to the final four, they've had a few runs. It wouldn't take much for them to be a regular SEC contender behind Kentucky and Florida.

There's no reason that they couldn't be as good as the Indiana or Texas programs are right now.
 

and it only works out when that coach is incredibly gifted. Marshall is that and people have known it for 10 years. In other news UVA coach Tony BENNETT won his second national coach of the year award today becoming only the 9th coach to have won it twice and the 2nd to win it at two different schools. You will not lose Pitino any time soon. He has much to do before he is considered for those kinds of jobs
 








Sporting News: Report: Steve Lavin's job in jeopardy at St. John's

Steve Lavin's tenure at St, John's could end before his contract does next year.

According to SNY.tv, a “little bit of a power struggle” exists between Lavin, at least one of the program’s financial backers and some members of the administration about the direction of the program. The report cited unnamed sources.

Is the Alabama fan base going to get excited for Steve Prohm after having visions of Gregg Marshall dancing in their heads?
 



Depaul has offered the job to Bobby Hurley who simply needs the platform for his incredible recruiting ties in NY and New Jersey

Bama is only gonna be happy if lord Saban clones himself and coaches basketball.
